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 have more time to work on it lately. No probs.
Thank you for the good work, you're making the fediverse a better place.
Thank you @[email protected] for the update.
I noticed one thing, scrolling has been improved drastically and it has become very smooth.
What was updated that made it buttery smooth?
The biggest performance changes should be from 0.0.56
Due to a compound of factors:
- Upgrade of Jetpack Compose, the toolkit we use for the app, they have done some optimizations
- Stability config change (Basically we tell Compose these elements are stable)
- More memozation of function calls
Those factors lead to that we do a lot less recompositions now. Which means that that each frame we do less calculations, "keep the same UI element as before", it is smarter at about detecting elements that stayed the same and should not be recalculated. So each frame is cheaper and it can do thus more per second
In 0.0.60 I have updated the baseline profiles (It ships the app with AOT bindings, instead of which you would get after a week from release on the playstore)
Google does some amazing work, it just takes them a long time. Once this patch lands we should see more optimizations https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/241154852
I also recommend list/small card view, if you prefer the feed to not jump due to images loading in. At some point i'll refactor some infra so that I can Image and post preload feature out. So that it should be able to instantly load those images. But that is quite deep in the backlog.
Absolutely appreciate all these details. Thank you so much for the detailed reply. Love it.
Not dessalines but i think it was .57 or .59
Would you know what happened that made it smooth?
It was a complaint I had about jerboa.
No but my guess is they fixed some bugs that caused it to ? Or fixed the issue seperately ? Anyways i don't think it is addressed in github release notes
Thanks. Though I'd say keep the shield icon to indicate an user is a mod and highlight the background of the comment with color to distinguish them instead. Maybe add a M letter in the shield icon for mods and an A letter for admins.
@[email protected] is it me or the font size of about, posts and comments tabs in the profile section is considerably smaller than in previous versions? Almost can't see it, lol.
Edit: applies to tabs across the board, in messages too. Just too small.
hrm yep those need to be fixed. Open up an issue for that on the jerboa github if you would.
can we get link thumbnails be displayed like normal images? that would be cool
You mean in card view that it would fully show like a normal image. Hmm, the problem is that most link thumbnails aren't really relevant to the post, for example this post it would show an image of the release page. Which isn't really that relevant as we just want to link to the actual release notes.
I agree with this.
What is the actual usecase? Do you want to see the link images in the imageviewer? Cuz i could probably add a option on long click that it would allow you to see the image in the image viewer?
