This was exactly my (dumb, layman) view of things - great idea hobbled from the outset by the marriage of slow web apps with slower hardware.

For me it’s the bizarre inability to set a subreddit’s default view mode to be swipe. That extra button tap every time I’m on a picture heavy sub is a real chore. Boost can do it so why not Sync? 🤷

I too like fancy pencils. Mitsubishi’s range are my faves.

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!

Super appreciative to have Sync for Lemmy to use in the meantime, but it’s only increased my appetite for the real deal - Boost for life!

It’s like I’ve gone from using a promising alpha for a Reddit replacement to a near-finished product. I love it.

Personally, I wasn’t too worried by the pricing model of Sync, and I’m usually tight AF - I think post- the great 3rd party client purge of Reddit it’s clear to me just how much value they brought to my browsing experience, so I’m happy to support the developers.

I think people who say these apps already exist and it’s just a case of porting to the Lemmy APIs are massively underestimating the actual amount of work involved to do these apps justice on Lemmy. £20 or so to support the developer and gain an ad-free experience seems entirely fair to me!

Gonna get downvoted to crap for this, but what the hell - hi, it’s me, I’m that one guy who actually loves Windows a little more with every release. I’m continually surprised by the good stuff that’s baked into the OS now (e.g. Much better multi-monitor support) and how the real power users can do a whole load more besides with Powertoys (key remapping!) - It’s really encouraging to see that I need fewer and fewer specialist programs to get Windows to work just how I want.

I’m not wildly sold on AI being baked into the OS, but what the heck - Microsoft have earned their goodwill from me in recent years. I’ll play around with it with interest.
