Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.
After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.
Here’s some screenshots:
I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.
Very pretty! I like Lem (and also Slice, which another user suggested) for names, if you’re still mulling that over.
One thing that I’m missing from Boost for Reddit that isn’t implemented in Jerboa is the ability to long press parts of a post to access handy quick-access menus - being able to long press a post’s community or user and have the option to subscribe or block without clicking through is super handy! That and a good compact mode where there’s enough padding to accurately click the thing you want to click would be my two wishlist items (/pain points currently with Jerboa).
Either way, hope to see you on the Play Store at some point, and thanks for being part of the community!
