OK, I looked at it. Someone said it is abandoned!
Last updated 6 weeks ago
Yep
Were you thinking of Sync maybe? That hasn't been updated for almost 2 years.
If it is, it's surprisingly up to date. I migrated from Jerboa to Voyager due to technical reasons, and I like both.
Yes, I like them all what I just test... This I write from Voyager
I can guarantee you that Blorp has the best support. The Blorp dev will read any and every post/comment that mentions "Blorp".
Source: I'm the developer lol
Is Summit open source?
searches
Huh.
It has a GitHub project, but that project has no source in it. It's hosting the compiled releases, but no source.
https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy
I don't see anything actually saying that it it is open source.
EDIT: Each release does appear to be bundled with a source tarball. I guess that the author just isn't...actually using the git functionality of GitHub to version-control it. shrugs
EDIT2: Nope. That source tarball just contains an essentially-empty copy of a snapshot of the GitHub git repo. It's not a "real" source tarball.
https://github.com/idunnololz/summit is where the source is
Weird. Thanks.
There's some history behind it. First the author didn't want to have it open source, iirc due to some bad experiences with having their source code open? Don't remember exactly. The repo you linked existed for bug reporting basically. Then later on this changed and the source code got released. I still don't know if the author is interested in getting public contributions to the codebase.
Regardless, the author makes some very pleasant software, and is super responsive at fixing issues/implementing feature requests. Hats entirely off to them.
Thank you. A few corrections/clarifications here:
- https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy was created because some users wanted an alternative to Google Play Store and so I made that repo to publish APKs back when Summit was closed source. This also has synergy with Obtanium. The repository is still actively used today. New releases are automatically built and published to that repository as APKs.
- Bug reports should be made to !summit@lemmy.world. I rarely check the Github for issues (sorry).
- One of the reasons why it was closed source was because I didn't want to accept contributions. That has not changed, and likely will never change unless I retire the project. Especially now when vibe code is rampant.
If you have it FOSS the community can check it and you gain more trust.
Summit is in my closer circle of apps am looking at maybe using. Why don't you put it on f-droid as play store alternative?
The source tarball is always autogenerated from the git repository state at the release point's commit.
Basically it it open source?
I tried Thunder and Jerboa, ran with thunder for a bit, then tried Voyager because I liked the idea of the user-specific up/down vote tracking (I.e. if you up/down vote this comment on Voyager, it will increment/decrement the comment score as usual but, for you specifically, it will also show a cumulative score next to my username if you see me somewhere else.) They were all fairly similar.
I'm using Boost.

Is it FOSS?
Yes. And its pretty good. Eternity also worth a try.
Last update a long time ago...
Yeah thats the one issue lol. Functionally it's fine.
I've tried Jerboa, Connect and Voyager. By now these all have the options to customize the view exactly how I want it. (Dark mode, tiny list, thumbnails on the right.) I don't care about clients that can't do that.
Jerboa was kind of buggy. Maybe it's better now, but that's what made me switch.
Connect has a lot of options. The developer is active in the Lemmy community trying to catch up with the bugs that somehow creep into every update. It has the superior text editor of these and also its own tagging system.
Voyager, previously known as Wefwef, is basic and stable. Maybe too basic.
I'm currently using Voyager, but I sometimes still use Connect when I need to quote text from the post I'm replying to while writing. For instance if I need to quote two separate paragraphs or whatever. Can't do that easily in Voyager. Also when I want to embed pictures in a reply, then Connect is ever so slightly easier. Small differences.
If I were to recommend just one for a new user who doesn't care about customization and weird options, I'd have to say Voyager, even if I myself prefer Connect. Voyager is easy to use and it's stable.
I'm Thunder user. It has all-I-need customization optuions. No, I haven't tried other apps.
Thunder and Voyager are my favorites on Android, but Mlem on iOS is my overall favorite.
I just installed Connect from Google play. Is it FOSS? I didn't find it on f-droid.
I like Boost except for the fact it has ads and isn't FOSS. Very fast on my slow ass 2013 phone..
I want FOSS and I want apps without adds. Thank you for your comment.
