    Sure, but again - removing the app takes away 100% of the revenue. Keeping it as subscription only gets you some revenue. Some > none.

      The amount of people that subscribe would likely not pay for the ongoing maintenance costs unless he’s willing to work for shit pay. Every hour he puts into maintenance is an hour he didn’t put into maintenance the other version that actually pays well enough

          No program ever created has never needed any bug fixing or improvement. That’s the nature of software engineering.

            Sync for Reddit wasn’t just created yesterday. There comes a point where almost all software is stable and will run be fine without updates indefinitely. Established Reddit clients were at that point years ago.

                Just because it has doesn’t mean it needed to be.

                If I earned enough money from a product to be able to only work on it, I’d update it too - but that doesn’t mean it needs updates or maintenance.
