This isn't my app, it just seems super cool as a way to pull together your own social media and news.

It looks great but man I hate subscriptions and $80 for a lifetime license is absurd.

I've been using Openvibe which is a similar app and haven't seen one add and doesn't have a subscription model. I understand development cost money but I agree with you.

Openvibe is backed by Automatic so zero chance it doesn't become shit. But you can just switch when it does, I suppose.

Just curios what do you mean by become shit? Adds and/or subscriptions or something else?

Sure, any number of ways they can claw value away from consumers.
