I'm don't fully understand all parts of the GitHub website. That makes sense.
It's okay, no one does (unless you're a programmer).
To this day, I still don't understand why there's no dedicated download button. It's up to the developer to provide it, and far too many of them are too forgetful/lazy to do so cause they expect you to just know how to compile it yourself.
There is a "Releases" section which provides downloads - however for that to appear, the developer has to either setup automatic building, or manually upload something as a release.
This is because by default, GitHub doesn't know how to build random projects out there - someone has to tell it how, and GitHub needs to be told that something is ready for "release".
I find this funny because I learned how to compile programs before I learned any actual programming because of Linux having a lot of the same stuff going on back in the 90s. Want this program? Here's the source code!
From a users point of view, I understand your concerns. When other clients are undergoing significant development. It’s a little disconcerting to see the pace of Liftoff development slow and bugs not getting fixed.
Developers have personal lives too. Let's leave it at just that.
I hope so. It's my current of choice on Android.
Same my current favorite to use
They might be on vacation.
They deserve it, to be honest
Perhaps the developer got burned out like many others did after their intense work the first few weeks of the Lemmy migration. Memmy has also stagnated a lot. I'm currently using voyager wich is being actively developed
I keep coming back to Voyager as well but I wish they would fix that damn bug where you hit reply and nothing happens. Other than that issue it's probably the best Lemmy app available right now (and I've tried them all). L
Hopefully sync doesn't burn out, a lot of people paid good money for that app, it would suck if he stopped developing it
If not then maybe it's time for a new hobby... It's my mobile client of choice at the moment.
I was wondering this as well, it's only gotten one commit on github this month.
Are we all looking at the same repository? I see 3 commits in August, all of which were squash merges of PRs. 2 other PRs have been opened in this past week alone: one by a maintainer, and the other has already been reviewed by the maintainer.
Have you seen the discussion over on Matrix in Liftoff Development. From what I can tell, someone new has been doing things that hasn’t merged. Other than that not much has happened.
But really none of that matters because what matters to end users is seeing the bugs they encounter squashed and that’s not happening.
I’ve suggested before that this might be a funding issue and offered that users could donate.
I use Thunder which is being moderately more active at the moment.
This is all still very much in development not just the apps. I am glad to see everyone working so hard on making lemmy better in general.
This is the holidays season alsoson 1 Monty seems fait to have little activity
I used liftoff before sync launched. Sync is just better imo so its what i use now
I would really use Sync if it was open source and tracker free.
Ya, sync not worth it
All of the trackers are because of ads. If you upgrade the trackers go away. Doesn't address open source though.
How is Sync better? I tried both, still prefer Liftoff.
