@metabolist puts out #Metatext, downright my favorite Mastodon client ANYWHERE.
So sad to see development stop. Anyone wanna pick it up? We could pool some money and fund it back to a single maintainer.
@metabolist The project: https://github.com/metabolist/metatext
Announcement about its development being stopped: https://mastodon.social/@metabolist/106394091593379772
A scratch-pad to write donation amounts if you're interested in sending it to someone (a volunteer iOS dev): https://semestriel.framapad.org/p/pooling-money-for-metatext-9rid?lang=en
Let's do this.
@x Noted. I would love to collect $100 in promised donations and speak to someone who does iOS dev to fix some critical issues that we could decide based on votes.
@celia @metabolist I’d be happy to put forward a $5 USD/month donation
@uoya Tbvh, I'm looking at a one time lump sum donation. The idea is to hire an iOS freelance/hobby dev who can fix a few issues and get a new release sorted for $X.
We still need to talk to @metabolist and figure out if they can make time to coordinate a release, if not work on the app itself.
@uoya I actually did get in touch with @metabolist but haven't heard from them. My guess is they simply don't have the time anymore, but I hope at least a release is possible with another iOS temporarily working on a few bugs.
