Just connect USB-C headphones, or use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle.

The audio jack isn't needed anymore. The only real downsides of USB-C are that you can't charge while listening, less wirelessly, and it's more wear and tear for the port, but that's unlikely to matter.

I don't expect it to bring change, but that wasn't a rant. Neither was the OP.

And, besides, a responsible developer wouldn't be on 'unpopularopinion' policing the language of the complaints made by their basic apps users either.

So I suppose we're going to remain at this expected impass indefinitely. Because...

I've been in customer service my whole adult life. Every product, whether service, or app, or device, will see mostly complaints as their primary feedback.

It is simply human nature for a person to not mention a thing that works well vs actually act or speak out in response to issues that they encounter.

A lot of the time the customer is going to be frustrated while doing that, and that will be reflected in their tone and language. And that should be expected, and thus allowed.

It is in the best interest of manufacturers and producers and service providers to look to those complaints intentionally for resources to improve their products or services. And to do so with the knowledge and acceptance that their customers are possibly pissed off, frustrated, drunk, speakers of another language, or, and this is the most important one, not professionals in the relevant field.

Are you a professional developer? If so maybe you know how to use GitHub, or even what it is. Not everyone downloading a social media app on Play is going to know any of that, nor should they have to learn about it to complain when they have an issue.

This is a small platform made of primarily open source tools as a service to humanity by mostly good meaning folk. Inclusivity is important. And that means being accepting and welcoming to the less tech savvy. And understanding of their frustration when they have tech issues.

So, if you or any dev or service provider or manufacturer of any sort wants to thrive, I suggest learning to listen more, and police your customers less. They don't tend to respond well to that, especially if they are already frustrated or disappointed because of something you are responsible for.

It's a topsy tervy world where a customer has to concern themselves with a business opinion of them rather than the other way around.

And even if the service provided is free, or just a pet project, it's still being produced and provided in a world where these things are true.

Regardless, I've migrated away from Blorp and will no longer be recommending it's use. I'm actually going to be recommending against it. And who knows, maybe I am somebody, maybe me recommending a app tends to lead to mass adoption? It's hard to tell.

I agree, Blorp sucks. I used it, and really wanted to love it. I thought it had great potential despite the issues I've had, and how definitely mid it is ATM. But thanks to you posted about it here, OP, and their subsequent comments, I now know that the developer doesn't deserve my support or recommendation, so thanks for that.

I'm now commenting from a different app.

Bye bye Blorp!

Yeah, stop with that BS and pretend you're a developer and not an emotionally immature grade school student.

In their complaint they mention specific issues, be an adult and identify those for yourself.

If they are problems you can resolve add them to your own to-do list, cause that's what responsible adults do, if they aren't problems you can solve then dismiss the complaint, cause they aren't relevant to you.

You aren't gonna come off like some rock star developer disregarding complaints about bugs in your software by getting defensive and specifically choosing to ignore an issue cause you don't like the person presenting it or the service they are using to do so.

Grow the fuck up!
