Everyone is talking about how great sync is, but i tried it (and lift off, connect, summit) and all of them are literally the same. the only one i find to be unique is thunder because thunder feels like an app not a compact webpage interface. for example the leading in the sync posts is super jarring and feels like its from a 2008 forum and thats the same for most of the other apps.
except i did notice sync added ads which is a feature no one else has yet. and ad free is 20 bucks?? so from my perspective its the same (kinda worse than liftoff) as the other apps but it costs money
what is everyone liking about sync compared to the other apps? folks could just be used to sync which makes sense
also saying its more ergonomic or it just feels better isnt an answer however if that is ur answer thats cool id like to know why its more ergonomic or whatever tho
all of the apps that arent thunder feel like a bunch of text crammed into a small spot that you scroll thru and it feels like a 2008 forum webpage. thunder is the only one that has the semblance of a minimal design
since making this post i have been playing around with sync and its decent but its still not feeling as good as thunder by a longshot
it could he the dark mode gray being mid but the extra dark mode color thing is wayy too blue. idk its just a mid app its not bad but its def not better than most apps (tbf a lot of the lemmy apps suck)
adding some type heirarchy with a bold product sans for header and a roman product sans for the copy made it a bit more readable
also im being more critical of this app because its the only thing thats being posted everywhere currently and its wildly overrated

Hehe you talk as if that’s a bad thing, but for us ex old.reddit.com users, that’s the optimal browsing experience.
