Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity

[-] TheCraiggers@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You had me at Slide.

[-] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

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

It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.

Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.

[-] danielton@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!

[-] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

SLIDE WAS THE BEST! It ran under the radar and the dev was MIA for a long time so I had to switch to Infinity but it was the best app I used for Reddit, soooo pumped to see Slimmey

[-] databender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

[-] SpecGeo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit

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

Yes! This was my favorite app.

[-] SandboxScience@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!

[-] Onurb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes please! even though jebora is nice. i would still prefere to swipe through the fediverse and customize the experience again

https://github.com/bqv/slide

was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I'm constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just "getting something that works", but if you're interested, there you go

[-] GONADS125@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow no way... Slide has always been my favorite 3rd party app, and I always felt like the only one using it when I'd mention it on reddit. What an awesome surprise!

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

I've used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I've never had any issues with it at all!

[-] GONADS125@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn't tweak it enough!

[-] emberwit@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!

Thank you so much! I tried several Reddit apps over the years and Slide was by far my favorite. I used it up until the blackout when I left Reddit for Lemmy.

When and where can we get this?

[-] Unimeron@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which is very close to Slide regarding usability. One thing Joey did better was zoomable videos. How cool is that!?

I really hope for a comeback of Slide as an Lemmy app!

[-] dakerDraws@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Same. Slide was sooo good that I was sad to see it abandoned. Joey comes really close and I'd like to see that developer give Lemmy a shot.

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

YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this

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

Awesome! Where do we sign up for updates?

[-] aaa@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I tried various 3rd party reddit apps over the years and stuck with slide the longest. Always liked its simplicity, ux design and focus on pictures. I'm an iOS user though, anything planned for that? (I'm on Mlem beta meanwhile.)

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

Ohh yes!! Here we go. Slide was the App that started my Reddit Addiction. Best interface imo. Used it till a few weeks ago.

I mean... What are the chances?! Unbelievable :D thank you, one tester eagerly awaiting :)

[-] theory@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

If you arent aware, there is a community at !slide@feddit.uk

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for pointing it out! Was not aware.

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

Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!
