Hey The Dev, this is just a one off, random non technical user’s ( I know what <br> does and thats it) question thar are you still advancing (developing has such a Heavy Tone in it) your app? I mean, I LOVE it for the heavens, particularily on the user interface, but its kind of lagging behind of abilities of other Lemmy apps.
Also the big concern is general security as time flies by.
So as a very satisfied but also a little concerned user: whats upp? Is the app still in development, even slow burn?
Edit: I’m a wee bit drunk and not an english speaker, okay, I edited some typo’s.
Is nobody using Sync for Lemmy?
Sync is kind of in the same situation but there is at least confirmation of an update coming with 0.19
Sync has been in this situation since 2013, but ljdawson always brings the complete API standard featureset under the latest UI design guideline.
I can’t recall how many iterations Sync for Reddit went through in its lifecycle.
Oh I’m a longterm fan too. I’m just saying if a couple months without updates bothers you it’s not the app for you.
Boost and Connect are good alternatives.
The last thing we ever heard from the developer was that he just became a father. I just assume taking care of a kid is insanely time consuming.
Finally had to leave liftoff today. The lack of updates and primarily the inability to block instances made me move to connect. I really liked liftoff. It was very close to Reddit is fun good.
Reddit Is Fun users may be interested to hear that the dev created an app for Tildes instead of Lemmy. It’s pretty good, though be warned that it’s not trying to clone RiF.
Looks like it’s dead, no commits after August. You might need to switch to another app soon, thunder and jerboa are some good looking apps.
Someone was asking the same question here and they were told that 3 months of halt don’t mean the project is dead, at least 6 months have to pass… sincerely I don’t know where they got the 6-month-rule from, but let’s just wait and see.
