It just feels like home. Rocket launched immediately

It really does! I was getting very comfortable with sync but this is exactly how I like it. Haven't paid yet but will when I'm able to.

2nd-nd. I'm happy to reward the hard work so far, knowing it will be a solid, reliable app. Any issues early on I'm confident will be quickly resolved.

I can't say this enough, the initial beta release is an amazing quality first release for a lone developer. The wait was worth it. Well done!

The fact that this BAMF in ~8 weeks made an app that is eminently more usable, user friendly, customizable, intuitive and about the same level of bug issues as the official reddit app which has been out for what a decade and probably has the support of 10x the Dev FTE is all the more reason to laugh at the inefficient reddit greed machine and support Reuben as well as info federation.

Fun fact about the official reddit app: It used to be a 3rd party app and was quite good back then. Reddit bought it instead of developing a new one from the ground up, and then made it successively but constantly worse. So the comparison should be slightly different. Mayo is creating a new good app faster than reddit can destroy a once good app.

I was a huge fan of alien blue

How does one get access to the beta?

Yeah, found it after I did my last comment.

We've had Liftoff for a while now, akshully.

Just tried it, looks and feels like I remember. Hoping OLED theme is in the works as I do miss the solid black background.
