Voyager constantly crashing
(lemmy.ml)
So, apparently for no reason, my Voyager app started crashing this morning whenever I touched any of the replies to my comments.
I tried with and without VPN, custom DNS, automatic DNS, Rethink enabled and disabled, and it just keeps crashing.
Yes, I cleared data, un-installed and reinstalled, and it is still happening.
Anyone else having this issue? I thought I'd ask here first before opening a bug report on Github.
Edit: Forgot to mention I'm on version 2.8.0 from Github.
Edit 2: Available version from F-Droid, 2.6.0, does not preset this issue.
Honestly, atleast you all know how to open issues on GitHub. The amount of times I see people try to report issues in Discord, either for other apps or my own, is kind of staggering, and when you tell them to open an issue in GitHub, the response is often “well I don’t know how to use GitHub, GitHub is complicated, why is everything on GitHub? Why can’t you just give us the app instead of requiring us to compile from source‽ wah wah wah wah wah wah wahhhhhh”
Most people come from "normie" apps. When they find themselves in an environment such as github, codeberg and the likes, they immediately think it's some magic mumbo jumbo that requires some advanced level of wizardry to understand.
I find it funny. I mean, I'm no developer, but one of my hobbies is going in the git repositories of some of the apps I use, look at the compares of the current version vs the previous one, and look up some of the code on the internet, and I can already tell what some things do (very little, since there are so many different programming languages and styles) which makes me respect developers more and more every time.
You guys are super heroes in my book.
GitHub itself is a remarkably simple tool, as it should be. Programmers should be solving problems, not fighting with the tools that are supposed to facilitate said problem-solving
