So Sync's UI is good for you, you have used applications that make you kinda got used to Sync. It's called anecdotal evidence I think, when you make conclusions based in single test case. I'm happy for you. I like Sync UI best of all too, I tried multiple Reddit clients and Sync was most convenient for me.

Never seen an intuitive UI. Been on Linux since 2004, was working on company-provided Macbook and struggled with UI, was very happy to abandon it. I have Windows as a gaming OS, dual boot configuration with my Arch Linux, and let me tell you I game on Windows like twice a month, absurdity of this OS makes me not want to game.

For me the most intuitive UI is the one I built on Linux, with I3wm and a lot of custom scripts. This surely will not be intuitive for you.

Universally intuitive UI is a myth.

edit: UI designers, using right tools, definitely can and do make better UI, UI better suited for target audience, better working right out of the box. Keyword is "target audience". One can't say Windows UI is more intuitive, it's UI a lot of people got used to. "Intuitive" has very different meaning AFAIK.

Yeah, but I'm using Sync exactly because I'm using Linux lol. Much more convenient and polished, and there's no such thing as intuitive UI, there's only UI you got used to.

what messaging app do you use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] lattenwald@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Telegram for family, friends, work and actually for everything I can think of.

Discord for gaming with friends, not as a messenger but as voice comms mainly.

Whatsapp for very legacy stuff, haven't had a notification in a couple of years. Maybe it's time to uninstall, finally.

petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere. in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

I would agree with you if threads didn't choose to avoid market with decent consumer protection laws, EU.

They aren't launching at EU for a reason, and that's good enough for me to take a stance against them.

Using Sync for Reddit as a marketing tool come July 1st is more urgent than building the MVP in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Having limited resources one has to choose the best way to apply them. Sync for Reddit has huge loyal userbase at Android camp, why would one abandon them? Any valid reason at all?

iPhone app might be a priority for apollo and what else do they have there, for the same reasons.
