Well that's pretty goddamn rude. The current clients are phenomenal for brand new apps that have no preexisting framework to start on, have been progressing very quickly, and are really, really nice to use.

Maybe let's not put others down in our excitement for something we're familiar with.

Ah common, the clients out there are basically in the same state as the lemmy and kbin code, its something that has just started, and you shouldn't set to high expectations for boost either.

We are in the pioneer age of this social media system. Stuff is a little Rough firstly, but it will get better with time.

Honestly, after setting wefwef to compact view and dark mode and spending a few days using it to get used to where everything is, I'm starting to really like it. Easy to digest while browsing and the swipe actions to vote/reply/mark as read work really well once you get used to it.

Yeah, i use jerboa, the "official" app, i like that its open source and i can get it from F-Droid, i hope Boost will go the open source path as well.

I'm looking forward to it. Jerboa has been good so far. But I loved being able to collapse comment threads.

I figured it out. Gotta tap the area where the names are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I find I'm able to tap the comment text itself.

Hmmm. How do you make it happen? I tried long pressing on the comment to collapse like with boost but it only got rid of the you l up vote and comment stuff.

You can do this in connect and wefwef, those are the two I use most. I'm more interrested in a good app for kbin. The Pwa app isn't bad, but it's missing some functionality and it isn't a native app.

I'm using Jerboa and it is great, but has less customization options than Boost and you can't save drafts of your comments... as far as I can tell.

Appreciate everyone working on these apps, amazing work πŸ‘
