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.

I think it's still early for that. In the meantime, I suggest two apps that kind of resemble to our beloved Boost: Jerboa, and Connect. Check them out.

I've found Thunder to be quite good, it's on the Playstore

Tried it now, looks like very good so far!

On that note, since I tried those two: Do you know any app that has an optimized tablet-mode?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thunder has a two-column feed setting, not sure about any other tablet optimizations yet! There should be a new full release this week or next, but the latest build on GitHub is quite solid and has a lot of improvements from the build currently on Google Play

I'm still cycling between apps almost daily, and none so far ticks all the boxes for me. I have Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa and Voyager on my phone right now. I tried Thunder a while back but didn't like it.

Sync is on it's way and it will come down to either that or Boost in the end for me, I think.

Yeah, totally.

Boost and sync is kind of twins though, I've used both and exchange them often whenever an update breaks things.
