Jerboa

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Are you a developer of both Lemmy and Jerboa? I just realized I think I've seen your name in both places. You are a freaking hard worker!!!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 80 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ya, realized people kept making flutter and javascript / react native apps for lemmy, so I decided to teach myself jetpack compose and build a native android app for lemmy... I love the reddit app boost, so jerboa is essentially an open source reverse engineering of it's UI.

I haven't been able to contribute much to it lately tho, because I've been overwhelmed with a lot of other priorities, but its been getting a ton of great contributers.

You are an absolute legend. Don't overdo it.

[–] reclipse@lemdro.id 18 points 1 year ago

Thank you for making native app for Android.

[–] the_countrox@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

This feels incredibility based haha

The boost developer did announce boost for lemmy. Might be a nice opportunity to work together.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're welcome to contribute, but I'm guessing boost for lemmy will be closed source.

It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would be nice if it was actually updated on Fdroid or Google 😓

[–] darcmage@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Give obtainium a shot to get it straight from the source as soon as it's available.

[–] Navarian@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

This is great, can't believe I'm only just discovering this – thanks!

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Oooh this look cool. Thanks :)

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will, but izzyondroid will get it the fastest.

[–] darcmage@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Or you could use obtainium to get it straight from the source as soon as it's available.

I really wish they would add a left handed mode for comments.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 year ago

Open up a github issue.

"Add toggle in settings to hide descriptions in navbar"

YES, as someone who uses the German version of Jerboa, I was waiting for this!

[–] RoToRa@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Although this seems like the laziest variant. It shouldn't be that complicated to redesign the navbar allowing two line text and hyphenation of the text.

[–] reddfugee@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the hint

My subscribed feed is blank, the all and local feeds are fine.

[Edit] Account switching still doesn't work properly.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My subscribed is showing fine, you might need to re-log in. What version?

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I'm still on 0.0.38, even though there's no update available.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feel free to open up an issue if it still exists on 0.0.39

[–] Sarcastik@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm having the same problem despite updating and logging out and back in multiple times.

I really like Jerboa, but been having a really bad ride with it since joining Lemmy.

[–] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had the same issue because of the security incident yesterday. Maybe try to log out, clear the cache of the app and log back in.

[–] Marxine@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the hard work! Gonna download it right now ✨

Edit: just updated, everything's doing fine and smooth over here!

[–] kadu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a simple man, I see Jerboa update I upvote.

I see someone upvote Jerboa, I upvote them

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ok I don't need sleep after all.

[–] mightysashiman@kbin.social -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there any kbin support planned?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

No, It's a completely different platform with it's own API. It will have to develop it's own apps.
