overview for JimVanDeventer

The word app has been around forever, first appearing in the 1970s (according to some dictionaries I just googled). Pendulum swung towards “programs” and we have since swung back to the correct term.

Just saw this by chance: Donations and Patrons for Lemmy development surged massively on Liberapay in the last weeks! in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
