With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I’ve been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing… I thought I’d just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form… Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better…🙌🏼
Thank you! I do have to remind people that jerboa is still very much alpha-level software… something I worked on in my off-time when not working on lemmy.
I’m super excited tho for it now, because it has a lot more skilled contributors, who actually know how to do android development.
Jerboa alone has made the transition from Boost on Reddit to Lemmy and the fediverse incredibly easy.
I agree, it looks and feels very nice and clean. Of course there’s still some small bugs, but it’ll only get better with time.
Big thank you to all the hard work and the neck break development pace lately!!
Good job devs, your work is appreciated!!
I straight up would not be on Lemmy today if not for the jerboa app. literally my only gripe with it is I think the icon for it is ugly af, but that’s just opinion and everything else about the app is great!
but its cute!!!
Second this
fr tho that app icon is gross lol. I really don’t want a lil rat scurrying around on my home screen
Hear hear! The Jerboa app has been great, and @[email protected] (hope I did that right) has worked hard on it for sure! Some of the posts about bugs and/or feature suggestions have been downright rude imho, so it’s nice see them get their flowers, they deserve it! It’s nice to see so many new app projects popping up too of course, but so far Jerboa has done great by me, and like others have mentioned, has really eased my transition from RIF. My thumb already instinctively taps on Jerboa now instead of RIF, LOL.
Thanks! One of the best compliments on it I’ve gotten!
yeah it’s always the people who contribute the least to free software who expects the most.
It can be very grating when people demand that you do free labor for them, while refusing to do it themselves. Open source can feel like a group project, where one person just makes demands on everyone else without helping out.
Was my first choice, but the app would not stay open. Installed fresh on Note 10+ and it would not actually start open long enough to acknowledge the first screen of notes before crashing.
I’ll keep an eye on it, but makes me sad 😢.
Did you open an issue on github ? If not please do with all of the details of your device such as make and model, android version , version of the app and steps to reproduce and logs if you have them.
There are most likely others who have the same issue so the sooner its reported the sooner it can be fixed. It might be a while bit at least there is a place to start with steps to reproduce the issue.
Jerboa’s been great for me. Sure it’s kinda glitchy, but they’ve already made huge improvements in just a couple weeks. Awesome work devs, now… get back to it! 😅
