Think about it. If you’d given so much of yourself over to crafting and honing an app like Apollo over the years and all that happened, happened… would you not be a tad deflated and exasperated?

I don’t blame him. Let him cool off for about 5 years. He’ll see it as a tribute one day.

You’re right on all counts. It really is a tribute to Apollo’s design, and I hope he sees it that way someday.

While I’d be exasperated, I’d like to think that I’d also be mature enough to realize that Voyager simply does what I didn’t want to do. I’d like to think that I wouldn’t be pissy about it. I might be wrong, but I’d like to think it.

100% this

He was also the voice of the fight against the API changes, which I’m sure took a toll too. His reputation was dragged through the mud and wild accusations thrown his way. He probably wants nothing to do with app dev, let alone app dev for a Reddit clone.
