    What’s going on in this thread? Why did a mod remove a comment about Heliboard saying it’s off-topic and not open source?

      From one of the remaining comments that weren’t removed (yet):

      The app doesn’t fit the OSI open source definition since you cannot modify and redistribute it.

      Based on the README, I think this has to do with the Glide typing which comes from a closed source library

        But that’s an optional feature. Plenty of apps in this thread can interoperate with proprietary services. Seems weird to delete that one in particular.

        Edit: also that comment you quoted was about FUTO (which no one can see now that some of the thread was deleted)

          Ahh whoopee, my bad. it was hard to piece together the conversation from modlog. Thanks for clarifying, deleted my original comment. For other’s reading this, the gist of what i was wrong about is below:

          Originally I thought that the reason Heliboard comments were deleted were because of the use of closed source libraries for Glide swiping, but I was mistaken.
