Would definitely be interested in Sync for Lemmy! I've been switching back and forth from Lemmy's web UI, and the Jerboa app. I like Jerboa, but it has been a bit buggy and in some ways isn't as good as the web UI, and I think the developer of Jerboa is too busy with improving the Lemmy API to focus on Jerboa.
I used Sync for Reddit for a long time, and really liked it. I did eventually move on to Boost for Reddit, but now that I'm moving away from Reddit in general. I'd like to see more options for Lemmy apps.
What do you miss on Jerboa? What bugs did you experience with it?
I have had it randomly just close on me occasionally, and the other day it would crash every time I would click a specific link, but that same link worked just fine in the web UI.
As far as what I miss in Jerboa vs web UI. When searching communities there is less info displayed such as the amount of total sub for a community and whether or not I am already subscribed. There are 4 different popup menu controls up top, and I always forget which one as has the thing I'm looking for. If I have to move the cursor in a block of text I have written I find it harder than most other apps to get in the right place with my fat fingers. Though that's also hard on the web UI on mobile too because the text is smaller. Also, there is no fediverse icon that links to the original source of a post outside your instance.
Just now when I tried to respond to you it timed out when sending it, and I had to re-type everything.
Edit: I guess the timeout issue may not have had anything to do with the app, and could have been a server issue.
