Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.
I’ll be posting updates on discord:
Cheers, Ljdawson
This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!
This is awesome! Thank you!
That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that reddit ruined their ecosystem.
MVP
Most Valuable Program?
Minimum viable product
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Minimum Viable Product, if anyone wants to know the answer.
Thought I agree on most valuable
I’m literally getting emotional. For me, Sync was reddit. Been using it for over 11 years. Can’t wait to be an early adopter and never let go again.
If you need beta testers familiar with the original Sync or anything, happy to help!
That’s fantastic news!
Why discord? Why do I have to sell my soul to view a changlog? Why are people trying to use discord to solve a problem that doesn’t exist?
We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.
When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.
The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.
Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.
Yeah using it rn is pretty ass compared to old reddit and 3rd party apps. Good things coming tho.
It’s exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.
Thanks Obama… I meant Spez
The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!
If only sync for reddit would auto-update to sync for lemmy
Same And double samez
i will follow the sync app to the ends of the earth
Just created an account then downloaded Jerboa. I am +/- ten minutes old here in Fediverse yet. About to delete my 11 year-old account in Reddit. Thank you u/spez
Same here !
I will pick this up day 1! Been using sync for years and have always come back to it.
I’m genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.
Never used Sync (I used RiF then slide) but I’ll check it out when it’s released. The is great news for lemmy and the fediverse. Oh and fuck reddit.
So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.
Yep, i’m permanently on Lemmy with this news.
As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!
I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I’m still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.
This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!
I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.
Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it. I still don’t really understand the difference with Lemmy but it’s cool.
My understanding is its all different UIs creating/cataloging content via the ActivityPub standard and it comes down to the different “types” of content being emphasized or focused on. Lemmy focuses on"link aggregation" ala Reddit, Mastodon does “Microblogging” ala Twitter, kbin does and supports both.
I will pay full price, day one
I moved to Sync when alien blue was bought by reddit, this is such exciting news!! Woo!
