Never before have I been so excited for a beta app. Thank you Ljdawson!

I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.

Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours

Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?

I'm pretty sure analytics is optional even if you didn't pay a dime but feel free to correct me on that

[โ€“] Razp@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know. That's why I was asking lj

<3 can tell you did some on the backend.. smoother than reddit's client

Wow you work fast.

Loving it, keep up the good work.

That's great to hear!

Excellent, I'm looking forward to this!

But lemmy does not have ads. I'm confused

[โ€“] daFRAKKINpope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy doesn't. The app might. I don't use sync but if I'm an app developer I could make money plugging advertisements into my app. If I design the UI well enough, and make the ads unobtrusive, I might just make enough money and not piss anyone off.

Agree. That's a no from me. I'd pay if I like it, but injecting ads into the feed and I'm out. Just trying liftoff now. Seems solid.
