I hope to impose a better question: why would it not cost the developer? $25 may be a steal for some, but I don’t think a proprietary store really deserves so much attention from primarily FOSS developer.

@ernest@kbin.social, please. All they need is commits, PRs and comments that add something. True, dev work is full of cool updates and reporting, but it crosses roads with other mundane activities. Devlog is probably going to drain you more than it’s worth, so I hope you’ll build your priorities straight.
Let’s be open: I’m only making a press-kit for Mbin recently (and nothing much) just after being introduced to the fork as a result of @melroy@kbin.melroy.org migrating. It’s a crazy amount of reviewed and merged pull requests, which I couldn’t dream of committing nor reviewing in detail. There is simply a lot that can be done with community harnessing the project. No way this fork would be considered serious if it were to feed everyone with blog updates. At this point, your words set up a head start. It’s a matter of whether it will start: will these old habits offer something that was not served already? (Big downtimes happen to be one of those things…)
No idea if any competition will take place - again, introduction to a fork was ever so sudden, making me wonder if it didn’t have to come to this. In any case, whatever we continue doing I hope remains healthy for the wider community of contributors and users. Thank you for returning! 🤝
This is terrible news. :( Sorry to hear that work makes you download from proprietary store front. I suppose, expecting phones with LineageOS, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, etc given for work purposes is a bit much at this moment, but at least side-loading should be provided if we’re to avoid monopoly. To me, it’s never healthy if organization is fixated on using only the single app kit for everything.
