Just a hypothesis, but the core technology on the ISS is over 20 years old at this point, and I'm sure we have learned a lot ways in which we can improve upon the basic design and systems. There are standards used in the ISS design that any incremental update (think replacing one module at a time) would have to be backwards compatible with as it transitions, thus limiting any major overhauls. I imagine it would be more cost effective and allow for more improvements to just start from scratch using everything we've learned and create new standards

Yeah but subreddits can quickly and easily stray from their intended purpose and as soon as a post hits r/all and you get an influx of the average reddit user, you can bet it'll be a full time job moderating it to keep it from turning into r/orphancrushingmachine like r/upliftingnews. I can completely understand wanting to have a curated website separate from Reddit

Honestly you could go for an optional subscription of some sort and make it dirt cheap like $3/month. I know many people (like myself) want to support this but would rather do it monthly, and if you offer it in the app non-intrusively with just a single reminder then you'd probably get the exposure to make those $3/month subscriptions add up. Maybe add a couple perks that wouldn't seem unfair like dark mode or priority when submitting articles or something. Giving attribution to who submitted the article would probably also boost submissions if you go that route.

Also I'm a software developer and would love to volunteer my free time to bring it to Android or implement features if you need more assistance. It's a great idea that I can get behind. Just give me a DM if you're interested

It's always healthy to be suspicious, but some people just like to do good things. And it looks like OP is doing just that. It'd be hard to lie about trackers and ads when there are so many tools to find them. Someone already found a tracker OP missed and he acknowledged he missed it and that it will be removed.
