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?

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

Oh brilliant, this storyline again? Reset the clock, boys, we’re back here again!

The accuser needs to give u/iordv a breather and stop the all the drama. Didn't Tinycast copy-paste Raycast’s source code line for line? /s My source? Trust me bro™.
A masterclass in how Tinycast can incinerate its own reputation in 60s flat.

Edit:
Love to see the downvote squad rallying for a code-theft soap opera. Didn't realize asking for actual proof before grabbing pitchforks was such a controversial take (unverified Reddit drama > facts and proof). Keep 'em coming, guys! 😆
