I haven’t seen this app suggested, so I’m sharing it in case anyone likes it.
Try Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
You can install and autoupdate using: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
Thanks for raising awareness. Seeing a lot of liftoff, connect, jerboa and wefwef but not as much thunder. I personally like thunder the best so far of the four.
Also, pro tip, we can all prefer different apps! There is no right or wrong app, there’s just whichever is right for you!
Thanks for the obtanium hint. New to me.
I was skeptical at first, but it’s great! It properly parses repos, it shows you a preview of where you’re about to download from, and if there are multiple assets in a release it lets you pick the right one. And then it does auto-updates just like an F-Droid client!
Thunder is OK for now, until Sync comes out
Love this app at the moment - it will have a fight when SyncForLemmy comes out.
Sync isn’t going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.
Have tried Thunder, Jerboa, Liftoff. I’m finding the web app wefwef.app better though, since it’s based on Apollo and has a really nice UI/UX.
It’s missing features and performance really starts chugging after a few minutes of scrolling, but updates are in the pipeline
FWIW the pre release build is actually in a pretty good state right now
is it on Fdroid?
Yep, I’m using obtainium for lemmy apps currently though since the update intervals are pretty short considering they are in alpha.
