  • I’m shocked spez gave redreader a shout out as still trying to work with them.

    That’s an other dev (quantumbadger) I would expect to be honest with his community. He’d been pretty vocal in earlier updates that he wasn’t going to be able to pay them at any price since his app is FOSS and distributed as source.

    Curious what his next update will say.


  • I loved the commentary on that exchange from hackernews.

    The rule that you shouldn’t build your business on someone else’s API obviously applies here and in the end Reddit is of course justified in choosing to shut out third party apps. But I must say it is simply hilarious that their exorbitant new price was so absurd that when devs quoted it back to them as a buyout rate, Reddit felt like they were being blackmailed. I mean that’s literally getting offended at your own number. “”"

    He’s right. If you think the golden goose lays $x/yr and the guy offers it at $.5x and it offends you, you’ve got a problem with yourself.
