It feels like every other day Jerboa gets broken in some new way by an update. First all of the interactions in the inbox were hidden by an invisible button you have to hold, then the app decides “hey you know that instance you were on literally yesterday? We don’t support that version now because reasons”, and now the back button on both the app and my phone crash the app every single time. Maybe just try a bit of quality control before pushing an app that’s broken in a new way each time I open it? Before all of these broken updates, the only thing we really needed was in app image viewing (which we got) and a search bar that can search beyond your home instance (which we still don’t have).
Since you’re so concerned with Jerboa quality I’m pretty sure the developer would appreciate if you volunteered for performing comprehensive quality control before each release.
I think that this is a free app made by volunteers. I think the type of quality assurance that you are describing is from something called “unit testing”. If you want to create some unit tests, and submit to the code base, I am sure it will be appreciated.
You’re a tester of alpha version free software, if you see bugs please report them on GitHub.
Not constructive in the least, but I get your frustration of it crashing constantly. You could try designing a better app for a change.
If not, submit an issue on GitHub; though I’m sure it’s being worked on. What version have you downloaded?
My phone auto-updated to 0.0.37. Mostly my frustration lies with the most recent crash bug, like how do you not miss that? Does the dev not run their own code before pushing it out? I assume they do, and this is just an edge case, but it is really frustrating to see my new favorite app go from great, a little quirky, and improving to utterly broken in like a month.
It’s free, in alpha, and developed by people volunteering their time. Oh, and it’s open source. Instead of complaining, fix it yourself.
