He likes the process of working on greenfield ideas and gets bored once he ships the MVP, which is fine. What is not fine is that he makes a ton of hype around new projects, but after he gets tired of playing with it, he refuses to let go. It sucks the air out of the community for very little benefit.

I was hoping that the PixelFed kickstarter would force him to finally focus on the damn thing, but it seems he simply does not have the drive or interest to work at a steady pace in one single product.

The PixelFed kickstarter was actual money delivered to a bank account. I don't know how much more incentive one needs.

I will try hard not to speak ill of a fellow Canuck however.

Senior Laravel/PHP Dev here. I'm really tempted to fork Pixelfed and loops. I've interacted with him on and off for nearly 8 years, and I just wish he'd make decisions where he would FULLY complete feature development initiatives... instead, he squirrels off towards a new shiny object.
