Yeah, that's how he works usually. Periods of no updates or info, then a burst of changes.
Besides, it's stable enough that he could just wait for lemmy changes before doing most of the stuff. Update frequency is kinda irrelevant once an app is functional and stable
That's wrong, bro. Once an app is released you have to INCREASE frequency because you will have lots of people trying to find security flaws. A outdated library with a vuln and ur whole software could end exploited
In theory, yeah. But on a realistic level, that doesn't require monthly updates on what is a pretty obscure app on the scale of things. One or two updates a year that address any known vulnerabilities is fine. Even that assumes that not only has a vulnerability been discovered, but that the developer is aware of it before it gets exploited in the wild.
If there's no known vulnerabilities, there's nothing to patch. If there is one and it hasn't been made public, nobody knows to patch it.
Have there been any vulnerabilities that would effect a lemmy app in the last six months? If so, dawson should be made aware for sure. If not, then there's no update needed to an otherwise functional and stable app. I don't haunt developer forums at all, my dyslexic ass can't do shit in that field, so I wouldn't be aware of any that weren't big enough to make it to the less field specific lemmy communities. I'm not being a smartass, I'm asking because I'm willing to try and get in touch with dawson via his publicly available contact info. He may be a bit erratic in terms of sync changes, but he's always been open to bug reports and such.
Average sync post.
This is pretty typical. No movement for a few months, or even longer, then a flurry of activity over a period of a few weeks before another gap.
Ongoing? I can't in good conscience say that. But I hope we'll see Sync for Lemmy become as feature complete as Sync for Reddit was.
