Not working on an app based on the widely used ZXing library. I saw something else like this recently and that one only had about 50% success. The images and concept are really cool but QR codes ultimately have to be function over form.

As soon as the site came back up I was looking for any of the changes, so I'm glad you posted. Stinks to have an unplanned outage but I'm looking forward to the planned one! I hope it goes well!

Agreed, I had largely the same usage behavior as you. Blocking dozens of meme communities managed to filter out most of the junk but substantive topics and discussions are still rare. While things seem to be decelerating lately, I'll be sticking around in the hope that over time the sort of thing we're looking for grows.

What does that make me?

I hit a wall on mobile.

Something like this should do well as long as one doesn't mind looking like an urban granny.

Lots of great ones here. The Witches came out in 1990, so I hope I can slip that in.

I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.

Yep. Primary chat protocol is still SMS. The general population hasn't latched on to WhatsApp or others like many countries have.

Because flaunting your smug and condescending sense of superiority using outdated technology will really get your point across to disaffected teens.

How about we let that mindset die with the boomer generation?

I don't know all the other apps listed here but I do know last I looked Nine was the only one that actually had Exchange ActiveSync support. ActiveSync is a licensed protocol so you won't find it supported in a free app, open source or not, not without some alternative monetization that compromises your privacy. Nine has no ads and doesn't run through their cloud. It also optionally isolates the security model to the app so remote wipe and other employer policies don't apply to your OS. I also didn't want the corporate address book integrated with my personal one, and it lets me keep that separate, too.
