The point of that is to allow risky projects the opportunity to succeed in comfortable financial circumstances.

Cases like this abuse the system to scam people while using the ToS to skirt legal implications. So it is fraud, just dressed up as a gambling.

That said, the outcome is the same: don’t waste your money on Kickstarter unless you’d be willing to use the same money at a blackjack table

That was one of the big 5 in my mind. I never did any BB dev, but I remember looking into it at the time. If I couldn’t get a device for cheap or free it was inaccessible. Student life is what it is. By the time I made my webOS money they were already on the decline and considering a move to android so I didn’t consider it thereon.

Just watched the Jay Bachurel movie recently and can recommend. It’s a bit slow but the nostalgia is top grade.

Nothing well known on WP, and I don’t want to give names as it’ll dox me given reviews are out there somewhere.

One was a different take on a Twitter app and another was a minimalist Instapaper app. I will say no more!

Unrelated fun story: I rewrote a plugin integration for a WP game from a fairly well known studio, 5 minutes before it was demoed live at GDC in SF, back around 2011 (±1 year). And it went off without a hitch! Good times

I developed one of the top ten apps in the webOS App Store. I released it about 6 months before they shuttered Palm and started the transition of webOS in to a vague “embedded and mobile things” open source OS that eventually ended up on, primarily, LG televisions.

It was my first big success as a computer science student. When I started working on my next big app idea it was about 80% complete when the new dropped that they were discontinuing all phones and tablets. Palm used to send me free phones and tablets too, and I spent a lot of time in the community forums, I had reviews on webOS Nation, and so on

I maintain to this day that enyo is one of the greatest app development frameworks ever written and I wonder what the landscape of web development would look like today if they’d moved faster to liberate it from mobile devices. The webOS team were also earlier adopters of nodeJS for their native services. It felt like living in the future using them at a time when the iPhone 4 was barely out.

If you can believe it, after that I moved over to Windows Phone, where history repeated without the afterlife. After that, I felt cursed but, honestly, I chose both platforms because the stores weren’t saturated with 100 versions of every app imaginable.

They were great times. Five big mobile platforms, free devices, open APIs to work with - it really was a digital gold rush.

I now have LG TVs in every room and it’s so strange to use webOS in it’s final(?) form. Wonderfully, there’s a homebrew community just as there was back in the day, albeit on a much smaller scale. I’ve even made a wrapper for some home assistant features.

webOS is dead. Long live webOS

“You need to understand that this is a hostage situation and you’re either on one side or the other. Also put your hands behind your back”.

Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.

And to be clear I’m all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I’ve seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.

Regardless, it’s sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet’s worst members.

Or has it gone not too far enough!?

there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll.

While I respect their decision I feel like these people will just move on to other instances to do the same thing.

I don’t know all the details but it smells a bit “tolerant of the intolerant” and that these people should have been shown the door before it got to the point of shutting down (other reasons aside - they’re all valid)
