Did Christian mention anything about opensourcing the client?

IIRC, he open sourced the server backend.

Edit: apparently I do not recall correctly. I remember someone saying something about open source, and he posted something to github. I incorrectly linked the two. Thanks to those posted more accurate information below.

Server back end? What does that do? I thought Apollo would just take directly to Reddit's servers?

Iirc it was mostly about storing some user preferences and providing push notifications.
Reddit apparently has no async API for notifications, so 3rd party apps are forced to regular polling.
