That’s because the “+” button which allows you to post simply won’t show up. But what you won’t be able to do is make any of your own. The upshot is that, if you’re using Instagram on a PC or Mac, you’ll still be able to consume other people’s content. So, reserving the platform’s key functionalities for smartphones makes a great deal of sense. Quickly sharing photos and videos are best done using a device guaranteed to have a camera. But this only works if the app generates enough income to at least pay one developer.Unlike most other social media platforms, Instagram was meant to be a mobile experience from the very beginning. With PhotoDesk 5 I've already invested heavily in terms of time, and I really want to continue supporting the product, adding new features, making it better. In addition to that, I think that this model will generate enough income to allow me to continuously improve PhotoDesk with new features and bugfixes.
This means that you never paid for a software that becomes obsolete afterwards. Should Instagram ever close their service, your subscription will also be cancelled. However, it may be that they turn it off and PhotoDesk becomes useless.ĭue to these constraints, I think it is best to make PhotoDesk a subscription. If it stops, I'll try my best to get it back to working as fast as possible. This means that PhotoDesk 5 may stop working at any time due to outside influences (Instagram). Instagram can change or disable these services on short notice. PhotoDesk 5 uses a new, private, way to access the Instagram service / API. It was really, really frustrating, tearing me up from the inside. Building a full featured app like PhotoDesk in the spare time is unbelievable hard. I worked on it every evening after work, every weekend, every vacation, every public holiday. So I set out to write a new PhotoDesk in my spare time. However, I still wanted to make a better PhotoDesk because I believe my customers deserve something better. Thus I had to give up indie development and go back to a regular job in 2016.
The current version of PhotoDesk has long stopped paying the bills. The market has become so small that a one-time fee does not necessarily generate enough income to sustain a single developer (me). Developing quality macOS apps as a single developer is tricky.
