Morning all, Just a quick update to say I’m making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!

Bought Sync back in 2012 and got over a decade of love for it, count me in line for Sync for Lemmy!
Cannot wait! ill be buying pro.
Just subscribed to Lemmy.world because of the message in Sync for Reddit, so I’m definitely looking forward to buy your app again. Still not too sure about the differences between Reddit and Lemmy, other than Lemmy is slow, but it’s probably getting a lot of attention suddenly.

That’s sort of a good problem to have; it means Lemmy is gaining a lot of attention. Hopefully people stick around long enough to reform their communities in Lemmy while people upgrade and add new servers to handle the demand.
Exciting! Are you starting from scratch or are you able to copy portions from the old code over?
Pretty sure a lot of the boiler plate code would be the same like upvote/downvote, etc.
Just that instead of telling reddit that user pressed upvote, now the app needs to tell lemmy.
Yeah, probably. Although I know with APIs it’s not always as easy because one uses HATEOAS, the other’s entities look entirely different and stuff like that. Just curious whether the data structure is roughly the same, I never looked at Lemmy’s Code or the Reddit API
It would be in lemmy’s best interests to make their APIs as close to reddit ones as possible.
It’s a little late for that, Lemmy’s API is mostly in place and already being used.
Exactly the UI and the model/backend are properly separated if it follows a design pattern like MVC. So it would be pretty trivial to replace the Reddit API calls with Lemmy API calls. Except for the things that don’t exactly translate one on one.
Famous last words calling something trivial in engineering. But if there’s anyone that can it’s our man ❤️
Man. You are way more optimistic about the promises of MVC than I am. Yes it can definitely make things easier for a transition like this but I would not call it trivial.
Really excited for this, how have you found working with the Lemmy API’s compared to Reddit’s?
24k!? Dang. I’m really hoping that contributes to the activity over here. Lemmy provides a similar enough experience that, as long as the people come, it’ll be comparable to Reddit for sure.
One question I’ve been curious about: is your goal to make Sync for Lemmy as close as possible to the same experience as Sync for Reddit, minus any changes that are inherently different between Reddit and Lemmy?
He mentioned SfL will be the SfR app but working for Lemmy. Same UI basically
I had only one complaint about Sync Pro - it was too cheap by half, considering all the work you put in over that decade+
I’d have gladly paid a tenner. In fact I used to pay for pro again after I got a new phone lol

I’d recommend go buy his other app(s) in support. I did…After it was no longer working.
Amazing! I cannot wait.
As a Sync Ultra user, would pay again. The quality of Sync is out of this world, I used Reddit just so I’d be able to enjoy a good UX on my phone.
Good luck with the first version!
Wow, that’s a lot of signups !
