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.

New user login/onboarding could be a bit more intuitive (lemmy.ml)

Essentially it took me around 1.5 minutes to figure out how to login on the app. You tap buttons and it says login required. Why not just open up the login interface? Or provide an easy link or ask immediately after first run.

Or on the sidebar, have an obvious banner that says "Login".

Just too many taps to get logged in to add your first account, and too difficult to figure out where to do so. And no help when the app prompts you to login. Make it super easy to do that!

Edit: I have developed modern UX/UI, so if even I found it confusing, I know non-expert or unfamiliar users are going to fail to ever use this app, which would be a shame. It's really great!

For anyone still looking: in the hamburger menu, tap on the dropdown that says 'Anonymous'. I'm ashamed to admit it took me well over 1.5 minutes to figure this out.
