Summit - A Lemmy reader (play.google.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by idunnololz to c/android
 

Hello! I recently just released a Lemmy reader app for open beta. I've been working on the app since the black out about a week ago.

The app is will very much a work in progress however the core reader functionality should be working. I will continue to work on the app and estimate it will likely like a month before all core features will be implemented.

That being said, I've been having a lot of trouble browsing Lemmy on web and I still think the app is an upgrade over the raw web experience.

If anyone is interested please give the app a try and let me know what you think!

Here's a quick demo as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MMpMHwzTuII

Update

I started a community at https://lemmy.world/c/summit. I will try to post frequent updates there.

Really nice job so far! If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to get around CORS? I've started tinkering with the official JS client and ran into issues.

Shows promise. Two recommendations:

Use or have an option for Android 12's "Material You" colour scheme

Open source it

Nice app but this icon will make your app 100% better

[–] V4uban 2 points 1 year ago

Very nice! Thank you for this, keep on the good work!

Great app so far. Would love and option to disable the bottom tab bar completely.

[–] idunnololz 1 points 1 year ago

I'll note it but this isn't likely to be implemented any time soon since there are a huge amount of more critical features in the backlog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Seems very good after using it for a couple minutes, excited to see it's future!

feels nice, but i can't login to lemmy.world, it always gives me "incorrect password". login via web and jerboa works fine.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hmm that is odd. All of my test accounds are on the lemmy.world instance but I haven't encountered any issues. I can try looking more into it. Can you double check there is no mispelling with the instance name (lemmy.world) or the user name?

[–] kitano 3 points 1 year ago

I had a 64 character password. I now changed it to 32 characters and it works. Is there a character limit on the password field?

Kudos on this effort. Will give it a try and wishing you all the best with your work on this app.

You might wanna change that developer name.

Love how smooth this is compares to jerboa

[–] designated_fridge 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, that's really impressive progress in that amount of time! Keep it up, I love what I'm seeing!

It would be great to have navigation buttons allowing to quickly jump between threads and to hide comments by clicking on them, which are my favorite features from Boost for Reddit.

This really closes the circle on leaving reddit for me. Fantastic news!
