Absolutely nothing came from it. Except for the fact that the best Reddit client and arguably one of the best iOS apps of all time disappeared off the face of the earth.
I agree that he could have tried harder. For one, I’d have been willing to get my own API key and paid my own fees to use the app. Like part of onboarding could have been enter your API credentials. Not the most user friendly but better than nothing.
tried what? He made a very nice front end, but hosting and moderating a server himself is a lot of thankless work for a hostile userbase. I don't really blame him.
His users could've helped. Apollo's userbase was better than Reddit's average and they wouldn't crap where they eat. If Apollo dev asked for money people would gladly chip in $1 a month for the servers.
