It is usable…
I used it a few times
I’ve seen insane and extremely stupid things requested as features at work. Stuff that you need parallel universes and different laws of physics to be able to make them make sense.
But I don’t think this is a bad idea.
A simple “not possible because of XY” or “needs X amount of time/cost” should clear all the impossible stuff very quickly.
Not that I believe anything will happen here, just pointing out that what people ask would not be a blocker if the whole thing is handled properly.

While i’m not quite as optimistic as you here - someone needs to do the job as well.

I like the idea, but a downside to these things is that you can get people to create applications all you want, but (nearly) all of those applications will require regular updates either to make it compatible with a newer Sailfish version, or to make it compatible with changes on the other end - I’m assuming the most requested applications would be third party clients for all sorts of services. And who’s going to pay for the work that goes into those updates? You’d need people to pay a subscription to individual developers, which I don’t really see happening on a large enough scale to make it worth any developer’s while.
You also risk that people who don’t know how to program but think “AI” does, will ‘create’ a lot of half-working applications to claim the money, and then never update because they don’t even know how.
It could be useful if you have a very concrete feature request or bugfix in mind, because those have a clear end goal - once the feature exists or the bug is fixed, the work is done.

It’s a Reddit-like software using ActivityPub.

Do we have a working Nextcloud client? I didn’t find one that works on the latest OS version, and the interface is available.
Yes we do. Ghostcloud, there’s separate app for nextcloud notes, called… well… nextcloud notes. My musikilo can play nextcloud music
Just make the og bounty demand a foss solution, simple really, tweaking an existing open solution should be a lot easier than the original implementation (even if the whole api changes you should be able to reuse existing logic etc). And sure, if it’s about an adversarial third party like whatsapp or whatever it will mean endless chase, but then ppl will just drop the bounty chasing and use the third party closed app eventually or just drop the sh*t. There’s a lot of: bbbbut what ifs even before any of these happened, reality is outstanding money one can claim is only about to bring more developers to the ecosystem (even if they are here just for money, still a good thing even if your foss senses are tingling, srsly how dare these guise not wanna work for free)
