Build software better, together
github.com
GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

Edit 1: After I made this post I looked for the app everywhere, turns out the developer removed it from Fdroid and Google Play Store and even deleted the community.

I guess the client is done.

    While I respect the decision the dude made, anyone should always be able to back out of an open source project, I also absolutely do not understand the reasoning.

    The markdown challenge was in no way a ranking of how good or bad Lemmy apps are. It just said, “hey look, this type of formatting isn’t shown correctly in some apps”.

    How did the dev even deal with other bug reports? If other stuff didn’t work correctly, how was that then not a “bad reputation” for him? I am totally confused by this.

      from de goodbye post by the dev of Raccoon for Lemmy:

      Different apps are built with different technologies: Jerboa uses Markwon for Markdown rendering, Raccoon uses multiplatform-markdown-renderer, Thunder uses flutter_markdown, etc.

      You are not comparing the apps, you are comparing the rendering libraries we (apps’ developers) did not even write ourselves.

      App was being judged for the 3rd party library that was implemented

      Your question:

      How did the dev even deal with other bug reports?

      Very well, it was faster than The Concorde, everyone that ever contacted him can confirm that right away
