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.

Will you make a PR? I see all this concepts here, but imaging something is not as easy as actually implementing it. Hope, Jerboa's dev team will grow with current reddit user influx.

This is fully implemented and I'm working on cleaning up the git history to make a PR

[–] derek@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

That's great, thank you! Went to jerboa gh repo yesterday to check out stats and was pleased to see good spike on commit count just after reddit situation began.

[–] RiseAndShine@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, please! This looks amazing!

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

Looks nice but I usually use the list view!

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sure it will be an option. It already is currently so you should be good 👍

Looks nice! I like the existing version so far. Will you add swipe gestures for navigation and upvoting/downvoting comments?

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

This is amazing!

This may be a stupid question but does Jerboa support other instances or just Lemmy.ml? I'm on Lemmy.world.

Edit: It does. I just needed to open the sidebar, click on "Anonymous" and it brought up the login dialog where I could select my instance.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

It does. I'm at beehaw, currently using the app, and I leave the setting at federated so I can see the content across all instances.

[–] L37kn@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I use it on feddit and can see content from lemmy.ml as well

I get Object Error. Can't see it. Room for improvements!

I feel stupid. I can't for the life of me figue out how to reply to replies. (Edit: reply to replies in the inbox, it's not changed in the wild)

Other than that, everything looks good 👍

Edit²: Here is my bug report for the missing inbox interactions, if you are having this issue bump this report instead of opening a new one.

Edit³: issue closed, I would ask for more clear indication of the feature than (i think this is it) "comment action bar interaction improvements". I know the changelog needs to be succinct and must avoid excessive verbosity, but it took a while to figure out that long pressing in the username/vote counter bar reveals the interactions. Also an option to have them revealed at all times would be appreciated.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in the next update.

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

wow! that looks really nice! thanks

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

Now that looks niiiice

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

I installed this yesterday for the first time, and i like it! Thanks!

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

Yeah that looks great!

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

Looks good!

[–] shadeless@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

[Edit] ok I was blind, there is already an option for that in the settings called "show action bar by default for comments" not sure, if this came with .33 or not but I'm happy now :D

But I agree with Celsiuss - long and short press actions should be swapped!


Looks good!

One suggestion:

Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on...) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?

When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don't want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho

Example of what I mean in Sync for reddit:

Controls Hidden

Controls shown

[–] Celsiuss@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you long tap the comment, it hides the buttons.

But I agree that it should be hidden by default. And swap the long tap and short tap behavior.

It looks so much better! I am looking forward to the future of the app!
