Narwhal released v2 of their app today to the general public. As a loyal narwhal user before I moved to lemmy, I still had the app on my phone so I checked it out.

The app now shows your api usage so you know how much you’ll need to pay based on your average browsing habits. It’s making users uncomfortable because they can’t browse carefree knowing the counter goes up every time they do something in the app.

Such a shame because the new app version is beautiful, but look at what reddit is forcing app devs to do just so their app can live on.

This is kinda wild. If “basically any action you take” is really real, I bet I had an average of 100 api calls per day. The only way I’d take less than 20 actions/day is if I used it for <30 minutes/day.

Leave it to a platform run by a twat to suppress engagement from the people that actually create content. Why waste precious API calls upvoting/downvoting/commenting when those are better used for loading new content?
