FYI, Lemmy and Kbin are Progressive Web Apps, meaning you can install them as regular apps to your phone's home screen (lemmy.world)

I find that jerboa has some missing features that are there in the web app. Things like being able to go from a comment in your inbox to that same comment in context in it's thread.

Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn't already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.

Have you written for the app before? How did yiu find it? I took a very quick look and plan to try working on it at some point but I don't know kotlin at all. It'll take some spinup for me.

Yes, I made two small contributions till now. The maintainers seem pretty responsive when new PRs are opened and open to the stuff people are adding. Did not have a thorough look through all the code of the app yet but what I have seen seems structured quite good and I look forward to working more with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Am a Java Dev for work, quite some time since I last worked on an Android App but making small contributions first should get you started

I'll give it a shot as I have time. I'm primarily a Python developer with experience in Go, C, and a smattering of other languages. Should be easy enough to learn enough to contribute some small PRs.
