Hi, I'm the author of the blog post. I didn't have any concerns about it doing things I didn't intend, because I was careful to review the diffs every time it made a change. There's a lot of hype about no-code AI app generators, and while that may work well some day, for now, I believe that these tools are most useful for maximizing the output of an experienced engineer who can understand the code being written by the model.

Specto is building a cloud-based mobile performance monitoring platform to power the next generation of performant mobile app experiences. We're hiring a senior Android engineer to lead the development of our Android SDK. You will be responsible for building state of the art technology for collecting and analyzing Android performance data from real user devices in production, and working with our most important customers to help them get the most out of the platform.

We're aware of performance issues with larger buddy lists (which tends to happen when Facebook accounts are connected) and an update will be submitted to the MAS soon that fixes this.

We claimed that Flamingo supports backward compatible file transfer with Messages and Adium users, not that we supported Apple accounts.

We mass converted the PNGs to improve loading time and forgot about the text images. Those have been fixed now.

Hi there, I'm the developer of Flamingo. This is something that I considered during the development process but with the Mac App Store, sandboxing, and the overall difficulty of designing a good plugin API, this didn't make the cut for 1.0. Once things stabilize a bit I'll have more time to experiment with things like this. It's only 1.0 :)

We're gauging the demand for a trial version at the moment and may decide to offer one if we find that many users are surprised by things not working as expected after purchasing the app (e.g. certain accounts not working, things that were unclear in the marketing, etc.)

I'm the developer of Flamingo. There's understandably a lot of opinions on how exactly this should work, but we believe we made the best decision in removing something that most people rarely use to realize our vision for what a modern instant messaging client should be like. It's an opinionated decision, and we realize that many will not agree with it.
