I just downloaded and have been loving this. It loads pretty quickly, navigation is intuitive, and I'll finally stop forgetting that Nebula exists because it'll all be in my one big subscription feed.

Since I'm new to moving over to open source, I want to ask the veterans: is this as incredible as it seems right now, or is there something I'm missing?

    Ok but if Google is not willing to support this effort, like I asked what's your solution besides just letting it happen? Because that's not gonna spark confidence for mass adoption to move away from these bloated ad and tracker filled mainstream apps. You need to have steps for progress and this allows more control when those who are publishing said knock off applications in their store will not.

      You're never going to completely stop all malicious forks. Perfect is the enemy of progress, as you say. Even with the license they have, there will be malicious forks and there will be windows of time where people will be taken advantage of.

      Someone who advocated for the right to repair shouldn't be against the right to repair software just because it's not elegant or less friendly to everyone.
