    1. Are you proud/happy/satisfied how Lemmy progresses and its current status?
    2. Does it make sense to spend your time to develop client apps when there are so many other already (including open source)
    3. What are your ambitions/goals/hopes for Lemmy in one year from now?
    4. What do you see as the biggest issue for Lemmy (as a platform) which must be addressed?

    Ps: thank you for your work!

      1. For sure! I’m just glad we can provide an alternative that some people enjoy and get some use out of, and to not feel like they’re just adding to a company’s market cap. Development has certainly picked up with this massive migration, and people have helped us find and fix so many security and performance issues that just two people would never have found before.
      2. The current official UIs (lemmy-ui and somewhat jerboa), have had a ton of developer contributions, and more people added as direct contributors besides me, and they’ve made those apps better than I ever could. So while I never want to be completely hands-off from those, its wonderful to have the help.
      3. A few I can think of: I hope that performance issues stabilize, that we can create a better onboarding site / improve join-lemmy.org , do lots of code maintenance, become financially stable and grow our little developer co-op into more than just us two, learn how to scale handling issues better, that we can add notifications / unified push, better sorting, and move the web-ui over to a more stable app in rust / leptos : lemmy-ui-leptos
      4. Currently, performance and security, so that we can focus on the above.

      Thanks!
