Sync for lemmy has been released on google play. What about Boost for lemmy? When is it coming?

Sync is good but Boost is better

We're all anxious to get back on Boost and launch the rocket 🚀 so I hope you take it as support and not pressure. Having a blast with Voyager for now, but Boost was always where it was at for me. Can't wait to give it a shot when you're ready to release it!

Do you know what kind of pricing model you'll use? Will Boost for Lemmy be a separate purchase for removing ads, or do you intend to have a restore purchases button?

No pressure but I can't wait to be back on Boost!

Thank you for the years on Reddit! Can't wait to have boost for lemmy!

Super appreciative to have Sync for Lemmy to use in the meantime, but it's only increased my appetite for the real deal - Boost for life!

I'm eager to try but more than happy to wait.

I can't wait!

Thanks for the update!

Yay! Thank you for all of your hard work on boost! I'm super excited to use boost with lemmy!

Hurry up and take my money 💵

almost there!

Wow! Good to hear. Can't wait to be back on Boost.

Nice to hear.

Take your time and thanks for the effort :D

Quick! Get them!

Thanks for the update! Take your time, as great work always needs sufficient time to be prepared! Thank you for undertaking this transition, and I'm eagerly awaiting the release!

Thanks. I donated a few bux earlier in the year, before Reddit started the API thing. When Boost for Lemmy becomes a reality I'm gonna donate a few more bux to show appreciation.

That's what I love about boost. You barely notice the ads. But I bought it anyway out of respect for the dev.

Yeah, I forgot it had ads sometimes because for the most part, they weren't invasive at all.

Sometimes a bottom bar ad appeared which was annoying but it didn't appear until near the end for me for some reason.

It had a bottom banner. Dunno if you could turn it off for free?

I deleted sync, even though I was using sync before. For now, Summit is better for me. Free and fluid. No ads. In fact, $20 is not a lot of money if you live in a developed country. Unfortunately, it's a lot of money for my country.

Welcome to the boost community. You appear to be lost.

I don't think Relay will be coming, the dev is making Relay paid for Reddit and is complying with the API pricing.

You do realize Reddit broke it, right? Unless you have millions of dollars to give him per year, Reddit gave him the boot. You're welcome to contact him privately and fund the project.

Sync is good too, then just stay on it lol. Why are you even on the Boost community then?

Matter of opinion. You're literally in a community for the app you say is inferior. Why?

tl;dr: That's a nice argument, why don't you back it up with a source?

I'm trying Sync as a holdover while I'm waiting for Boost, and I've found some things that annoy me a bit. I've purposefully left out any minor bugs that seem like regressions from changing the codebase to work with Lemmy, so the only things I'll critique are purposeful design choices.

• There is seemingly no easy way to synchronise settings over accounts. This makes initial setup with multiple accounts frustrating, and future changes a little annoying.

• By default, the floating action button and the 3-dot menu at the top right open the same menu. Why are there 2 different buttons on the same screen that do the same thing?

• Changing the default text size (which is too small imo) is not easy, as you have to go and change at least 4 or 5 different font size settings for post titles, selftext, comments, comment details, etc. And even then, when I'm typing this right now, it's too small and I can't find any configuration option to change it Why is there is no global font size?

• There are a few small things that just don't make sense. For example: if you completely collapse a parent comment you're still able to tap it to have the upvote/share controls despite being unable to read it. In contrast, Boost smartly opens the comment when this happens.

There are a few other small things that mildly irk me, but other than these things my Sync experience so far (1 day as of writing) has been somewhat positive.

Claiming that it's superior without any reasoning isn't very productive. If you want to show your support for something, surely you can think of at least one reason that it's better, right?
