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.

These changes look very promising, especially the comment collapsing change. Keep up the good work, all contributors!

Its been a stressful week for us lemmy devs, but I can say that getting more contributors to jerboa and lemmy-ui have been hugely helpful. Between lemmy and my other projects, I haven't been able to dedicate the time jerboa deserves, so I'm really grateful.

very usefull app : for me, it's a game changer for lemmy popularity

Thanks! I wrote it because I also became convinced, that having a decent mobile app was severely limiting our potential.

i wrote an open-source software and i know how difficult it is to develop something for open-source ( no money, people complaining...) If you are short in money like me, Give encouragement is the minimum users can do

Hi there! Just want to say that i appreciate the work you are up to. The app (0.0.29) works well and I'm legitimately enjoying my time using it.

Thanks! Glad you're liking it.

Now it's in and I'm using it, I'm wondering if it would be better if tapping a comment would only collapse the children of that comment instead. This might prevent user frustration if they try and click a link in a comment but miss, so the comment closes instead.

This please, that would be just like my go to Reddit app, Relay, did it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah BaconReader does the same, I think it makes sense. I'll try and fix that for the next release.

@[email protected] I know I have no right to ask this as I'm in no position to contribute myself atm, but please make it a long press or add on option to configure the behavior (like Boost). I already find myself fat-fingering the wrong UI action a lot, and this new collapsing behavior doesn't help.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah after some discussion on GitHub this is the direction the app is headed in, and the next update should have some settings in this regard with Boost-like behaviour as a user option. We can add more options if the community are split on their preferences. The joy of open source!

Thanks, that's great to hear!
