    Regardless, widespread burnout

    If I were a dev, that would be the number one reason I would not publish any app I created. The constant demands from users, the constant integrations, et al, nah…pass. I am grateful for who do, but that’s just not my bag.

      One could also not feel obligated to address all requests and just let anyone fork the project.

      Isn’t it a bit about the ego to keep running the project while it’s too much to handle?

        Didn’t downvote ya but, yeah I guess I could do that if I were a dev. Also, I would personally feel responsible for someone’s loss or havoc caused my my app.

          Also, I would personally feel responsible for someone’s loss or havoc caused my my app.

          Which is one of the reasons I’ll never implement the delete function in the Jellyfin for Roku client.
