Someone asked if I still plan on open sourcing the @pixelfed mobile app when it reaches v1.0

The answer is still yes!

The code base is evolving at a rapid pace and is over 35K LoC already.

I look forward to the v1.0 release 😁 #pixelfedApp

@pixelfed @dansup may I ask why you chose to only open source it once it reaches 1.0? Why not now?

@kite @pixelfed I'm more productive when I can focus all my time on coding, the rapid changes could make it hard for people to keep up and I didn't want to deal with support requests for people trying to build the app without xcode or android studio installed

@dansup @kite @pixelfed makes sense. I don't see a problem with this considering its going to be OSS anyway, presumably with its git history too.

@imadnyc @kite @pixelfed The git commit messages aren't that useful though haha

Sometimes I worry that all of my "Fix previous commit mistakes AGAIN" commits will come.back to haunt me so its nice to see others are less diligent with their commit names as well.

@dansup @imadnyc @kite @pixelfed You can maybe keep an archive git repo with all these commits as is, and then another repo for the actual app. Both problems solved

@dansup @kite @pixelfed Unrelated, but do you have plans to make a native linux client? I would offer myself but I dont think I'm there with my skills yet

@imadnyc @kite @pixelfed I was thinking of that using the new NativePHP project, I think its just an electron wrapper though

@dansup @kite @pixelfed looks good, tho I'm not gonna pretend like I know a lot about how it works. I dont think its worth making right now and splintering efforts on it right now, though; I'd rather see more features on pixelfed. The stories feature is like exactly what I've been looking for, since I can't be posting garbage on my actual profile

It's great to hear you plan to publish the app source code under a Free license. I had been contemplating asking but didn't want to complain about gratis code. When you do, it would be great if the Android version builds without including proprietary components, so that it can be included in f-droid. Specifically that means no Google Play libs. People often use a build flavor if they want their standard binary to have non-Free components.
