No more Eternity?

It sucks this app didn't last. It's really the best possible lemmy client imo. Seemed like it was making progress to. Oh well, maybe someone else will puck up the torch eventually

No more Eternity?
Per the dev on 2025-02-26: https://lemmy.toldi.eu/comment/4911612
I still intend to work on it, but I can only do it in my free time....and I don’t have much of that right now.
I'm still gonna use it until something fundamental breaks. Imo it's the best looking lemmy app.
- Mine to. I still use infinity for reddit
Im using it till it breaks or until another adds navigation swipe gestures
- What swipe gestures are you looking for? Summit and Thunder have some swipe gesture configurability.
  
  I just want to be able to swipe left to go back out of a post. Thunder could not do it last I checked but I'll check out Summit
There are some code updates to refactor API call two months ago on Codeberg.
After a handful of tweaks, I'm fine with Thunder.
- I moved from Eternity to Thunder, then to Summit.
It's a shame, it was the client I found that stayed out of the way the most. It's very function over form which is great. Still usable for now, but I think when Lemmy v1 rolls out there will be breaking changes that require updates.
I've moved over to thunder which took a bit of tweaking to get right but it's a good alternative once you have your settings in place. It's one of the most customisable clients so even though I didn't like the stock experience with the gesture voting, it's easy to tweak.
Blorp looks pretty good as well, it's got a bit of a retro vibe like eternity and I like the pixel art they use to represent your instance. I haven't switched over to it because it still has a couple issues like not being able to quick-save images but it's nearly there.
- Blorp dev here. If you make a list of things that are missing, I’ll try and add them. Save image is on my todo list.
  
  Thanks, the only big issue besides that I've had is it conflicts sometimes with android's gesture navigation. It's fine at the start of posts, but if you scroll down into comments and then swipe right, android tries to go back but blorp's gestures take me to the sidebar with the accounts.
  Great app though, it's got the best out of the box experience/theming of all the clients I've tried. I've been trying piefed on it and loving it so far.
I really like Voyager
- Voyager is okay, but nothing even comes close to eternity imo
As some one who uses Infinity (KhoalaS fork specificly bcus no additional setup) and dœsnt plan to switch any time sꝏn , chosee Eternity bcus same interface . Also themeable how I like with most colours customisable . Hope development picks back up again bcus want to keep using these clients
