Updated Apollo to give it that Tweetbot treatment 🤝
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?

Judging by the amount of Apollo merch that’s sold in the last two weeks without me even mentioning it, maybe I should be in the t-shirt biz instead of apps

So, if you want to pick some up, there’s a bunch of stuff available at https://cottonbureau.com/people/apollo

I'm a software developer from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I build Apollo for Reddit!

I wanted to take a minute to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support 💙 https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/

I wanted to address Reddit's continued, provably false statements, as well as answer some questions from the community, and also just say...

Well, at least Reddit has admitted their "we're not trying to be like Twitter/Elon" stuff was false

No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman

As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up ❤️ Let's hope Reddit listens. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/147a8xb/as_the_subreddit_blackout_begins_i_wanted_to_say/

Hey all, Watching many subreddits go dark for tomorrow's blackout and before I log out, I just wanted to say it's been so incredibly amazing...

I still have no words for Apollo closing down in a few days… It’s just so sad since it was one of my favorite apps of all time. I’m incredibly proud to have contributed a small part to it and I will miss it once it’s gone. Didn’t even get the chance to show this cutie… 😢
It would’ve been the perfect companion to @woollyapp 🤖❤️🐘
