With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I’ve been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing… I thought I’d just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form… Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better…🙌🏼
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 @[email protected] (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! 😅
