I would love to see a fork of Apollo for Lemmy, call it Artemis. 😀
Seriously. They've released the backend code, why not release the frontend too? Open-source is definitely viable, if the developer just lets the project rot, they'll get nothing from it, but if they just slap the GPL on it and work with the community on a fork, then they would end up leading a nice open-source project. I'd love to see Lemmy gaining a bunch of users too; that's definitely be nice.
How about we as a community create a repository and maintain it?
The developer would need to cooperate because the code that makes the actual app is currently closed-source.
If they release it under a FOSS license then the community can step in and help maintain the codebase.
