Summit - A Lemmy reader (play.google.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

Hello! I recently just released a Lemmy reader app for open beta. I've been working on the app since the black out about a week ago.

The app is will very much a work in progress however the core reader functionality should be working. I will continue to work on the app and estimate it will likely like a month before all core features will be implemented.

That being said, I've been having a lot of trouble browsing Lemmy on web and I still think the app is an upgrade over the raw web experience.

If anyone is interested please give the app a try and let me know what you think!

Here's a quick demo as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MMpMHwzTuII

Update

I started a community at https://lemmy.world/c/summit. I will try to post frequent updates there.

Getting some RiF vibes, and that's such a refreshing feeling in a era of bloated corporate apps.

I like it a lot so far.

Downloading. Looks very good but features are a bit lacking from what i can tell (no comment/post history?) and saved posts are a wip. Keep up the good work, excited to see updates in the future

tl;dr is everything is WIP. At the moment no feature is "off limits". I'm just trying to crank out as much as I can as fast as I can. I'll make a post about the current priority list on https://lemmy.world/c/summit later today.

Shows promise. Two recommendations:

Use or have an option for Android 12's "Material You" colour scheme

Open source it

[-] g8phcon2@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have a public git for this?

[-] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The author said in another comment that it will be proprietary.

Unfortunately it is unlikely that I will open source this project but we shall see. I respect the open source community, I just historically have enjoyed working close source more.

[-] g8phcon2@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying "developers" on the internet.

Are you really asking how one could enjoy creating an app A) without the general public nitpicking at how and why you're doing it and B) reserving the ability to make some money off the app?

[-] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think maybe you misunderstand how Libre Software works. Nobody wants to take away control from the author of forbid them from making money. We just want to have control over our devices and the software that runs on them. We want to be able to see what it does and that it doesn't have any malicious functionality. Lemmy itself is Libre Software and all software should be like this.

[-] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So you don't care about your users then. You don't want them to be able to see what your app does on their device and be able to control it.

[-] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I second this, too. I always prefer Open Source apps.

[-] Domriso@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I really like it. It's fast and feels nice to use, with a tighter interface. I'll be looking forward to it getting more features.
