The minimalism of Jerboa app is unparalleled (lemmy.ml)

So I've just found out about Lemmy. (Although I'm a big FOSS enthusiast)

Choose this app for my Android device, and boy nothing beats it's minimalism!

Thx! I'm its original creator, and used it to teach myself android app programming. It also has another core maintainer, mv-gh, who knows much more about android development than me.

I haven't had too much time to work on it recently, but its open source so anyone can contribute.

Haha incredible for a learning project 😄. Shining example of UX imo. Thanks

Thank you for the app. One suggestion: YouTube preview (not the video; just the image)

+1 for jerboa. I love an app that doesn't get in my way.

That's right 👍 it doesn't even do notifications, although I wish it did!

It's not even that minimal. It's just a yet another good FOSS app. We have many many more of those around here.

EDIT: also there's a separate Jerboa community at https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa

What 😂 I don't believe it couldn't get any more minimalist than this...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Anything can get more minimal. But it wasn't my point. My point was that many good FOSS apps are like this (and they're obviosly significantly more minimal than bloated commercial proprietary garbage that you may compare them with). Jerboa isn't much unique amongst them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yep, that I agree with

I have decided that Jerboa is by far the best mobile Lemmy experience. I only open the browser version to post custom emojis.

Jebora is what sync for Reddit used to be (not the same dev, but similar experience)

Once I joined Lemmy, dropped sync instantly in favor of jebora mostly because sync wasn't released yet. When sync finally dropped, I saw my previous paid sub didn't mean anything that they wanted more money. Small dev, I get it but I do not pay for the same thing twice.

it seems to keep up with the web ui as far as preferences. i want upvote visible because some people use them instead of short replies but i never need to see downvotes. jeroba is the only app on Android that uses that profile setting.

Jerboa supremacy, I'm double dipping on the Lemmy devs and I love it.
