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.

Is there an option to be a beta tester? If yes, how can we sign up?

Would anyone be interested in nightly snapshots? I could probably make that happen if people are willing to test.

definitely, I see a lot of bugs being fixed that'd I'd like to take advantage of but have to wait for version releases ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Ok, but just so you know, it wouldn't merely be a faster way to get new features, it would have a lot of downsides, such as:

  • you'd have to update manually
  • it would have a different app name
  • it could blow your data away without warning (just for the testing app)
  • you might not be able to use your favorite instance if there's an upcoming lemmy backend upgrade
  • there will probably be a ton of bugs

If that sounds good, I'll discuss it with the other developers and see what we can do. I think we can rig up a nightly or weekly build somewhere.

Or you can do what I do and build it from source. Once it's set up, it's pretty quick.
