(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.
I kept using it, until last week ^^"
Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.
I don't think it is, although that's kind of the trade off with premium client apps
Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it's under the GNUv3 license lmao
Oh I had no idea! I just assumed it was closed source because I had to pay to get the Pro version. Still an app worth paying for though
If you downloaded Slide off of the google playstore, the premium version was paid as a way to help support the dev. If you downloaded it off of F-Droid, or directly from Github, the premium features were free.

oh really? yeah lets do this! I still have Slide installed on my phone, excited for Lemmy version
Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app
Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.
Yes please, I just uninstalled slide last week. While some things would bug out ocassionally, I couldn't imagine using any other app with reddit. I'm on Jerboa now and its just not the same.
YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this
Awesome! I tried various 3rd party reddit apps over the years and stuck with slide the longest. Always liked its simplicity, ux design and focus on pictures. I'm an iOS user though, anything planned for that? (I'm on Mlem beta meanwhile.)
Yes! This was my favorite app.
Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!
Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
Wow no way... Slide has always been my favorite 3rd party app, and I always felt like the only one using it when I'd mention it on reddit. What an awesome surprise!

Looks good.
I'll wait for a FOSS app. Redreader supposedly will support Lemmy in the future.

Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!
That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!

Yayyyyyyy! I am definitely paying for this when it comes out
Nice
Wow, that was fast. I love that there's a lot of interest in creating apps for the fediverse.
Never used Slide myself, but I'm happy to see app ecosystem starting to grow aroung Lemmy! Way to go!
You son of a bitch I'm in.
can't wait to test it out.
❤️
Slide is the very first Android app that pulled me away from Reddit is Fun until Slide got abandoned. To see it resurrected for use on Lemmy would be a dream. I loved Slide interface. Was the app I preferred over Apollo too on Apple aside from the performance issues it didn't get sorted out before being abandoned, which led me back to Apollo.
Wow, I remember having slide like a decade ago, I think. That'd be absolutely beautiful.
When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which ie very close to Slide regarding usability. One thing Joey did better was zoomable videos. How cool is that!?
I really hope for a comeback of Slide as an Lemmy app!
Ohh yes!! Here we go. Slide was the App that started my Reddit Addiction. Best interface imo. Used it till a few weeks ago.
Lovely. Slide was (is?) my Reddit app of choice. As an open source app, Slide and Lemmy would go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!
