Comment on The Future of Accrescent App store: "in 3 months, we will no longer have enough resources to continue ongoing feature development without additional funding"

It’s a four-year-old app store that’s still beta with best I can tell 33 apps on it.

I’m kind of impressed you’ve managed to get the amount of donations you have.

They never reached beta. “Currently in alpha.”

Yeah this. You’re telling me this isn’t just an OSS project by some mel in their basement?

  I have no qualms with them being a small project. We all started somewhere. I also don’t have any qualms with their mission to make a secure app store.
  
  It just doesn’t matter if they’re more secure than Aurora or F-droid, if there’s not more than one app on there, I’d consider running. And getting funding without usage seems to be a long-term fool’s errand.
  
  They need to become the default app store on something, and to do that they’ll likely need to get a lot more apps on there.
  
  They could probably take some of that funding and, by their way into places.
