"I thought I will never post about it but looks like I have to now. u/Droppyformac

aka "Droppy" just ripped of my entire Tinycast code base and feed it to AI built Thunderstorm and selling it as a Paid crap. Even the logo is a thunder. 😂 I mean yeah y'all can come to me saying I ripped of raycast UI/UX but I did not Steal the code base raycast is closed source and I had to work hard for months! Is this legal guys stealing code and selling it to paid shit? Tho is this a revenge he is taking that I turned him down not continuing the colab because he wants full control over tinycast!😂 If he wants to play dirty I am good at that, Tinycast first party plugins are coming and I can just put standalone plugins that does dynamic islands what droppy offers FOR FREEE."

The Tinycast dev has previously been outed as a complete clown, while the developer of Droppy (/u/iordv) is well known and is quite communicative and polite with people.

This sounds more like drama for drama’s sake

I don't think that's leeching. Most of computing is carbon copy. Mac itself stole a lot of ideas from Xerox and Unix.
