Hi everyone, first comment on here. Going to try to get an MVP out within the next 3-6 weeks.
I'll be posting updates on discord:

This is going to be a game changer. I've been using Sync Pro since 2015 and can't see myself using anything else for mobile browsing. Thanks for the awesome app!
I'm literally getting emotional. For me, Sync was reddit. Been using it for over 11 years. Can't wait to be an early adopter and never let go again.
If you need beta testers familiar with the original Sync or anything, happy to help!
Please charge a lot

As a long time Sync user this made my day!
Same!
Same here, I'm so excited!
I'm more than happy to pay for a service I enjoy so I legitimately cannot wait to give him my money.
Here's to new beginnings in the Fediverse!
I saw it in the redditsync subreddit already - this is such great news, especially since I'm still struggling to get used to the Lemmy interface. I had bought Sync Pro 7 years ago and it is probably the most heavily used app on my phone.
The whole fediverse needs some serious UX work.
Well yeah, but that's the difference between volunteering and being on a big salary. Hopefully the influx of new users will lead to more code input though, and more donations.

The end of Sync is the reason why I will leave Reddit at the end of the month. So nice to see that we eventually might get a new app for Lemmy!

That's why I came here today! Like a Phoenix rising from Sync for Reddit's ashes Sync for Lemmy will be born! Nice to see you all my fellow converts. Today is my new cake day!
Now THIS is good news!
i will follow the sync app to the ends of the earth
This is genuinely exciting news.
Likely a game changer that has be giving Lemmy a try. Jerboa isn't too terrible either.
I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it's nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I'll be watching the Sync development. Can't wait!

Yep, i'm permanently on Lemmy with this news.
As a iOS user I really hope Apollo will follow!
As a recent lemmy convert from reddit who exclusively used Sync, this made my day. Thanks for the news.
This is HUGE! I was really missing Sync.
I will pick this up day 1! Been using sync for years and have always come back to it.
I moved to Sync when alien blue was bought by reddit, this is such exciting news!! Woo!
Just created an account then downloaded Jerboa. I am +/- ten minutes old here in Fediverse yet. About to delete my 11 year-old account in Reddit. Thank you u/spez
It's exciting to see all these apps ramping up development. Honestly, the greatest gift that Reddit gave to the fediverse is sending all their former third party developers here, because that will greatly accelerate development.
Thanks Obama... I meant Spez
I will pay full price, day one
this is amazing!! sync for reddit is such a gorgeous app i was sad to leave it behind
So many good news. Glad these developers are also trying out other options since Reddit has started shitting itself.
I already bought Sync for Reddit twice. Removing ads from the free version the first time (it was still called Reddit Sync back then) and then again for the 'ad code not even included' pro version earlier this year. Guess I'll be buying Sync a third time.
Or more specifically, Google will be buying it for me with the cash they paid for my data.
This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!
I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.
Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don't really understand the difference with Lemmy but it's cool.

guessing this is going to be an Android app and there won't be an iOS variant? regardless, happy to know there's an app coming sooner than later and look forward to being able to easily browse Lemmy on my phone again.
Been Joey for Reddit user for as long as I remember.
I wanna try Sync for Lemmy. This is way to go!
First time I've seen Joey mentioned during this whole debacle, but it's been my choice for as long as I've had an android too
Sync is a great app! Been using it for years
My preference was Joey, but before Joey, I was on Sync and loved it. Can't remember why I switched to Joey, but both are great.
I really hope alpha or beta is available soon because the current apps are really lackluster sadly...
YES!
I will purchase Sync Pro for lemmy when it comes out.
It's been an outstanding app for me on the old site, and I look forward to firing it up again in a much better online environment.
I'm genuinely so excited for this and and the same time hoping boost makes one too. They recently dropped their latest update and it looks beyond pretty with the rounded edge cards and adaptive colours.
