Just curious.

Sure, but he’d have to reach out to us first ^^
(This is not an invitation/question to start heckling christian to work with us, leave him to rest a bit, he’s just got a big proud project burned by a greedy company)

I think if he wanted to, he would. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to take a break and/or look for a more stable job. I wouldn’t expect anything soon or ever personally.

He said he wants to take a break in one of his detailed posts about the whole state of the app and Reddit. I don’t blame him.

He has a number of successful apps beyond Apollo, so I hope that they will tide him over until his next project. I would love the story arc where he returns and exacts vengeance on Reddit but I would definitely not blame him for never touching social media again.

I just hope he opensources apollo in it’s entirity. I would say there is no reason for him not to. Maybe this app can pick the best parts from the codebase and integrate it into this app.
- cerevant ( @cerevant@lemmy.world ) English0•1 year ago
There’s a great reason for him not to: he can create a paid Lemmy client based on the code. Dude made way too much money on that piece of software to just give it away.

I love Mlem so far but if Apollo came back converted to Lemmy, i would at least try out both.

Anything’s possible as long as both parties are interested.

The beauty of the fediverse is we can tag him here, even tho he only has a mastodon account. Hey @christianselig@mastodon.social, what are your thoughts on lemmy?
- ddnomad ( @ddnomad@infosec.pub ) English2•1 year ago
Yeah that would be read, though I strongly suspect that Christian would be able to just go solo if he wanted it.

This would be almost too good to be true. I would to happily help fund.

Honestly, he should just take a break, or look for something more stable. He is definitely capable! But Mlem is a great app! I hope it becomes the Apollo of Lemmy
