It's been only two months. Do not assume that app development is a weekend job.

It's probably a weekend job, in the way they can only afford to work on weekends on it...
Think the Sync dev said he spent 60 hour weeks working about 6 weeks to get Sync for Lemmy up.
The guy who is making Connect did its initial release in 4 or 5 days, I remember I tried it, he was updating multiple times a day in the beginning, impressive
The Dev said in another comment that he expected to release it by the end of August.
Good. I hope it comes out soon. I'm patiently waiting for it!
Just be patient. The developer has been active in the boost community, and has stated that he expects release before the end of August. I'm using sync for now til it drops. Boost was my favorite way to surf Reddit and I don't think it's gonna change on lemmy
I just started using Eternity (formerly Infinity for Lemmy), and it's about as good as Boost used to be. Kinda killed any hype I had for Boost for Lemmy at this point.
I started Lemmy with Jerboa, switched to Sync, tried Eternity (Infinity), un-installed immediately, and am now very happy using Voyager.
So for me personally, Boost is a little late.
What's your opinion on photon or alexandrite? I like those even more personally.
Alexandrite is very nice when you're on PC, but on a phone screen its a lot easier to just use a third party app.
Don't know when you last tried but it was recently updated and has "cards" which makes it a lot more useable on mobile :)
Definitely taking his time to make sure it drops as most likely the least buggy, most feature-rich on-release Lemmy app yet. He's gotta outperform the other 20, so may as well learn from them.
