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.

These changes look very promising, especially the comment collapsing change. Keep up the good work, all contributors!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its been a stressful week for us lemmy devs, but I can say that getting more contributors to jerboa and lemmy-ui have been hugely helpful. Between lemmy and my other projects, I haven't been able to dedicate the time jerboa deserves, so I'm really grateful.

very usefull app : for me, it's a game changer for lemmy popularity

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! I wrote it because I also became convinced, that having a decent mobile app was severely limiting our potential.

i wrote an open-source software and i know how difficult it is to develop something for open-source ( no money, people complaining...) If you are short in money like me, Give encouragement is the minimum users can do

[–] Mac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there! Just want to say that i appreciate the work you are up to. The app (0.0.29) works well and I'm legitimately enjoying my time using it.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you're liking it.

[–] a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now it's in and I'm using it, I'm wondering if it would be better if tapping a comment would only collapse the children of that comment instead. This might prevent user frustration if they try and click a link in a comment but miss, so the comment closes instead.

[–] Sewot@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This please, that would be just like my go to Reddit app, Relay, did it!

[–] a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah BaconReader does the same, I think it makes sense. I'll try and fix that for the next release.

@a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml I know I have no right to ask this as I'm in no position to contribute myself atm, but please make it a long press or add on option to configure the behavior (like Boost). I already find myself fat-fingering the wrong UI action a lot, and this new collapsing behavior doesn't help.

[–] a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah after some discussion on GitHub this is the direction the app is headed in, and the next update should have some settings in this regard with Boost-like behaviour as a user option. We can add more options if the community are split on their preferences. The joy of open source!

[–] awdsns@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, that's great to hear!

[–] iblis_sensual@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amoled theme feels awesome. Keep up the good work!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

My pleasure, I'm glad I could contribute in my own small way to this awesomeness!

[–] Bastelwombat@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there,

thanks for the work on the app ❤️ Are you open for PRs?

[–] Lets_taco_bout_it@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This app is great for me coming from RIF. Is there a way to sort by top rated comments? Keep up the great work!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Not yet, but there is an open issue.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Downloading from fdroid now!

[–] NoTime@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How can you download it from F-Droid? I have the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository added and the latest Jerboa is 0.0.31 released 2nd June.

[–] noodlejetski@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] trollblox_@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I have mine set to update every hour and still no update. I also added izzyondroid repo as recommended in another comment, still no update.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] NoTime@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All sorted thanks, it just wasn't on 0.0.32 at the time of making my comment when I was manually refreshing the repo.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Nice update, really like the blacked out theme...thank you👍🏻

[–] nigelinux@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the great work! Like it so far. A small one-off problem, it doesn't seem to support android's autofill at login.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks! There's an open issue for it.

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could it be possible for Lemmy to use beta testing via the Play Store?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not much need for that atm, I release pretty frequently, and we don't have many features that stay unmerged for long.

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, I don't mind downloading the app from GitHub so it doesn't bother me either way.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd also recommend adding the izzyondroid repo to f-droid, it updates much more frequently than anywhere else.

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'll check it later, thanks 🙏

[–] redshift@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@dessalines@lemmy.ml might know? I'm hoping it's possible - I'd like to help and report issues.

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Really like the ability to hide the bottom navigation bar.... although, whilst the Profile, Inbox & Saved (bookmarked) are replicated in the Main Menu, the Search option is not....Would be good to have that available in the Menu also..🤞🏻

Edited/updated as I initially hadn't noticed that, Saved is available in the main menu.

[–] noodlejetski@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

nice, the splash screen bug is no more! it was super annoying.
