If it is closed source, I don't trust it. It would need to be permissively licensed if it ends up in the Apple Store. I would recommend Apache-2.0 for a permissive license.

Sometimes I think I'm not even good enough to have impostor syndrome.

Or you're trudging uphill and will eventually plummet to your death.

I forget where I read this, but something like 15-30% of reddit users third-party apps. 19% dip sounds like some of that group continued using Reddit while a majority either stopped or found Lemmy/Kbin.

I would recommend making a full git repository and at least adding a license header so that others can expand upon it. Maintaining a useful gist is cumbersome as issues tend to be ignored comments.

Will this be open source?

There are alternatives that provide more privacy. FSF India made an excellent visual chart comparing messaging applications. Signal stopped publishing their back end so they moved from the third bucket to the second bucket. The fourth and fifth categories are good.

Manjaro had a rough history of not taking security seriously. I hope they have improved, but the impression stuck.

They have done a few things right by making Arch more approachable when Arch was more of a RTFM type distribution. Now Arch is easier and even ships with an installer, but Manjaro's installer is easy.

The end result is still that the user still needs to manage an Arch distro. I would recommend learning the Arch way from Arch instead of taking the easy road.

If you want an easy distro, rolling releases, and up-to-date packages, I would recommend Debian Did over Manjaro. If you want Arch, use Arch.
