Just want to say thank you to Connect dev Kuro for making Connect for Lemmy. Amidst all this hype for Sync and Boost, Connect remains ad- and subscription-free without compromising quality. This app is bomb and I won’t be veering off to competitors anytime soon. Bonus points for being Canadian too! 🍁 Thank you!

Edit: adding donation link to buy dev Kuro a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kurononeko

    Thank you for the support. I think Connect is 90% feedback driven at this point haha. My goal has always been getting more people using Lemmy so monetization isn’t really a focus for me as I’m doing this for fun. Sending you love back fellow canuck!

      As a foldable user, one of the things I was most excited for Sync, is their ability to adapt to the foldable display both on the inner and outer display. For example, when you are using sync on the outer screen then open up your fold, it utilizes the “extra half” of the screen to work as another pane for viewing content without interrupting what you’re doing on the left side. Do you have any plans to implement something similar?

        Possibly, it sounds like a 2-column layout similar to a tablet? I know Tablet UI has been requested a lot lately.

          Yes, exactly that actually.

          I saw that Google is pushing developers towards making tablet friendly UI and if they do, the app gets shown on the featured section of the Google Play Store.

      I tried Sync for a bit, but I agree with the other posters that the pricing model is a little outrageous.

      Have you considered adding a donation option through google play? I’m not sure what the process is like, but it might make it easier for people to donate.

        Permanently removing ads in Sync is just 20$ though; I wouldn’t call it ‘outrageous’ for such a feature-rich app. The more expensive options are there if you want to further support the dev.

      Just chiming in to say you’ve made a great app and all the updates have been nothing but quality. Thanks for the hard work! Do you accept donations?

      E: just saw the donation link further down in the thread. Thanks again!

      You’ve made a very fine app, especially impressive given how quickly it’s come together. You should be proud!
