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.

It looks great, thank you very much for your work!

If you're looking for inspiration on UI design, you might check out Sync for Reddit while it's still active. It's one of the best apps I've ever used.

Relay also has excellent UI. I tried pretty much every Reddit app available on Android and kept coming back to Relay.

The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the 'read' posts was awesome for browsing

Swiping up to close the link and swiping right to go back to the feed was a game changer. I'm finding Jerboa hard to use without it. :(

+1 for Relay. Great UX

Yup only Reddit app I've consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same

Relay was the only app I could use consistently. I tried all the others. There is a Reddit API proxy that someone was creating for Lemmy that has been linked to /u/DBrady - hopefully he uses it to port his app here too.
