Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

It's just my humble opinion, but I'm not a fan of the new look to have the score and arrows visible on the main page. I feel like it's too easy to vote and move on and not truly interact with the post.

Also, the numbers play an immediate influence in whether you want to check the post out or not. It's too easy to make a snap judgement and I feel like it reduces engagement overall.

Just my thoughts. Would love to hear others as well!

It seems to be a pretty core element of a voting-based link aggregation site. You can use browser plugins to block it on your end

This is about the Jerboa app though, so browser extensions wouldn't be an option here.

Fair. I could see this being a feature request but again, voting is kinda the whole point of these type services so unless OP is wanting to put forward a PR, I don't see it happening

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought it'd be a top priority. Always in favour of people having customisation options though,as long as the dev is amenable.
