Not trying to rush, just curious if you’re planning on releasing soon
From 3 days ago there was this:
The main development is finished. I want to publish it asap but I keep finding some bugs :( My plan is to upload a beta next week.
Thanks for your patience!
So it’s soon :) I’m using Connect, and if I move to Boost then I’ll probably leave a little tip for the Connect dev for their work so far
Good to know! I’m currently using jerboa and it’s so sensitive with scrolling
Afaik I’ve used ALL the lemmy apps on android. Connect is by far the best. It was kinda neck and neck with thunder and infinity for a bit, but the 1.0+ release implemented some amazing features, while still keeping the most functionality and managing to avoid the “scroll stuttering” that plagues other apps. Infinity (now eternity) is also good but account switching is more difficult and you can’t block instances or communities from theain page like you can on connect. Example fo why that’s lame - say you’re scrolling by all and theres a bunch of gay/furry/anytypeofpornyoudontwanttosee…on many apps you have to GO to that communities main page just to block it. On connect you just tap the three dots menu and pick which you want to do. Easy peasy.
You can block like this with a long press in Thunder! There’s been a pause in nightly releases but a lot of good updates coming for it in the near future :) feature and performance wise!
How is Voyager not in your top 3? I know there are a lot of good apps and I’ve also tried “all” but for me Infinity and Eternity just had annoying bugs where the UI froze in wierd positions.
Im using sync for now
I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect, and Sync, Connect is the one I like the most, Sync is also good, but just not as nice to use.
The strength with Sync is that you can customize it to be exactly how you want it so it’s different for most everyone who uses it.
True, but Connect is set up pretty much right without changing much at all.
Counterpoint: the swipe viewing mode (great for picture-heavy communities), which can be set as a default viewing mode for subreddits in Boost, is treated as a weird ginger stepchild in Sync and you have to manually select it every time. It also ignores options like ‘don’t start videos with sound’ for Reasons as well. Very irritating and odd.
I’ve tried a handful of the Android apps and so far the most comfortable one for me is Liftoff. But I loved Boost for Reddit, so I’m very much looking forward to trying the Lemmy version.
Jerboa is so bad and barebones that I can not wait to get on Boost.
T minus how much time to a Beta? Aaaarghhhhh!!! <3
