Any news? (self.boostforlemmy)

Was wondering if anybody had any news about Boost's arrival to the Lemmy scene, or if anybody knew of any way to get news about Boost.

Voyager is okay and has a nice UI, but PWA's are always less than optimal because the browser abstraction layer is just slow.

Check Thunder for Lemmy. It's the best native app I've tried yet.

The experience is very smooth for me. Seems indistinguishable from a native app. Which browser are you using it with? I am using it with Chrome on Android

Kiwi browser on Android. Kiwi is a Chrome shell browser with upgrades.

I've found it runs smoother when you use it on Firefox.

I agree. Right now the idea of a web app is cool, but it doesn't really work all that well for me (scrolling up too quickly causes problems when the page thinks you want to refresh, and I like most of my apps to be in the drawer, not my home page, for instance).
