I would much prefer this piece of shit die in obscurity, thanks

    Because apps with ads (specifically Sync that I use) have better UX and more features than anything open-source. Sorry but that’s it.

      I guess everyone has their own level of tolerance for ads.

      To me, anything ad supported has a terrible “UX”. I’d put up with a lot to avoid ads.

      Obviously you don’t care about ads and that’s fine too

        Yes because ads are the only thing making a difference in the comfort of using an app. Comfortable design (that doesn’t try to cram a million things into a small phone screen) and intuitive navigation mean nothing I guess.

            Perhaps you could get off your high open-source horse and try reading what I actually wrote. I’m talking about cramming in a million buttons and 0.1 line height so there are 20 comments shown at once. I don’t need my mobile app to look like old.reddit.com, I need it to be actually readable and usable from a small screen. Ads (which are shown in the feed and can be scrolled past) have nothing to do with that.

              Lol sync users are so brainwashed and will say anything to justify it. Connect is so nice and usable, i haven’t had a single issue with it since I started using it months ago. Jerboa has also come a long way, but was a little raw at the time and so I mostly got used to connect.
