  • Of course the metal can support a person. It’s not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.

    The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.

    I’m quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can’t judge from a picture.

  • While I agree that the price is a bit steep, there’s also the fact that the userbase for Lemmy is much smaller than what it was for Reddit. To make a reasonable amount of money (in the dev’s opinion), they need a higher price to compensate for the lower sales. Of course, that higher price may discourage people from laying for it at all, causing their income to be too low.

    I’m still using Jerboa myself, but checking out alternatives as well. I still don’t know whether Sync is worth it for me at this price.
