Eternity may be falling behind, but I think it worthwhile to show our thanks ❤️ (slrpnk.net)

I have noticed some posts here lamenting Eternity falling behind in development, the last substantial release 5 months old.

However, the last post by the developer was last month, so I do not believe it has been abandoned, I think they just got busy with other things, and will hopefully return someday when they have the time.

But I think it appropriate to emphasize that Eternity is open-source software, given to us for free and out of good will of the developer, Bazsalanszky. I think now would be a good time to show him our appreciation for the work he did in gifting us with one of the finest apps on the lemmyverse, and to return his goodwill.

If you have the means, the developer has a librapay account where you can donate a small sum of your choosing. As a point of comparison, Boost for Lemmy (a closed source app with trackers) charges $3.99 to remove ads (Eternity has never had ads).

If you don't have the means to donate, I'm sure Bazsalanszky would appreciate a kind message instead. :)

I agree with everything you said and i think boost is 20$ not 4$ . .EDIT : I am dumb and thought about sync

I made sure to check before making the post.

But that may be a bad point of comparison, since Boost is supported by ads, so they can afford to make the premium version cheap. Whereas Eternity has always been ad-free, yet doesn't seem to have received all that many donations. :(
