Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.

I have a hard time believing Summit Dev has time for a day job! 😂

I feel every bug is patched same/next day and they keep constantly adding to the feature set. There have been a ton of upgrades this year, and it was perfect to me once they added custom user tags, so now everything is just a bonus.

I like all their decisions and they take feedback in what works for us, and at this point you can turn almost anything on/off so you get what you want.

    the dev seems very dedicated, that's why I'll give summit another try later. quick links don't work yet, not all the setting toggles l are functionally tied yet to the features. there are also several tiny post/link/layout issues that I notice but don't have to deal with on jerboa.

    I'm interested to see where summit goes, it is the only other lemmy client I used for more than a couple hours.

    I've test driven a majority of the apps at this point, and I think the variety of apps we have to choose from is impressive. They all feel pretty different too, so everyone should be able to find what works for them.

    I think it was Connect I kept installed longest other than Summit and the discontinued Liftoff. I was a huge Boost fan on Reddit, but never jelled with the Lenny implementation.

    me too on boost!

    boost was the only way i used reddit, nothing else came close.

    I can't tell what's different in the implementation here, but it does not click.

    jerboa for lemmy is the closest to the simplicity I enjoyed in boost for reddit, and I do think summit merits another look in a month or two

    Boost still looked nice, but the posting UI was terrible for me. I couldn't figure out how to do half the things I wanted to do, and since I became a regular poster using a ton of media and formatting, it was just a no-go.

    The dev has done a lot to help with my specific use cases, and I haven't started since. I gave everything a look around the end of the year to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything, but at this point I don't feel I'm missing a thing from the experience.

    I like the apps are all independent in that we can try one or all and hop between them at will without losing anything.
