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.

I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you've down on this app and look forward to future improvements. While there's a flood of suggestions and complaints let's all remember to keep it civil and understand that it's going to take time and work to improve this app. While some of the suggestions may seem nit picky or like whining remember we all just want to improve the experience here!

not to be that guy or anything, but native android might literally be the absolute worst mainstream ecosystem to program for. the fact that jerboa works at all considering all the other responsibilities the singular (AFAIK) dev has is honestly impressive

and if it isn't to you, you need to download android studio right now and try your hand at it. after your tenth viewmodel repository factory you won't be wondering why everyone ends up saying "screw it, we'll use react native" and ends up releasing something halfbaked

(can you tell i've been stuck in android studio for the last several hours)

Oh trust me, I'd much rather have the problems of an Android-dev rather than the problems of an iOS-dev.
