He probably wasn’t making enough money to keep it going. Especially since few were donating I’m guessing. And even the tip amount was ltd then €1. That’s too low.
This way he gets some money for all his hard work. But it’s crap for everyone else.
I find his apps too simple and the dialer had a bug where if you get a call and accidently swipe away the notification, the phone would ring with no way to answer it.
The problem is that the dude started out claiming it was a project for his own satisfaction. Then he tried to monetize later, and now wants to cash out.
Which is fine, that’s the way the world works. But the number of developers that make one claim or another and then change their tune later is absurd. It isn’t even about the money aspect, it’s that the dude switched gears rather than making a realistic plan from the beginning.
Jesus fucking Christ, there’s no such thing as a trustworthy android developer at this point

Welcome to the future of Lemmy. The amount of people I see here that complain about ads, but also refuse to open their wallet, is most.
Hmm, I don’t see anyone campaigning for funds. Honestly I’d chip in to my instance, but I don’t know if they even have a paypal.
Beehaw did, and they made enough money to keep the lights on and fund a project or two.
