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.

Really like the ability to hide the bottom navigation bar.... although, whilst the Profile, Inbox & Saved (bookmarked) are replicated in the Main Menu, the Search option is not....Would be good to have that available in the Menu also..๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Edited/updated as I initially hadn't noticed that, Saved is available in the main menu.

These changes look very promising, especially the comment collapsing change. Keep up the good work, all contributors!

Its been a stressful week for us lemmy devs, but I can say that getting more contributors to jerboa and lemmy-ui have been hugely helpful. Between lemmy and my other projects, I haven't been able to dedicate the time jerboa deserves, so I'm really grateful.

Hi there! Just want to say that i appreciate the work you are up to. The app (0.0.29) works well and I'm legitimately enjoying my time using it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you're liking it.

Now it's in and I'm using it, I'm wondering if it would be better if tapping a comment would only collapse the children of that comment instead. This might prevent user frustration if they try and click a link in a comment but miss, so the comment closes instead.

@[email protected] I know I have no right to ask this as I'm in no position to contribute myself atm, but please make it a long press or add on option to configure the behavior (like Boost). I already find myself fat-fingering the wrong UI action a lot, and this new collapsing behavior doesn't help.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah after some discussion on GitHub this is the direction the app is headed in, and the next update should have some settings in this regard with Boost-like behaviour as a user option. We can add more options if the community are split on their preferences. The joy of open source!

Thanks, that's great to hear!

This please, that would be just like my go to Reddit app, Relay, did it!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah BaconReader does the same, I think it makes sense. I'll try and fix that for the next release.

Downloading from fdroid now!

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How can you download it from F-Droid? I have the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository added and the latest Jerboa is 0.0.31 released 2nd June.

I have mine set to update every hour and still no update. I also added izzyondroid repo as recommended in another comment, still no update.

All sorted thanks, it just wasn't on 0.0.32 at the time of making my comment when I was manually refreshing the repo.

Thanks for the great work! Like it so far. A small one-off problem, it doesn't seem to support android's autofill at login.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! There's an open issue for it.
