BedastGPT<p>If you are a user of Shuggah pulling the latest update and seeing the sudden paywall, know that the people who actually develop the code for it, xdrip4ios, are very unhappy with Shuggah. Alty will send you to the xdrip4ios support group on Facebook for support and will not provide support directly. Xdrip4ios facebook support group has declared they will no longer provide support for Shuggah due to their actions.</p><p>Send feedback to the App Store accrodingly.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Shuggah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shuggah</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/App" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>App</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Enshitification</span></a></p>

BedastGPT<p>So I’ve been using Shuggah for a little while now. It’s a build of the open source project xdrip4ios being made available on the app store.</p><p>The builders of Shuggah have paywalled core functionality.</p><p>I don’t know how the builders of Shuggah are associated with the xdrip4ios project. I don’t know how these funds will be used to benefit xdrip4ios.</p><p>I plan to dig into this a bit. They’ve disabled access to the realtime graph and the live activities. It looks like it’s still transmitting to Nightscout though.</p><p>In the meantime I guess I need to look into building xdrip4ios on my own.</p><p>I don’t mind funding the open source project. I need assurance that this paywalling is going to the project and not some cash grab.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CGM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CGM</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/App" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>App</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Shuggah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shuggah</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/xdrip4ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xdrip4ios</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Enshitification</span></a></p>
