Afternoon all,
Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.
I’m currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.
I’ll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.
Cheers,
Lj
Bug, this is not animated
I’m not even sure the link is formatted correctly? I don’t think there needs to be text in parentheses of an embed.
Oh I didn’t know that! Thank you.
Fixed
It is in Liftoff.
Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he’s got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he’s teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it’s clear to me that he’s been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he’s wanting perfection!
It’s about sending a message. He’s clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it’s done.
Isn’t on memmy
It is on Connect.
Appear as a link in voyager
Animates fine on Connect too.
