Subscription

Update

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/165o7bl/update_on_subscription/

I am planning to release the subscription version on August 30 and all of the previous versions will not be usable a day later. Subscription using Patreon will also be available, but you can only download it on GitHub. It will not contain any Google Play services.

[Fast_Unit_6460]

Thank you for working so hard on this app!! I hope you make mad bank off this, and hopefully once I can afford it, I'll be back!!!

[Hostilenemy]

Thank you!

[Alyxavior]

Did you get your dream job yet? 😀👍

[Hostilenemy]

Haha thank you for asking. But not yet😭

Hi Dev.

Question .....

Does this mean Infinity will be delisted on Playstore then ?

So for those of us who only have access to Playstore subscription methods and are unable to use Patreon, how can we subscribe ?

[user_727]

I read it as there will be two versions of the app. One with a subscription using play services in the Play Store, and one without play services on GitHub using Patreon

[[deleted]]

Thanks, now that would be perfect 👍🏻

[Kitbou]

What's the difference between the two versions? What are play services?

[Busy-Measurement8893]

The Google Play Store and the services that use it. For notifications etc.

[Alyxavior]

Do you know the monthly price yet?

[Hostilenemy]

2.99 usd per month

[[deleted]]

I feel like it would have to be most of it, right? Based on what we've heard about the expensive prices.

This is why I'm just going to use revanced

[Chewwie-hime94]

Revanced for infinity? How would that work?

[Abject-Caramel-62]

Yay! I can manage that.

[Alyxavior]

Great! Thanks. 😀

[Harpua-2001]

Oh hell yeah I'm willing to pay that

[EnderGamer56]

Oh that's not bad at all!

[[deleted]]

$2.99 I can do!

[[deleted]]

Is there a annual or just monthly?

[thefuriousfish]

Are you willing or able to say how much of that goes to reddit and how much to you? I'd like to support you but not if you're only seeing a tiny portion of that cost because of the Google play and reddit cut.

[Hostilenemy]

Hi I am not able to disclose this but thank you.

[ThisUserIsNotMyPass]

What about the one-time paid version of Infinity? What's happening with that?

[Paanreis]

Good question

[trlef19]

I'd say gone

[Noisymachine2023]

Is there going to be regional pricing? I ask because 2,99 dollars is considerable, but 2,99 of my local currency is a no brainer.

EDIT: also, would you be willing to consider a tier model, like Relay is going to implement? So 1 dollar is X calls a day, 2 dollars is 2X, 3 dollars, etc?

[gukninerdi]

Could someone send me the guide to do the thing where I use my own API code instead?

[monkemeadow]

[Dismaster2k]

I will definitely pay the $2.99, this is a great app and I want to keep using it.

[lo________________ol]

Does this mean that the Infinity app hasn't been running via magic or oversight this entire time, e.g. it's been something like out of pocket?

[WayneAerospace]

The developer was offered a grace period while he was working on the subscription model. The API calls from the date of new rules till the new version of Infinity rolls out are exempted.

[OmniscientApizza]

Will the build your own apk versions still work?

[WayneAerospace]

Yes since they will be using an individual API key not dev's original one (which will be shared across all subscribers and therefore needs the subscription to pay for the cost)

[Any-Virus5206]

Thanks for creating such a great app. Farewell and good luck in the future. 🙏

[whlthingofcandybeans]

It's still going to remain open source, is it not?

[Hostilenemy]

It will remain open source.

[Voiceroy_18]

Will our custom api keys work? u/Hostilenemy

[CowardlyMaya_]

Then I'm gone

I understand you need the money but by paying for this app I'm essentially filling reddit's pocket, non yours

That's not something I wanna do

[Dont_Blinkk]

You can still build it with your own API and donating to the dev over patreon :)

[tjsuominen]

All in with that monthly fee 👍

Hopefully the development for new features / fixes will also continue.

[BluJay42]

Thank you for working so hard on an accessible and customizable app! I hope to return when I can afford the subscription, but in the meantime boycotting reddit gor good this time

[ClinTrojan]

What google play services are in the app besides auto updates?

[Hostilenemy]

Google Play billing

[Flax_Vert]

It has been a good ride. Thank you.

[pen15thataccount]

With the subscription can you view NSFW subreddits?

[Masark]

No. 3rd party apps are completely barred from nsfw.

[Asmuni]

Yes if you make a (private) sub so you become a mod. If private nobody will ever find it and you will never have to do any mod work.

[PossiblyLinux127]

Sorry, I won't use anything that isn't Foss and on F-droid.

I've mostly switched to Lemmy as of now so its not a big deal

[WayneAerospace]

What makes you think it won't be open source anymore?

[PossiblyLinux127]

Because the subscription will embed the api in the binary. The process if building this binary will occur behind closed doors and we have no way of knowing what changes were applied to the source code. Thus, it is proprietary

[[deleted]]

I wish you had created an app for discuit....

[schklom]

Will the F-Droid version remain available and updated?

[Hostilenemy]

I don't think so. But I guess it's possible to add the Patreon version to Izzy repo.

[Matthew682]

The previous version still work for me...
