I know you’ve got something in the works so I’m interested to see more, but I would have said this is why you use open source as a selection criteria for the apps you use. If they go in a bad direction, *you* or *someone else* in the community of users that also likes the app will fork it if the developers go in a direction that is bad. And it’s why we should select apps/clients that do things in an interoperable way so the switching cost stays low. But I don’t think other recourse exists.
The logical end of this path is "custom app per creator", which is roughly what I'm exploring now.
That sounds like a good idea.
I'm repeating myself but 👉 "Custom app per Community" 😉
Communities can be around any interest (including one specific creator).
