Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

Youtube links default configuration is to open in the external app, but it still seems to try to load internally when clicking thumbnail or link in a comment (opens externally from main link though), and gets stuck on spinner (something to do with preroll ad in video?)

You've made my month!! If I spot any issues I shall report them :-)

Looks great. Suggest that the backup file have a unique name so it is not confused with the Boost for Reddit backup.

[–] 3migo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've been using Sync while waiting for Boost and I've come to really like the feature that allows you to upvote posts by slightly swiping left on the post. Would love to see that adopted by boost!

[–] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's great to have boost back!

[–] DasherPack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It works perfectly! Β‘Gracias, RubΓ©n!

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

[–] lucario_owo@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Awesome. Congrats!

I'm home πŸ₯² thanks so much, already launched the rocket

[–] cease70@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

I missed your app @rmayayo . My home screen just didn't look right without boost

[–] Blinky_katt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I really need a "hide read post" option 😺

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

[–] kayaven@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much RubΓ©n! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Great news!

[–] PhatInferno@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

[–] Alkaseltzer028@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface
