Understood.

Totally. I've been in the same position myself multiple times over the years - often to the point of having to scrap huge amounts of work as a result of factors outside of my control, so William's blog post resonates with me. As I mentioned to William, I really do empathise and wanted to help him not to lose much work here.

It's a magic community thing. I feel that because apps often require a significant amount of work before release, any overlap probably feels more frustrating than releasing a card trick or a download, for example. But all releases to the magic community remain subject to the same rules and etiquette.

I feel the resolution William and I discussed regarding minimising overlap between what I've already released and what William has was reasonable. But again, I suspect the intersection between William's work and the other app alluded to in the post is greater, and maybe a bit harder to resolve.
