Anxiously waits in anticipation
That's great news, as someone who bought Sync for Reddit pro all those years ago, and who just heard about/signed up for Lemmy in the last 5 minutes.
Looking forward to trying it out and learning more about Lemmy!
Super excited to see where this goes! :D
Good night, sweet prince. Not goodbye, only until next time.
I keep catching myself clicking the old sync app out of habit, it's like muscle memory at this point when I unlock my phone π Is the Lemmy update coming as a patch to the reddit app, or will there be a new download when the time comes? Just wondering if I should delete the old app to try and break my addiction in the interim.

I've been using Sync for many years, and I'll be switching over. I started with sh.itjust.works, and have moved to kbin.social because it supports a proper OAuth login process... I've read some people suggesting that kbin is a slightly differnet API than other federation sources, but... if it takes time, I'll wait, no worries. Or I'll create another account somewhere else... I think porting accounts and such is something that needs to be better handled, as does such a lot of the UI across all the different federation instances, but hopefully that's something Sync can handle :) Thanks for your hard work, and you can guarantee that if you offer it, I'll be going lifetime subscriber again. Totally worth it.
This is great, I can't wait!
Cannot wait! Thanks for all of your hard work. I'll be joining Sync for Lemmy as soon as its available.
Sync is/was one of my favourite apps since 2013 - looking forward to seeing what the Lemmy experience is like.
Exciting! Are you starting from scratch or are you able to copy portions from the old code over?
Pretty sure a lot of the boiler plate code would be the same like upvote/downvote, etc.
Just that instead of telling reddit that user pressed upvote, now the app needs to tell lemmy.
Exactly the UI and the model/backend are properly separated if it follows a design pattern like MVC. So it would be pretty trivial to replace the Reddit API calls with Lemmy API calls. Except for the things that donβt exactly translate one on one.
Man. You are way more optimistic about the promises of MVC than I am. Yes it can definitely make things easier for a transition like this but I would not call it trivial.

Yeah, probably. Although I know with APIs it's not always as easy because one uses HATEOAS, the other's entities look entirely different and stuff like that. Just curious whether the data structure is roughly the same, I never looked at Lemmy's Code or the Reddit API

Let's go!
Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted
You should start doing pop-ups daily when opening the app.
Like saying, "it's no meta Mondays today!"
Or, "new app update features: xyz"
