it was 12.99 for a hot second if you grabbed it when it first went live. I was thinking about it, but then saw it went to 19.99 just recently. Imma gonna wait.

Crazy how when it updated this morning, pay to remove ads was 12.99. I went back in and it's now 19.99. Crazy.

The closest thing I ever used that backed up actual hardware was a Playstation 1 card reader. At the time I was backing up game saves and porting them to the ps2 for emulation or something i forget exactly.

It was wild to do something like that on your computer back then. A Sony memory card in your PC? Bonkers.

Exactly. Suck the early adopter users dry just in case lemmy doesn't get huge. I mean, yes there was dev time for this app, but of importing your syncreddit press into this app is any indication, it wasn't a rewrite but merely an adaptation of API.

This is most definitely the dev seeing how much he can milk early on. Good for him if it works. I mean the app framework is amazing, don't get me wrong. But not at these prices.

exactly. I think the dev is banking on all the craziness for an app, why not charge more for the early birds. Strike while the fire is hot. Good for him, but yea, I'll wait. Lemmy itself isn't that full grown yet to warrant it either.

The best samsung phones are the 2 year old used flagship phones. All the power, features and longevity without the high sticker price. S21 Ultra is amazing at a fraction of the cost of new.

FreshRSS: RSS reader (TinyTTS is also decent, but the developer is kind of a richard)

Kanboard: For keeping track of all my client projects (though you can use it for any sort of project tracking)

Nextcloud: It's pretty full featured, but I only really use it for shared calendars and contacts so that I'm not hosting on Microsoft or Google.

Yup. Chrome is the browser you use to download a good browser. Then you ADB it.

Sync for Reddit used to be a very popular Android app for Reddit.

Some may say....it still is.... πŸ₯·

Big shout for FreshRSS. No issues with privacy (you self-host on a simple PHP/MySQL server), and you can do as many filters as you like (instead of paying for it on feedly). then get an android reader like FeedMe that supports the FreshRSS stream and you're golden!

Seriously, that pricing is bonkers. I mean it's a great app, but not at the level of productivity software!

I was on boost and switched to that ine for a while, but now I'm back on boost again. Ah, choices.

web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.

A fellow lifetimer! All I wanted was to use the windows desktop app version to play podcasts. Who would have thought it would lead to this while everyone else just lived in the phone?

It's a great app. Simple and clean. I left for podcast republic for a while because it supported groupings, but the PC added folders and well, they pulled me back in!

It's great as the free version, but if you were one of the lucky few that supported the desktop app years ago, the lifetime license is chefs kiss

Well, there is boost for lemmy that's out now. That a sale compared to sync.

If you take a look at his forums, you'll see when people request features, or just ask how to set something up, his responses are usually demeaning or meant to put the person down. And a bunch of users there defend or support it. It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I dunno, it might have changed recently, but I doubt it. The app itself, if you ignore the forums is pretty solid. But it was enough to look for another dev, and the one who does FreshRSS is pretty cool, and the posts just seem to load faster through FeedMe (android app)

Yup. I haven't tested how much actually does carry over, but my layout for views and such did, so maybe other stuff did as well.
