DISCUSSION: Integrating Sync-like Features into Summit for Lemmy: An Open-Source Alternative? (lemm.ee)

I was curious:

Have you ever considered potentially incorporating some of the highly-praised UX elements, theming capabilities, and overall user experience from Sync for Lemmy into Summit?

Many users, including myself, have found Sync's interface and customization options to be exceptional, as well as leagues ahead of the competition (no offence).

However, there are concerns in the Sync community about Sync's closed-source nature, as well as the developer's loonngg periods of inactivity.

Given Summit's open-source ethos and active development, do you see an opportunity to potentially fill this gap by bringing some of Sync's most loved features to Summit, while maintaining your commitment to transparency and regular updates?

If done right, Summit could potentially become the new Sync, but open-source, and with active updates.

I'm curious about your thoughts on this, and whether or not it aligns with your vision for Summit's future development.

I'd love navigation rail buttons position option on tablets. on sync there's an option to have it on top, middle or bottom. I prefer middle, because its more reachable by hand. however summit has it on top with no option to change it

Also, Cloud Backup and Translation Features.

Sync for Lemmy's cloud backup and translation features are part of the premium "Sync Ultra" subscription:

Cloud Backup

Allows encrypted backups of user data, ensuring secure storage and easy recovery. This feature is designed for better data management and protection.

Translation Feature

Enables automatic translation of posts and comments from foreign languages into the user's system language, making multilingual content accessible directly within the app.
