I am sorry if this has been asked before, but when or will it be open sourced. It is the best Lemmy Client i have used yet but i dont like anything being closed source and i read somewhere the dev wants to open source it at some point. Just interested if there is an estimate.

Honestly, this brigading for FOSS on Lemmy is a bit annoying. Suppose the dev decides to charge a one-time fee once the app is mostly stable and done. FOSS wouldn't be a good option for that.

Personally, with the amount of effort Kuro is putting in, I hope he has a solid monetization plan in the works, because this app could become one of the more popular ones for Lemmy and they more than deserve earning money for their hard work, that is not relying on donations.
