Connections Puzzle #799 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩
1·2 hours agoIt’s a variation on sudoku.
- The grid sizes vary (can be 7x7, 8x8, 9x9)
- The rows and columns are subdivided. Each subdivision starts again from 1, so you can have the number 1 repeatedly in a single row or column.

Oh no! Try this link, it opens my puzzle from yesterday
Some relevant comments from the developer on another forum from about a year ago, when they only had 10 apps:
Developer of Accrescent here. Yes, there are only a handful of apps available right now. The reason for this is that the recent focus hasn’t been directed on getting more apps in the store, but instead on internal changes to allow Accrescent to include more features and scale to more users. It will be able to include more apps once more of those changes are implemented.
Yes, we may take on some additional apps over time. This depends on how much the project can handle maintenance-wise and how willing those app developers are to deal with the early and changing nature of Accrescent. We’re not directly reaching out to any developers at this time, however.
So apparently it’s been a deliberate choice so far.
My understanding is that the whole point to trying to hire a full time developer is to be able to finally scale their services.
Yes, that is a weakness with many FOSS projects. Developers with great ideas lacking business acumen.
That said, I expect that they can become financially self-sustaining from selling proprietary apps if they can get enough scale. I wouldn’t mind making a small monthly donation long-term but it needs to be less than what they are currently asking.
Here is a link to F-Droid’s Open Collective page. If this is accurate, they seem to be doing OK for funding right now. I’m sure they’d appreciate another sponsor though, if you’re not already donating.
Last I heard, the intention is that users will be able to filter for open-source apps if they want.
I haven’t seen anything warning against proprietary apps specifically. As a minimum, I would hope that they implement an agreement similar to the play store where the app developers are legally bound by the privacy terms in the app description (re data, advertising, etc.). This statement could maybe include an alternative wording for OS vs Proprietary apps? Definitely something to think about.
Edit to add: I can’t comment on 3rd party repositories. Too technical for me.

That’s an absolutely valid choice.
It’s not however the choice that the majority of people make. Weaning them off the play store needs an alternative with proprietary apps.

Shellac? This is the stuff for my nails. hmmm.
Yes. I assume that’s partly what this is about.
To date the majority of the coding has been done by one person after work. Their infrastructure was also too slow.
They released a progress update and roadmap a few days ago. They’ve already implemented some infrastructure upgrades and are prioritising back-end updates. Presumably this will make the store more attractive for app developers.
The funding push is to make it possible to have a developer working on the project fulltime.
Edit: a word
2nd edit to add: I found this thread from about a year ago, when they only had 10 apps. Relevant quotes from the developer:
