It's close enough, it's way too niche for a full comm on its own. If it's close enough for Phoronix to write an article for it, I'd argue it's close enough for this comm
Aw fuck, that sounds so good, but alas, I have no salsa :(
Not by itself though.
Well you see, I had started out toasting pieces of bread for it, but at some point I decided that was taking too long and just started eating it straight LMAO
We're still in the timeline where the Fire Phone was a commercial success, right? And Bernie Sanders is in his second term as President?
Nobody tell him, just let them live in peace 😌
WebApps are just...so laggy, Voyager is prob the least laggy React app I've ever seen...but there're still noticeable points where it is
Native UIs, while not entirely immune to lag, is tons better and generally use far less resources to achieve it
For a technical difference:
Voyager/Blorp use React which is basically JavaScript and typically requires the app to ship with everything needed to run JavaScript. Each app runs a "mini-browser". Though it has its pros because you only need to develop one app for all platforms.
Native UIs use the UI elements provided by the OS and each platform you release the app on must be developed separately, but it can also be optimized with less effort and less resources.
I don't even know where to start with this. It's only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.
Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.
He has an alternative donation platform. If you contact him, he might be open to giving you an APK if you donate through that. Orr you could just donate through that and install an "acquired" APK. Orr just donate through that, block ads system wide and have it installed through a proxied store (e.g. Aurora Store). For the longest time I didn't even realize boost had ads because of my ad blocking LMAO
And they're also just better...
Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers and I absolutely despise web wrapper "apps". Boost also beats Voyager in customization (won't comment on Blorp, never tried Blorp)
Booo, Boost is great and absolutely worth the couple bucks, that goes to a solo dev.
The final boss:
Yea, but it just doesn't have the same impact as getting a statement issued with the funny numbers lol
