I've moved to Thunder, it's open source. If it gets abandoned, there's a chance someone will pick it up and keep developing it.

Pretty sure it's been over a year. As much as I love sync can't justify the high price for a broken app. Summit is the closest I've found for a replacement.

It's a damn shame because Sync is absolutely excellent, but it's already had several quite severe bugs gone unfixed for over a year now, and it will stop working altogether with Lemmy 1.0.

If you're looking for an alternative Summit has been great, and the developer is super active and responsive. It's without a doubt the best alternative, in my opinion.

Afaik, nobody has heard from him, even via the play store

But that is a habit of his. He'll be active right around an update and then vanish for a year or more.

Nice guy, friendly, just not reliable in terms of communications

Voyager is a really solid alternative, and with lots of visual tweaking I've got it close to how sync looked.

Yeah, fingers crossed he comes back. Even just a check in message would be appreciated.

I'm hoping he's okay. I understand if he's going through something personal and just needs time.
