Rooster, a Lemmy reader

Rooster is an Android app for Lemmy, that is heavily inspired by Boost for Reddit. It focuses on user experience and a good look and feel above anything else.

As a fun project, I started developing an Android app for myself a few weeks ago, because I already missed Boost for Reddit, even though it's still usable. So I took Boost as an inspiration and started working. It's come quite far and I have decided to publish it on Google Play, in case others feel the same way. It's still lacking some features, most notably the ability to see when someone sent you a message or replied to your comments, as well as the ability to create posts, but for casual lurking it's already quite nice I think. It will hit Play Store in a fews days.

I'd also love to be able to download it from F-Droid. For now I'm sticking with Jerboa. It would be a bit weird to use a proprietary app, to access a free network. But still thanks for makung that app. The more good apps there are, the stronger tgd network will get ๐Ÿ˜€

Yes, if it's on F-Droid I will try it out!
