So about the #Mona app. Given that version 7 is going to be a massive app rewrite and refactoring, I have many issues. The first is the paying. This app is a huge rewrite. All that time and effort? That deserves money. Where I put my foot down is you making a whole new app to get around all of the people, including me, that paid for lifetime subscription. That seems wildly underhanded to me. And you’re releasing it as a new app? Rather than a app upgrade? To make sure that we’re kind of forced to pay for the new app? Hard no from me. I read every single reply in that thread. There is a test flight link. Even though it is in beta, it is relying way too heavily on LLM’s for me to want to try it. I read in the thread that choosing a post language is no longer an option, and that the app relies on an LLM to guess what that language is. Even in a beta, that clearly signals what you started developing direction wise and I’m just not interested. I keep thinking about the question I asked the developer long before Mastodon had it’s moment. The developer told me no Mastodon app would be made. Fine. But this looks like cash cow development to fund whatever LLM you stuck in the app. I’m not happy. The accessibility of the app is unmatched, especially for VoiceOver users, but I fund honest, even agressive, donation requests. I will happily pay a subscription to support development but not like this. Is there another app with as much care and VoiceOver love? #Fediverse #Mastodon #Accessibility #A11y
