Hey @ljdawson@lemmy.world - I'm sure you're swamped with the actual work of building the app, but have you considered building awareness for the app through a Pre-Registration release on Google Play?

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9859047

Seems like it could be a great way to help people who are interested in a top-notch Lemmy client find Sync... and perhaps also help people who want to know when Sync for Lemmy releases, but don't want to share their emails on SyncApps.io

Hoping to get this up this week.

Good, good. I've got some Rewards money to burn on the Play Store by mid-August. Hoping to get a Pro purchase in there. 👽

What benefits did Pro use give you on Sync for Reddit?

[–] Razp@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

For me the biggest benefit was supporting the developer. But to answer your question is no ads.

Do your thang sir :) we know you'll kill it.

[–] Razp@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sync when. Pro when. Ultra when. Lifetime when.

Just kidding, take all the time you need.

For a split second I thought this was for Sync and went to search for it on the store.

[–] 93Akkord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Me to man.. me too.

wtf do you have against Boost?

[–] ZodiacPi@programming.dev 82 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing. It just seemed like it would be in bad taste to share a competing app in the official community dedicated to Sync, so I figured I would blur it out.

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're all friends here. Just different flavours of Lemmy Apps to suit people's tastes.

A user got banned for mentioning Thunder for Lemmy I think

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's just Japanese boost now

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Japanese boost where lemmynsfw is the default instance

[–] plantstho@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Hadn't heard of it so I clicked that link and noticed it collects, among other things, location data with no way to request removal. So that's my answer

[–] First@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like it likes collecting data

[–] ljdawson@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finished setting this up yesterday. Just waiting for Google's approval

[–] RunningWolfie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you for all your hard work! Looking forward to the app

[–] CaptionAdam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost was so much better then the reddit app, since it was killed I haven't touched reddit.

[–] shashi154263@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm still using Boost.
