I was going more for the meme then for insulting, sorry. The main problem is the API is very different between the platforms, for what I've seen I don't think this is a trivial task. Also there is a lot more to deal with than when he was developing for reddit, his app account for federation problem/features that aren't implemented in any other app yet.
Me personally still prefer Jerboa, but I think the Sync dev deserve credit for his work, and how much he thinks he should charge is subjective.
As long as this money isn't going to a big corp this is fine. Also he brought many to the fediverse with his action.
When I say it's a lot less work than making an app from scratch I'm mainly thinking about the UI/UX design which only had to be adjusted in Sync's case. I do lots of UI design for private projects and work, so I know that it's a big part of the workload.
What do you mean? I'm no Sync expert but I did test out the app and didn't notice any special features. I'm especially interested in instance related tech since that's kinda the USP of my own App, Nemmy.
