Christian's first reaction to Voyager
Christian's first reaction to Voyager
This is from a couple of months ago but it came up after my previous post. It does seem like he doesn’t really like Voyager, but oh well.

Design wise yes it is a one to one copy, but Voyager was built from the ground up as a web app, which is completely different to Apollo’s “native Apple app” philosophy. So while it may seem at first “changed very little,” it is actually very different. He also isn’t interested in making his own “Apollo for Lemmy” so I think it’s fair to pass the torch down.

People liked Apollo for the UI. That's the (not so) secret sauce. I'd be surprised if he liked seeing his years of hard work cloned.

I am confused. Didn't he release the Apollo design specifications after the APIcalypse. People were always going to release copycat apps using that.
Edit : Seems I was wrong

I was talking more about the UI specifications and not about open sourcing the entire app. In any case it seems I was wrong because I could find nothing relating to Christian sharing his code or specification relating to apollo's UI.
This makes me respect @aeharding@lemmy.world even more because he was able to create an app pretty similar to Apollo(UI wise) by writing everything from scratch

Can you share a link to his Apollo design specifications? I seem to have missed that
-
It seems I was wrong. I remember reading somewhere that he would do this but I can find anywhere where he has said or done it
