Evening all, This is a really tough post to write but following my post the other day I think the best course of action is to shut down Sync before the new API changes go live.

      I would think it is partly the hard deadline of api access being changed mixed with seeing other apps already announcing closing. I would think it is just a, “Well, will have to do it sometime and this is as good of a time as any.”

      Per speculation on my part though.

      @mrcory sounds in the right ballpark imo.

      I think them declaring this early also does a couple other things:

      • people seeing Apollo shutting down will have started messaging the devs of their own apps, so they’re making announcements to promptly address them
      • it will galvanise users around the upcoming blackout protest and potentially increase the number of participating users/subs
