With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I’ve been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing… I thought I’d just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially the compact view are really easy on the eyes, & great to scroll through quickly. I know there are some errors from time to time, & the odd glitch here & there, but thats something to be expected, given that Jerboa is still in its Alpha form… Thanks for all you do, each iteration makes the experience, better & better…🙌🏼
Thank you! I do have to remind people that jerboa is still very much alpha-level software… something I worked on in my off-time when not working on lemmy.
I’m super excited tho for it now, because it has a lot more skilled contributors, who actually know how to do android development.
It’s great for an alpha! I use it every day.
Just wanted to say that I love the animation while collapsing comments. Very slick.
Excellent work.
I wouldn’t be using Lemmy/the Fediverse if it weren’t for the devs of this app. I hope we can keep it alive as long as possible, like the fediverse itself. Decentralization is why the internet has prospered this far. It would make sense to have a social internet that’s decentralized too
There’s got to be thousands of peopel that are using this platform because of Jeroba. I know I probably wouldn’t be here and commenting without that app. Thanks for all the hard work!
I’m one of 'em, it’s been great so far!
Just here to say that I love the animation when collapsing comments. So slick.
It’s brand new too, I literally asked the dev for one tap comment collapsing and he added it the next day or so.
As a fellow Software Engineer/architect myself, really nothing but praise for these guys.
It is indeed very satisfying.
Hear hear! The Jerboa app has been great, and @dessalines@lemmy.ml (hope I did that right) has worked hard on it for sure! Some of the posts about bugs and/or feature suggestions have been downright rude imho, so it’s nice see them get their flowers, they deserve it! It’s nice to see so many new app projects popping up too of course, but so far Jerboa has done great by me, and like others have mentioned, has really eased my transition from RIF. My thumb already instinctively taps on Jerboa now instead of RIF, LOL.
Thanks! One of the best compliments on it I’ve gotten!
yeah it’s always the people who contribute the least to free software who expects the most.
It can be very grating when people demand that you do free labor for them, while refusing to do it themselves. Open source can feel like a group project, where one person just makes demands on everyone else without helping out.
Hahah, I put Jerboa right where rif used to be, so now I end up here instinctually plenty of times a day. No complaints on my end, the apps doing everything I need so far!

I’m currently using jerboa, it’s pretty close to Reddit feel, so I like it, cuz that’s what I’ve been used to x.x
I straight up would not be on Lemmy today if not for the jerboa app. literally my only gripe with it is I think the icon for it is ugly af, but that’s just opinion and everything else about the app is great!
but its cute!!!
Second this
fr tho that app icon is gross lol. I really don’t want a lil rat scurrying around on my home screen
Jerboa alone has made the transition from Boost on Reddit to Lemmy and the fediverse incredibly easy.
I agree, it looks and feels very nice and clean. Of course there’s still some small bugs, but it’ll only get better with time.
Big thank you to all the hard work and the neck break development pace lately!!
It basically replaced the Relay for reddit app for me. Works pretty good.
Yea! Jerboa certainly helped me leave Reddit. Well done and thanks devs!
Damn right.
It’s already in the place of RIF.
Same I replaced my RIF with this app and use it daily just as I used to do with RIF. When I get the funds plan on donating.
Good job devs, your work is appreciated!!
Jerboa has been great for me. Helped fill the rif size hole in my media consumption.
