This isn’t my app, it just seems super cool as a way to pull together your own social media and news.

It looks great but man I hate subscriptions and $80 for a lifetime license is absurd.
There is no such thing as a lifetime license.
Any license only lasts as long as the person doesn’t want to alter the deal.
(Speaking as a sublime text user who got shafted and switched to emacs)
I’ve been using Openvibe which is a similar app and haven’t seen one add and doesn’t have a subscription model. I understand development cost money but I agree with you.
Openvibe is backed by Automatic so zero chance it doesn’t become shit. But you can just switch when it does, I suppose.
Just curios what do you mean by become shit? Adds and/or subscriptions or something else?
Sure, any number of ways they can claw value away from consumers.
$80 for a lifetime subscription is reasonable for a well developed app without venture capital subsiding the cost.
Plexpass lifetime is $120.
Completely different services. What social media app has ever cost $80?
Plex is owned by venture capitol now.
It’s a big part of why it’s been enshitiffing.
yep, migrated to emby a couple months ago. although I did use plex for long enough to get value out of the lifetime plex pass.
any particular reason you chose emby over jellyfin?
no Apple TV app and smaller QOL things like bulk editing of files.
