Edit 1: After I made this post I looked for the app everywhere, turns out the developer removed it from Fdroid and Google Play Store and even deleted the community.
I guess the client is done.

While I respect the decision the dude made, anyone should always be able to back out of an open source project, I also absolutely do not understand the reasoning.
The markdown challenge was in no way a ranking of how good or bad Lemmy apps are. It just said, “hey look, this type of formatting isn’t shown correctly in some apps”.
How did the dev even deal with other bug reports? If other stuff didn’t work correctly, how was that then not a “bad reputation” for him? I am totally confused by this.
from de goodbye post by the dev of Raccoon for Lemmy:
App was being judged for the 3rd party library that was implemented
Your question:
Very well, it was faster than The Concorde, everyone that ever contacted him can confirm that right away
The last part is the most sad part, I felt he really loved working on it. It must have felt like cutting off an arm for him to let it go.
I can confirm that it felt more or less like that 😓
