Isn't it going to be a separate app for Lemmy?
Yes. I think the point he is making is to help support the effort financially and show the developer people want this.
I think, he and many users are buying it before it gets taken down in a couple of weeks as a token of appreciation. I'm pretty sure they're aware that it's basically a donation.
Why buy a project that is going to get abandoned and get a cut to Google? Wouldn't a direct donation and then buying the new app make more sense? Am I missing something?
You're definitely missing something. Theres no announcement that Sync Ultra is being abandoned (presumably, as a subscription service, its brought along to the new app) & there doesn't appear to be any other way to directly donate to LJ (i've asked)
Worst case scenario in which it doesn't port over, I spent $30 on app that i've used daily without a subscription for over a decade. Good spend imo
You could sponsor him on patreon instead, it might even come with a few non-reddit perks: https://www.patreon.com/syncforreddit
Sharing this news with all my friends! :D
