Meant in the best way possible - that was my thinking. If I'm going to take a step backward in functionality, I'm going to make the choice myself and go to the community where they're pouring support into it. Not the now huge corporation trying to milk me for profit

abirdtoldmeto,

I wish I could contribute, but I have no programming skills :( .

butter,

You can contribute. File bug reports. This is the most important thing just people can do.

Olgratin_Magmatoe,

Where do bug reports go?

elonim,

On GitHub https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues

butter,

That's it.

argv_minus_one,

Jerboa has bad UX because it needs work. Official Reddit app has bad UX because the developer wants it that way.

cavemeat,

You put it perfectly.

SubArcticTundra,

The fact that it's open source means that people will fix it when they become annoyed enough with this. This doesn't apply for the Reddit app.

vrojak,

I am in between jobs at the moment, but I plan to contribute a bit to the app soon

Well, the good thing about Jerboa is that anyone can just make changes to it and send them to the devs, so now that more people are using Lemmy, it will improve really quickly!

dessalines,

I def need as much help as I can get with it.

Kuro,

I forked it already and am starting to poke around in the code. Hope I can get a few things added.

creek,

I'm planning on doing the same with Mlem. I know fuck all about Swift, but I'll be using it as an opportunity to learn more about it, and hopefully contribute in areas that I am more familiar with.

teruma,

Honestly, it's really good for a one-person/small team project. My only complaint is that the default layout is a bit spacious.

edit: and for some reason I can't double-tap to highlight words on Android?

dessalines,

Click the view source button, then you can select text.

teruma,

That doesn't fix the issue for the text edit fields when writing posts or replies, but thanks for the work around for now.

Malthur,

You're the Jerboa dev? I think the app is great.

dessalines,

Thx!

ThatGuy,

Its better than the reddit app already, but thats not a high bar to reach lmao

Compared to the third party apps tho, its still nowhere close. With that said, the recent update already improved so much so I have faith.

Cadende,

No offense but the site has bad UX too. I mean it's gotten better but still

Icarus,

me who just uses the website

Uhuh, deflection doesn't make things look promising either.

SuperHumanNot,

I was struggling loggin in, and realized the app doesn't support Bitwardenn autofill.

fluffman86,

Turn on the accessibility features and it works OK.

My biggest issue is I use RiF and swap the votes to the right and the link or picture button to the left and get very confused on jerboa now.

LOL, this gave me a good laugh

Only one of them has a quintillion dollars to spend on making their shit look good. I'm less forgiving of that one.

open_world,

Yeah hopefully it becomes better. The biggest problem for me so far is the choppy scrolling.

Jumuta,

I've not had that issue on my Pixel 6a running Android 13 build TQ2A.230505.002

meisme,

I was able to fix the scrolling by building it in release mode idk what's up with that since Google Play only accepts release mode APKs afaik

BoostForLemmy? 👉👈

DM_Gold,

The dev of Jerboa based it off of Boost for Reddit. The only way you would get an exact copy is if the dev of boost decided to move over to Lemmy. Doubtful, but possible.

Jediotty,

I was about to say to the post as a whole "eh, its not that bad, idk what you're talking about", and then saw this, I actually used boost for like 4 years lol

DM_Gold,

Boost is great! A lot of the 3rd party apps are lovingly made. Stinks that Reddit decided money was more important than a user-base. But now we have Lemmy, which hopefully won't even be able to be like that.

Reaper_houstan,

I just got into lemmy, can't imagine using reddit without boost, jeroba feels very similar to boost except for having very little customisations(the font size in the comments is bugging me a bit), but I think with time it'll improve.

kevin,

There's an open PR that'll fix the font size issue. I'm using it now and it's great. I'm also personally working on trying to add my personal must-have UI options from Boost.

Reaper_houstan,

Ahh alright then, thank you for your work. Ps: sry if it sounded like I was complaining on the previous comment lol. I wish I could contribute, but I have no knowledge in this field.

tristanphips,

Big if true. Would make my dreams come true.

DarkwinDuck,

That would be absolutely splendid. Although i have to say i'm extremely impressed by the website UI. It's super fast and way better than most websites i've used recently.

nickajeglin,

Probably because it doesn't load a bunch of trash along with the content.

Is coming. !BoostForLemmy

Hear me out: Infinity for Lemmy

asjkk8,

don't tease me like that

jjsearle,

We can dream

Aragorn,

I wish!! I love Infinity.

averagedrunk,

That would be fantastic.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

That would be a warm, liquid dream. How amazing

veroxii,

/u/whupazz is working on a reddit compatible api for lemmy, meaning most 3rd party apps should work with little or no modification. See it working with RedReader already: https://imgur.com/a/IF5HYGz

valkyrie,

Could this mean Apollo for Lemmy 😍

asexualchangeling,
