    by the screenshots it looks like I’ve done plenty

    Voyager is a copy of the Apollo UI. He’s entirely right when he says he’s already contributed significantly.

    I don’t blame him for being grumpy, but I also think it’s legit to clone a decent UI. As Voyager matures the UIs will diverge.

    Wow, pretty clear how he feels about it. But also he made plenty of money of Apollo and then just shut it down and refused to open source it. So I don’t feel particularly inclined to change my behavior here.

    Edit: All these people white knighting a dev that made millions off his app.

      Why would he have any obligation to open source a project he was shutting down? If he made the code open, that would be a kind and generous gesture. Not an expected and assumed action.
