Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

Ice Cubes is probably the most exciting SwiftUI app for me yet. A full, rich, feed based app solely in SwiftUI is something I honestly wasn’t sure was possible. The scroll performance is a tiny bit rough, but such a great 1.0 overall.
So I’m finally getting a chance to read through all the email you folks have sent and I’m literally sitting here crying from all the love and kind words coming our way. It’s humbling to know our work has touched so many people for the better. Letters of thanks for Twitterrific’s accessibility, it’s ease of use and much more. I wish I could hug all of you for what you’ve done for all of us today. We love you so much. 🥰👍🖖
