Hey The Dev, this is just a one off, random non technical user’s ( I know what <br> does and thats it) question thar are you still advancing (developing has such a Heavy Tone in it) your app? I mean, I LOVE it for the heavens, particularily on the user interface, but its kind of lagging behind of abilities of other Lemmy apps.
Also the big concern is general security as time flies by.
So as a very satisfied but also a little concerned user: whats upp? Is the app still in development, even slow burn?
Edit: I’m a wee bit drunk and not an english speaker, okay, I edited some typo’s.
Is nobody using Sync for Lemmy?
Sync is kind of in the same situation but there is at least confirmation of an update coming with 0.19
Sync has been in this situation since 2013, but ljdawson always brings the complete API standard featureset under the latest UI design guideline.
I can’t recall how many iterations Sync for Reddit went through in its lifecycle.
Oh I’m a longterm fan too. I’m just saying if a couple months without updates bothers you it’s not the app for you.
Boost and Connect are good alternatives.
The last thing we ever heard from the developer was that he just became a father. I just assume taking care of a kid is insanely time consuming.
Finally had to leave liftoff today. The lack of updates and primarily the inability to block instances made me move to connect. I really liked liftoff. It was very close to Reddit is fun good.
Reddit Is Fun users may be interested to hear that the dev created an app for Tildes instead of Lemmy. It’s pretty good, though be warned that it’s not trying to clone RiF.
I’m most worried about the upcoming breaking changes in 0.19. Unless this app is still under development, it will be dead in a few weeks.
Thank you for the heads-up! Welp, I guess I have to get into android development again after all. Not sure where I should pull the time from.
I have now wasted a couple of hours on getting the app at least to build before I can even start making changes. But it won’t build and I can’t figure out why. Additional problem is, that this is not a “old-school” Android project in Java (or Kotlin). It is a Flutter project and it uses Dart as language which I have never used.
Additionally, there is an automatic build server that I maybe could have used to infer what the problem for me is, but even it fails to build the app. I cannot look into the older successful runs since the logs have been deleted since. Clearly something has changed from the build tools used but I cannot guess what (correctly). This is the outcome of the problem when nobody uses fixed versions but rather defined “newest”, which now breaks everything and nobody knows with what versions it worked.
So I tried Flutter 3.16.0 and 3.13.9 which are most likely too new since it complains about missing and wrong stuff. With 3.10.6 tries to build but it somehow stops without any reason given and I cannot find out how to get it to tell me what the F the problem is.
Sorry for my rambling but I hate this shit and maybe this helps someone.
I‘m not a dev and can’t help you, but thank you very much for trying your best.
