Been using Sync and love it, but there are bugs and the dev disappears for months at a time. Is Boost regularly maintained or should I just switch to a FOSS app?
Ruben is active but IMHO not very transparent about when he intends to release updates. So it’s usually a surprise whenever the next update drops
Ruben is active but I have switched to using voyager. The developer is extremely active with non stop updates.
Thanks!
Raccoon if you like the boost feel, or Voyager…
I am uploading a beta version today 🙋
Haha like the developer now has to give their attendance!
Do what Foss do you suggest?
I had a few issues with Boost for Reddit, Rubén responded each time I posted and either helped me solve it or promised a future bug fix
To say he’s active is an understatement.
I bought Boost for Lemmy day one.
Ruben isn’t super quick to put out updates but he makes up for it in quality. He was slower than some other devs to get Boost for Lemmy out the door but the first release was damn near perfect, stable, fast and only very minor bugs. Personally I prefer quality over constant updates.
These developers owe us nothing and it takes an incredible amount of time and lots of money to develop an app of this quality so no matter which app you choose consider paying and/or donating.
I love Sync, but it still doesn’t have working notifications unlike Boost. Also Boost is very reasonably priced in comparison!
