Any news on how far along Boost is? (lemmy.ml)

The original planned release date was the "end of August", so I'm just getting a bit curious on how far along it is.

Not trying to put more pressure on what's probably a single developer, totally understand if it needs more time or polish. I'd rather get a good product a few months late than a half-baked one that is nominally on time.

The Dev commented on a post saying it will be released at the end of this month.

I saw that, and it is currently the end of the month

Although everyone who remembers school or uni know that at the end does mean in the last minutes.

I would also argue that it is the end of the month.

Better having a stable version, then something Buggy...

We all agree. But since statement was it should be out, an announcement from the dev that he needs more time would remove questions. I think we all understand. And we all want the best app possible. But its only natural that questions are asked when estas aren't met. Nothing more, nothing less.

So like...it's next month, did they happen to put up a new eta?

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, he's commented in another post here - https://lemmy.world/comment/3011983. Main part has been done. Just squashing some bugs, but a beta release should be here in next week.

This site is worse and better than Reddit in every aspect

Ironic isn't it? 😆

Correction, he planned to have a beta out sometime this week. That also isn't sure to happen. Probably Monster Hunter level of bug hunting right now and we probably just need to stop refreshing the play store twice every day :)

Expectations go up with every day though. Which is a bit unfortunate.
