Awesome idea that I totally just did!

Sorry, dumb question, what's GOG?
That's awesome. Also the lack of micro transactions makes me want to support them more. I kinda wish they had a donate button or something.
Personally, I disliked Sync for Reddit and did not use it. And, personally some of those quirks still bother me with Sync for Lemmy.
But...Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, etc. currently also don't work as well or are as customizable as I'd like. Liftoff is definitely the closest, though, and I still switch back to it after each update to see how it is progressing.
For now though, Sync ticks more of my hot button boxes despite its flaws than any other app I've tried (so far).
Super weird, still haven't seen an ad in Sync and don't use any sort of ad blockers or anything. Is it regional maybe?
Damn. World needs more of you. ❤️
...holy crap, same. This makes me uncomfortable.
$20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.
I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.
Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It's whatever.
Or for any major treatment or injuries you have to watch 6 ads first, if you bleed out before they're done, so be it.
Here in the US, there are a plethora of web dev jobs available once you hit the mid / senior level. I'd say on a high-level that about 80% of them offer pretty good work-life balance. Every web dev job or gig I've had in the last 7 years has been extremely flexible.
Happy to answer any other particular questions you have.
US here. Companies I work for use Teams, Zoom, Outlook, WebEx, RingCentral, GChat for comms.
Personally among friends and family, we use Signal.
Nobody I know uses WhatsApp or even has it installed.
I'm open to the idea.
