Looking great, can't wait to test it! Nothing against Jerboa for the time being, but alternatives are always welcome. Been testing summit yesterday that someone posted as well, and I think every app has some unique features about it, so let's see where the journey goes.
Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
As for the name, isn't Lem a bit short? Not that I dislike it, but in terms of being properly searchable on google and the likes it might be better to go for a longer, unique search string, else it could get a bit cluttered.
Should have a testable android APK on the repo tomorrow and I'll work on getting the iOS app out for people to sideload.
Over all it works pretty well, there's a few bugs but it's a solid foundation!
Yeah I suck at names, I'll keep thinking
Sounds awesome! Do you have a link to the repo so I can follow you there?
Yeah you can track progress here:
https://github.com/zachatrocity/lem
I'll make a more formal GitHub release hopefully tomorrow!
Thank you for your work!
I have good news for you. Sync for Lemmy is happening!

I second Lem being too short unless op plans on doing a lot of SEO or making people search Lem for Lemmy.
No fucking way!!! YES!
Sync is coming to lemmy soon
Is summit worth using over ~~Jerusalem?~~ I currently have Jerboa installed but there's some things I find clunky about it.
Edit: I meant Jerboa
I never heard of Jerusalem, do you have a link by any chance?
My apologies, I meant Jerboa but my phone autocorrected it
No, in that case summit isn't worth it just yet, it's really a very early proof of concept app. I just like the idea that multiple apps are popping up, that was really helpful for reddit apps to adapt quickly.
Now that ljdawson (dev of Reddit Sync) officially started to work on a Lemmy client over on https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy, I'm seriously just waiting for his initial release. That app was my steady companion for 11+ years, and the first app I ever bought.
