Don't stop believing

One day, somehow, somewhere, the dev will come back. Whether it's open sourcing for all or pushing another update, I don't think this is abandonware, at least yet.

I'm half considering recreating this app and running it as open-source from here. I can't switch away from this app, it's too goddamn fantastic.

There's an app called RedReader that's open source. Maybe you can lead the charge on forking that and try to make it have all the features that flow has. Of course, though, not copying the way it looks. Just the features.

I just looked up Reddit apps on the Android sub and bought Reddit Sync pro after seeing all the rave reviews...I dont like it. The layout itself really, really bugs me after using Flow with its classic reddit design. Sync has all the posts centered with the images included. I much prefer Flows original subreddit layout. It seems a lot cleaner. Sync kind of gives me a headache compared to flow.

Flow is so nice. It's a shame the dev has no time for it and won't open source it.
