Summit - A Lemmy reader

Vitaly, 10 months ago

Nice app but this icon will make your app 100% better

Shows promise. Two recommendations:

Use or have an option for Android 12's "Material You" colour scheme

Open source it

Domriso, 10 months ago

I really like it. It's fast and feels nice to use, with a tighter interface. I'll be looking forward to it getting more features.

russjr08, 10 months ago

Major props to you! This feels really slick so far, and I'll definitely be excited to see where Summit and all of the other upcoming Lemmy apps go!

AnAverageSnoot, 10 months ago

This is great! Thank you for sharing :)

TechnoBabble, 10 months ago

Getting some RiF vibes, and that's such a refreshing feeling in a era of bloated corporate apps.

I like it a lot so far.

burgersc12, 10 months ago

Downloading. Looks very good but features are a bit lacking from what i can tell (no comment/post history?) and saved posts are a wip. Keep up the good work, excited to see updates in the future

idunnololz, 10 months ago

tl;dr is everything is WIP. At the moment no feature is “off limits”. I’m just trying to crank out as much as I can as fast as I can. I’ll make a post about the current priority list on lemmy.world/c/summit later today.

Do you have a public git for this?

Freesoftwareenjoyer, 10 months ago

The author said in another comment that it will be proprietary.

Dups, 10 months ago

Aw 😥 I would have liked to contribute to it.

firipu, 10 months ago

Nice app. Feels a lot better than jerboa already, even if it's just in early access. Have high hopes for this. Keep it up!

fristys, 10 months ago

What are the chances for an iOS one? :D

TurnItOff_OnAgain, 10 months ago

Not appearing for me at all in the play store. I'm in the US if that matters.

Predator, 10 months ago

Hmm, for me it says the app isn't available in red text on the store page. I can see it.

piposaurus, 11 months ago

Nice progress so far, the UI looks clean and easy to use. Though the name Reader is a little confusing to me - is it only for viewing / reading posts, or will you also be able to create new ones and comment on them?

idunnololz, 10 months ago

tl;dr is everything is WIP. The goal is that you will be able to do everything and more that you can from the website within the app. I’ll make a post about the current priority list on https://lemmy.world/c/summit later today.

Good job, looks great!

shortwavesurfer, 11 months ago

Is it on fdroid and is it foss? I have no access to google play or any other google service by choice and i only use foss apps whenever possible.

Kutsuya, 11 months ago

May I ask why you don't use any of those?

shortwavesurfer, 11 months ago

Because google exerts centralizing control over things. Where i live here in the US if you are not on the play store you may as well not exist. I am led to understand that in much of the eastern world such as china having multiple app stores and such is quite common. I personally choose not to use services from these large companies firstly to limit their abuse of my data, and secondly because most of these companies are american and must bow the knee to the american governmyth to continue to exist. The internet was made to not have a central point of failure, yet what would happen if Google, AWS, and Microsoft all just vanished? Complete chaos would happen over much of the internet and the largest impact would be to western companies.

idunnololz, 10 months ago

That makes sense. Can you post close sourced apps on fdroid? If so I can definitely post the app there. I just don't want to make the open source decision rn.

visor841, 10 months ago

No, fdroid is only for free and open source apps.

fu, 10 months ago

@idunnololz @shortwavesurfer not on the official repo

Kutsuya, 11 months ago

I see. Over here in Europe we use multiple stores too. As for the data collection, I personally don't really care much, I'm not a criminal nor am I an important individual, so they don't really care about me to begin with.

And yea, the internet would be quite fun if they all suddenly died

shandrakor, 10 months ago

Oh they absolutely do care, you're exactly who they want the data from. The "average person" is a goldmine for data collection. They profit massively from your existence and you should definitely care at least a little about that.

Kutsuya, 10 months ago

Eh, I don't see how it affects me as a person. Like, I wouldn't even care if they knew when I took a shit and if they measured it even.

I fail to see how it could affect my life so to say.

Freesoftwareenjoyer, 10 months ago

That's sad. You should have higher standards man. The world would be much better if we all did.

Kutsuya, 10 months ago

I just enjoy the easy things lately, Google does make a lot of things easier. I did however remove everything Facebook related

Freesoftwareenjoyer, 10 months ago

This will be proprietary. We need to support Libre Software instead. For example Jerboa app.

lifeishard, 11 months ago

FYI: look up Aurora Store

mulcahey, 10 months ago

Second this! After everything we've been through with Reddit and Twitter, a lot of users are wary of closed-source/closed-data apps and services. Open source values are what brought us to Lemmy in the first place! An open source app is in keeping with that.
