The good thing is that unlike the old QuickPic fiasco, here the apps are GPLv3, so these are 100% gonna be forked, still gonna see if i don’t keep all the eggs on a single basket

Imprint9816,

A fork has already been created by the other developer - github.com/FossifyX

FarLine99,

I understand the developer, but the complete lack of communication with the community is appalling. and even the subsequent app updates to ad-supported/tracker-packed versions is just disgusting. i understand why tibbi burned out, but the sale process was handled in extremely poor way

Being burned out is no excuse to outright betray their users and principles. For the height of irony read this post by them from August

“However, we want to assure you that you are not at risk of anything similar with our apps. Instead, we bet on transparency and a fair approach to users … It is a small one-time fee that will ensure you use our apps forever – with no ads and no access to your data” 😂😐

New organization at github.com/FossifyX, looking at the discussions it looks like it’s off to a good start

QuazarOmega,

This is some depressing news

The f-droid version should be ok for now, but if you installed this from the malware distribution channel aka the Playstore I would recommend to deinstall them before the next update hits.

stepanzak,

:(

GravitySpoiled,

Thy for the heads up.

Sad to see it go
