I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?

It’s not that it hasn’t been released, it already exists. Boost was one of the 3rd party apps for Reddit considered to be one of the top 3 (second only to Apollo and RiF) in terms of performance and UX. Since Reddit booted them off their service, the developer announced he was simply going to rewrite the backend to support Lemmy with the same quality UX and performance that is already known.

I can already hear the Sync fanboys pouring in from their discord to disagree.

PSA for all former apollo users: voyager for lemmy (wefwef.app) is what you’re looking for. Go to the site, press the share button, and press add to Home Screen. I always held out hope that apollo would be reincarnated for lemmy, but I never expected it to happen this fast and to work this well

My only complaint about Voyager is lack of Kbin support. Perfect otherwise.
