Amplosion: Redirect AMP Links on the App Store - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28678684 - Sept 2021 (142 comments)
No longer open source: https://github.com/christianselig/Amplosion
Questionable if it was ever really open source, more like "source available"
Most recent public fork I found is now mirrored here: https://github.com/3nprob/Amplosion
> Safari extensions require your permission to run, so in the interest of transparency I wanted to make the app completely open source.

This is the equivalent to the GitHub "No License", so you're more than welcome to inspect the code and audit it, but you do not have permission to repurpose it as your own.

Important to include that people were copying his code and reselling the same app under a different name for a lower price.

Seems GitHub garbage-collected the orphaned commits: https://github.com/christianselig/Amplosion/commit/08873c773...
I thought those lingered for longer.

He probably deleted the repo and recreated it. It's still available at https://github.com/mdpauley/Amplosion though. Based on the SHA1 hash, it's the same one as from the original repo https://web.archive.org/web/20210921004457/https://github.co..., minus some docs/readme commits.
It's still available on GitHub though as someone forked it before Christian removed everything.
Only because opportunists abused the open source to make a quick buck.
A shame we can't have nice things like that without lowlife “lamprey capitalists” ruining them for the rest of us.

Guilty of buying but worth every penny! I don’t think Google should be given enough liberty to track what I am reading and what deep links I am visiting.
I paid $10 for Apollo Ultra lifetime and feel guilty about it, so I was happy to make that $13 and get the cute little digital dog in the app settings for free. :)
Plus, there are still sites that present AMP pages.

Better than the cup of coffee I would’ve enjoyed with those $3 dollars, well worth it
I thought Google had killed the AMP project, I don't remember coming across an AMP page in a while
All Reddit Google searches are amp
I think all sites served in the discover news feed on the google app are AMP pages.
I use Firefox on Android, I never see them
