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.
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.
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!
Second this
fr tho that app icon is gross lol. I really don't want a lil rat scurrying around on my home screen
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.
