Thank you! I do have to remind people that jerboa is still very much alpha-level software... something I worked on in my off-time when not working on lemmy.
I'm super excited tho for it now, because it has a lot more skilled contributors, who actually know how to do android development.
Jerboa alone has made the transition from Boost on Reddit to Lemmy and the fediverse incredibly easy.
I agree, it looks and feels very nice and clean. Of course there's still some small bugs, but it'll only get better with time.
Big thank you to all the hard work and the neck break development pace lately!!
I straight up would not be on Lemmy today if not for the jerboa app. literally my only gripe with it is I think the icon for it is ugly af, but that's just opinion and everything else about the app is great!
but its cute!!!
Second this
fr tho that app icon is gross lol. I really don't want a lil rat scurrying around on my home screen
Good job devs, your work is appreciated!!
Hear hear! The Jerboa app has been great, and @dessalines@lemmy.ml (hope I did that right) has worked hard on it for sure! Some of the posts about bugs and/or feature suggestions have been downright rude imho, so it's nice see them get their flowers, they deserve it! It's nice to see so many new app projects popping up too of course, but so far Jerboa has done great by me, and like others have mentioned, has really eased my transition from RIF. My thumb already instinctively taps on Jerboa now instead of RIF, LOL.
Thanks! One of the best compliments on it I've gotten!
yeah it's always the people who contribute the least to free software who expects the most.
It can be very grating when people demand that you do free labor for them, while refusing to do it themselves. Open source can feel like a group project, where one person just makes demands on everyone else without helping out.
Was my first choice, but the app would not stay open. Installed fresh on Note 10+ and it would not actually start open long enough to acknowledge the first screen of notes before crashing.
I'll keep an eye on it, but makes me sad ๐ข.
Did you open an issue on github ? If not please do with all of the details of your device such as make and model, android version , version of the app and steps to reproduce and logs if you have them.
There are most likely others who have the same issue so the sooner its reported the sooner it can be fixed. It might be a while bit at least there is a place to start with steps to reproduce the issue.
Jerboa's been great for me. Sure it's kinda glitchy, but they've already made huge improvements in just a couple weeks. Awesome work devs, now... get back to it! ๐
Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.
