WheatleyIncWhat Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?
idunnololzI'm the developer of Summit. Unfortunately I don't see anyone mention Summit but I would suggest giving it a try as well.
I think I've been a bit slower to implement certain features compared to the other apps, but the app is heavily focused on scalability and performance. Give it a try just in case you might like it. Play store link: Summit for Lemmy
𝐘Ⓞz҉Do you have it on fdroid ?
Unfortunately the app is not open source. :(
OmarDontScareGreat App! Props to you! = )
Thanks!
Is it open source?
Unfortunately the app is not open source :(
I found Summit about 2 hours ago and love it! Thanks for your hard work.
Np! I'm glad you like it!
Looks really good! Dont be afraid to shill it :)
rjcTried it. Looks like it has a lot of promise, but I couldn't view any comments on posts. I realize it's early release but that makes it pretty unusable for now.
Thank you for reporting this issue. I have never encountered this myself. I know this is a lot of work but if you have some free time and you are willing to help I would love to try to troubleshoot the issue with you. If you're open to it send me a DM on Lemmy, or create a post about this on https://lemmy.world/c/summit.
I like this one, but I don't see where to edit my profile at all. Hopefully it will remember my filter preferences in future releases. Overall, good job!
Thank you for your feedback. This feature is currently not in the app at the moment but I can add this feature to the roadmap. If you could explain your use case for filtering that would also help a lot with how I will choose to implement this.
So when I tap the icon it automatically always shows "all" communities and "active" I would like it to know me, and my preference to stay at "local" and "hot"...
Is it libre software?
I'm not sure what "libre software" is but if you are asking if it is free then yes, at the moment the app is 100% free with no ads. If you asking if it's open source then no, it is not open source.
Libre software is used as a synonim for free (as in freedom) software, which is open source software with some nuances. Do you plan to open source it?
Unfortunately I am not planning on open sourcing the app. Summit is a fun side project for me. I think open sourcing the project would no longer make it a fun side project so I am keeping it closed source for my own selfish enjoyment.
Wouldn't it be more fun if multiple people help you out and it may still be maintained if you stop working on it?
Darn, I didn't want to debate this on a Monday morning. I'll give a tl;dr about my thoughts to avoid a debate:
First of all I 100% support open source software (I even donate monthly to some projects), but I also think every developer should have the right to choose to open source or close source their own software.
Second, I write code full time as my job 8 hours a day for the past decade. Summit is a fun hobby for me. If I made Summit open source, it would end up more in the job territory. Why would I want to make a fun project into a job?
If you love debating and want to discuss further feel free to slide into my DMs.
xavier666I mostly use open-source software for the last few years but I would still support closed-source software if it's by an individual developer.
Cool. I am an individual developer. I did use to open source things when I was younger https://github.com/idunnololz.
I just came from Reddit to ckeck lemmy out, looks quite promising. I am tring out different apps at the moment but summit looks and feels fast and responsive.
Do you by any cance release it on the F-droid appstore?
Unfortunately I cannot release this on Fdroid because the app is not open source :(
