At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I’ve decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered “FOSS” but this is a huge step I think.

As I’m voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

    Gonna download now and give it a try. Currently using Boost but trying a few different options to see what works best. A lot of people suggested Voyager but I didn’t like it very much.

      Boost is good but it has ads and it hasn’t been updated for long. Voyager is nice but I’m not happy with the iOS design on Android

      I’m trying it out right now, it doesn’t feel very polished compared to others I main, like Sync or Boost.

        I agree in some ways and not in others. Having no ads gives Summit a big leg up for me, but there are some interfaces that aren’t super intuitive.

        On Android (not sure if it’s on iOS) I like that it feels more native than boost.

          Ads can be bad but Boost has a one-time small payment to remove ads, very good deal, and the ads on Sync don’t work (for me at least) 99% of the time, so I just see an empty space most of the time where the ads would be. 😁

            Sounds like someone has a pihole.

            If that’s the case and the ads still work 1% of the time, maybe update the blocklist?

              That’s the thing, I don’t 🤷‍♂️

      Thunder is my personal recommendation with Raccoon being my next choice.

      If you’re interested that is. Otherwise just pretend I was never here.

        Tried Raccoon just now, uninstalled instantly. Not very polished compared to other apps. My personal opinion.

          Good thing there’s so many options for people to find what they’re looking for.

            That’s the beauty 🥰 And no corporate authority that says the apps have to be removed for any reason ✊

        I’ve been a Thunder user for a while. Just tried out Summit, and it has been much smoother and polished for me.

        Using Thunder right now. Yet another app that doesn’t have properly functioning code formatting buttons for both inline code markup and code blocks. And it makes no distinction between single back ticks and triple back ticks. Ah well.

          Open an issue? Devs are pretty responsive.

            I might do that if I find the time, yeah ❤️
