Title! Sync has been my daily driver for over a decade now, and i’ve gotten far more than my money worth out of Pro & Dev. With the news of Sync for Lemmy, I’ve joined the Sync Lifetime club (long overdue tbh)

If you’ve gotten similar mileage & want to thank LJ for everything he’s done (and has committed to keep doing), lets make sure to thank him both publically and financially :)

    Why buy a project that is going to get abandoned and get a cut to Google? Wouldn’t a direct donation and then buying the new app make more sense? Am I missing something?

      You’re definitely missing something. Theres no announcement that Sync Ultra is being abandoned (presumably, as a subscription service, its brought along to the new app) & there doesn’t appear to be any other way to directly donate to LJ (i’ve asked)

      Worst case scenario in which it doesn’t port over, I spent $30 on app that i’ve used daily without a subscription for over a decade. Good spend imo

      Yes. I think the point he is making is to help support the effort financially and show the developer people want this.

      I think, he and many users are buying it before it gets taken down in a couple of weeks as a token of appreciation. I’m pretty sure they’re aware that it’s basically a donation.
