Please no!

Please don't spread proprietary apps on Mastodon. This will be the downfall. We'll just have another tw*tter.

How do you see this as proprietary? It uses the same #API like all others, i guess?

I can't test, it is #iOS only.

As far as I can tell, there is no source code availability, nor ability to share the code, for example.

Is it about making money then? Just that?

To me, the goal of a small "d" democratic Mastodon is far more important than some cute proprietary app that isn't needed to use the service.

There are plenty of people that have shown you can make money doing open source, if that is what is important.
