How is making an android app related? Christian is really into IOS and making great experiences on it (he worked at Apple at one point).
Making a great Reddit experience on android is using a different tool set to create the same / a similar product and that isn’t super interesting for a developer. Business wise, he has a few other IOS apps that he will likely focus on now instead of Apollo.
If you read his posts, he’s clearly stated he isn’t up for a massive project anymore. Making an Android app would be such a project, and I believe the same is true of adapting Apollo to lemmy - it won’t be the simple port many people are hoping it would be.
I would love to see Christian make an Apollo variant for Lemmy at this point.
The article specifically talks about that.
I don’t think he will
I don’t think he’s up for it, to be honest. If he was he’d have made an Android app by now.
