I have a fun idea to commission some of the artists who did Apollo icons to create some really cool final Apollo wallpapers to remember the app by. Is this something you'd pay a few bucks for, where the proceeds would go toward Apollo's refund fees?
@christianselig I would pay for this in a heartbeat!
@christianselig I’d definitely be down to drop a few bucks to support you after all the hours of entertainment I’ve gotten from Apollo!
@christianselig I’d certainly be interested.
@christianselig Even as an Android user, I would love to buy those wallpapers to support you. If at all possible, it'd be great if the purchase process was available to Android users as well!
@thomholwerda Good idea! Maybe I'll make them available on Gumroad or something, I’ve admittedly never used that. I'll have to bug someone smarter like @jordibruin who has experience for help!
Wouldn’t mind, but I do like the iconography of Apollo enough to pay for it beyond the 30th. I’m hoping the t-shirts at least gets to stay.
@christianselig Finalize the last wallpaper on a last merchandise T-Shirt.

@christianselig

That’s a neat idea. I’m all for it.

That sounds like a wonderful idea @christianselig! I’d buy all of them to support that cause.

@christianselig wait do we not get the option to NOT request the refund?

But yes, I'd pay up to 5 bucks

@christianselig I’m imagining the most chaotic macOS background with just a sea of Apollo icons. It would be disaster for usability but so great to just look at. Or maybe @pcalc could help make a screensaver version?
@christianselig I won’t accept a refund from you. You created something great; and for that, I am happy to let you keep the money I paid you. It’s very sad that you’re not interested in porting Apollo to the fediverse, though, because apps are popping up left and right when all many of us really want is Apollo for the fediverse. Memmy is starting to look like a worthy successor but there’s SO much that it will never have that Apollo had.

@harryprayiv @christianselig I second this. An Apollo front end for Lemmy would, I think, bring over some Apollo users that might not move otherwise. I think the publicity of the Apollo dev making a Lemmy client would really help push people toward decentralized alternatives. And he would have a user base advantage unlike any of the upcoming apps.

But maybe Memmy will get there. It's only in beta and has Apollo as a roadmap after all. So maybe it will have everything Apollo had after all. 🤞

@christianselig I'd definitely be up for that.
@christianselig Absolutely, yes please. Thank you.
@christianselig absolutely. Sad about Apollo going away so I’m willing to contribute.
@christianselig next up, the Apollo video game where you play as the different icon personas out to defeat the evil end boss: spez.
@christianselig 100%. Just tell me where to send the $$$
@christianselig How can we refuse the refund?
@christianselig i was not into Reddit so I never used Apollo, but i would chip in!
