Longtime Apollo user, just moved to Lemmy. Hoping the blackout brings many more with me, and hoping Lemmy can handle the surge
Glad to have you! Tell the apollo dev we'd be happy to have them make an app for Lemmy!
I created our android app, jerboa, and there's also an open source one in development for iOS called mlem
Another round of thanks for your work on jerboa!
I see your commit history goes back to Jan 2022, if you had to rewrite what would you want to do differently?
(I don't have any specific plans here, but I'm completely new to this space and interested in anything you've learned the hard way.)
e: hold on you're the og lemmy dev, you ain't got time for this. I thought it was just the app, whoops, ignore me pls
I don't think I would change anything... Learning jetpack compose, and signal-based reactivity, has been teaching me how to be a better UI designer, and I've been applying its principles to the other apps I develop. Its very opinionated, for performance reasons, whereas a lot of front end frameworks like react can let you do things in 1000 different ways.
I'd been wanting someone else to build a native android app for lemmy for a while by then, but when it became clear no one else was going to, I scraped out time from other lemmy work for a month to build it.
Currently using jerboa right now!! Thanks for your work!
No probs!
Also using Jerboa right now. Such a fantastic effort. I am a programmer myself, so I know the effort that goes into it!
Thanks, glad you like it so far.
Awesome, I'm dropping that google play store link nonstop over the last day or so. Good luck to you in the coming days!
Your app is going to explode!
Oh shit, you're how I'm even here right now this easily! Props man.

Thanks for Jerboa! It's way faster than https://lemmy.ml for me
