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.

Just updated to 0.0.38 (from 0.0.34 I think) and it is amazing. The addition of comment navigation buttons and the abbility to go back to home page by swiping right are just so pleasant. Thanks devs, with how great this app is developing I don't think I would need to try the incoming reddit apps.

I kinda wish I could disable the swiping thing, I find it annoying

[–] Aluminum8637@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

For me hitting the back button crashes the app. I am not used to swiping to get back out of a post. I end up crashing the app a lot.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It is very sensitive. When I swiping with my thumb it's in an arc, and if I start above half way it reads as a right-swipe and takes me out of the post. Frustrating.

Second this. I keep accidentally backing out of things.

I'm on Liftoff right now. As someone that types very quickly, but not very accurately, the bug where if you use backspace to delete a lot of stuff, it will delete the space of the previous word, was very, very annoying, and still hasn't been fixed (although I'm not sure if there's any PRs to fix it). I've been trying a bunch of clients and most of them are at a very early stage. While I don't like Liftoff's Material You design, it's still better than most.

Liftoff's UI is pretty terrible but the functionality and the snappyness of it is absolutely the strong point.

Volume button navigation finally! I loved that from Sync. But more importantly with the new update Jerboa isn't crashing anymore for me upon starting it.

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

Swiping between tabs of the profile doesn't take huge cross screen swipes anymore either. The comment edit cursor position bug is still there though.

And I can go back without the app crashing! :) Very happy that's resolved for me, and with a neat gesture to boot :) Thanks, I didn't even see that gesture was added, it's really useful!

I came here to say this.

The latest 0.0.38 is so much more stable and fast.

The developers did a great job. I can't imagine the amount of pressure they must be under right now with the Reddit exodus.

Jerboa has been great, and I'm excited for the Boost app too. Might try Sync to see what the fuss is about

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I am excited for Slide's rise from the grave as well.
