The fact this is not coming from @[email protected] themselves is another big piece of evidence of their inability to maintain a good relationship or even just a good line of communication with the community and people who pay/paid for the app/subscription.
I've defended them in the past for falling short of this sort of thing in the past, but at this point it's inexcusable.
In my opinion, I think they need to hang it up and move on from Sync. They need to stop stringing people along. Or at least bring on another developer that can help move things along faster and maintain communication and expectations with the community.
I genuinely can't imagine being this hostile to users. If you're not making enough money, charge, or charge more. If you're spread too thin, give up the ego and hire someone to help. If you just don't care any more, let us know and shut it down! Simply checking in on your app's community once every year or so and saying "not going to happen", etc to feature requests, would help everyone. As it is, your app is broken and becoming a security risk.
I remember them disappearing for long periods during the reddit days. Was it ever a full year between updates though? I don't pretend to know ljdawson, but they've got a goose laying golden eggs here and they're keeping it locked in the basement.
I love Sync but I'm thinking about switching.
I've spent 50/50 on Voyager now. But my muscle memory still opens Sync by default. It's tough to break what's probably 10 year old habit.
I hate to say it, but I've been using a replacement for the last month now and it's the only app that has truly been as good as Sync - Summit
It's almost a 1:1 copy. It will seem very very familiar to you right out of the box.
And yes - frequent updates and it's free
Does it have multi window support like Sync?
I don't know - I've never used this feature on Sync. Not familiar with it
Basically long pressing a post, or feed opens it as its own seperate windowed app. So, there would be two or more syncs in recents menu.
