    Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.

    I’ll be posting updates on discord:

      This is going to be a game changer. I’ve been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can’t see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!

      I’m literally getting emotional. For me, Sync was reddit. Been using it for over 11 years. Can’t wait to be an early adopter and never let go again.

      If you need beta testers familiar with the original Sync or anything, happy to help!

      That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that reddit ruined their ecosystem.

        We’ve been using it for sync development for the last few years.

        When there’s enough to release of course they’ll be changelog and posts etc too.

    I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I’m still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.

      Well yeah, but that’s the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.

    Wow, I’ve never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it’s one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I’m currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get “ported” to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.

      Same here, I’m so excited!

      I’m more than happy to pay for a service I enjoy so I legitimately cannot wait to give him my money.

      Here’s to new beginnings in the Fediverse!

      Likely a game changer that has be giving Lemmy a try. Jerboa isn’t too terrible either.

        I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it’s nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I’ll be watching the Sync development. Can’t wait!

          Jerboa has been nice, besides the weird glitch where it shoots me back to the top of a post when scrolling down. Lol

          Otherwise it’s pretty good for a FOSS solution!
