Heads up @dansup@lemmy.world the creator of these apps refuses to open source the projects stating (Loops):
Anyone who's followed any project of any kind knows that this is just a formal way of saying they just won't do it.
Not only is it not truly OSS, but he's a bit of dick. Like weirdly so. Banning people for reverse engineering the API, creating a poll on whether or not ads should be introduced (only to 180 on the matter claiming the poll was a joke but also emphasizing that the poll was in favor of ads)
On the plus side he dislikes Trump, so there's that I guess.
In any case I highly recommend people read this comment and the sources linked:
