Just keep in mind that MVP in software means minimum viable product. Ie, it might not be initially as feature rich as sync for reddit is on it's last version.
I'd probably pay on faith regardless, but really it just needs to be better than Jerboa in order to get traction.
Count me in ... I already bought lifetime sync before leaving reddit a few weeks ago ... after years of using the app and not paying for it until the end ... I'm more than willing now to pay for the app from the start
I bought sync for reddit, i will buy it for Lemmy.
Sync was easily the best experience for me when using Reddit and I'll put some money down again for that level of polish but for Lemmy.
Instantly the best Lemmy app. FREAKING AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
Heck I might buy it just to stick it to fu/spez
I'd even do a $50 founders pledge/edition or some junk like that. Let's get this rolling LJ!
sync pro user here... would gladly pay again for lemmy sync... I still find myself inadvertently hitting the sync app almost as a reflex when I unlock my phone, lol
Using Sync for years. Bought Pro, subscribed to Ultra. I'll gladly pay for whatever you create!
You are THE goat.
I didn't even realize there was an ultra. Would sign up with ultra here. I used sync pro for years and although I haven't Uninstalled it yet, I've removed it from my home screen, effectively removing it from my daily usage. Jerboa for now, but there are a number of issues. Can't wait for this...
Bought Ultra last week as a thank-you. Will buy again!
You and me both, I've used the reddit one for about a decade and it effectively was reddit as far as I'm concerned. Lemmy's PWA is nice enough but I'll be giddy to get back into the familiar flow.
yup! very excited to support this :)
Likewise, definitely ready to throw money at it!
my wallet is ready! so glad to see @ljdawson@lemmy.world supporting lemmy!
im curious, is this a completely new app from scratch, or will it be able to repurpose a lot of the existing reddit app for lemmy?
My wallet is ready to buy whatever the highest tier is. Based on my Sync for Reddit experience it will be well worth it!
I used Sync for 10 years, would gladly support LJ again :)
I haven't been to reddit since the strike, but just went to view the r/syncforlemmy post: Looks like reddit is trying to suppress this announcement on mobile (of course) with a massive popup that won't let you view it. You can get around it by viewing as desktop though.
Man, I bought sync waaaaay back when it first came out. It's such a good app and the dev is really forward thinking. I eventually moved to iOS but when I heard that sync had a beta app on iOS I grabbed that as well! Now I'm back on Android and reddit decided to kill itself... Needless to say, I'm really happy to hear that sync is coming to Lemmy!
Count me in! Ready to buy it again, woohoo 🎉
You can always support ljdawson@lemmy.world's Patreon if you want to support his efforts!
Honestly I've been a quiet default reddit app user but I'll pay to support a Lemmy sync
Throwing in my support too. Used Sync for years!
How does Sync compare to something like RedditIsFun?
The aesthetic is fantastic. LJ knows how to make a beautiful app.
