The Sync for Reddit Dev has released an app for lemmy. People are salty because it's way better than any of the foss apps that are currently out.

I'm not sure what people were expecting. It's not like the sync dev had to start over. I would bet they were able to reuse a huge chunk of the source.

5 weeks at 100 hours ish to get to public beta.

Well you did a great job, i was a Sync user back when i was on Reddit and I'm glad to have your app back.

Infinity just dropped, so your time is limited!

Oh I'm definitely going to give it a try once it hits fdroid so it's easy to update. I'm not somehow thinking that Sync is inherently better than Foss apps. But it was always going to feel more mature. It's a conversion of an app that's been in development for 11 years, rather than a brand new app.
