Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I did and there was only a change in one file that didn't seem very important. That's what I'm saying. The Github repo was kinda dead too

You can always help out yourself, if you're that concerned

How? I can't even help translations or write a hello world script

You can't, that was probably his bet. He is petty because you pointed out nothing was happening which made you think it is dead, so he has to bring justice to his open source dev masters because they make the magic happen for free so being offended for them is something he can give back.

I mean, you can also always donate to help out the devs, but feel free to misinterpret me and project your own pettiness. Also, if you hate open source that much, why are you even here?

Well it didn't sound like an offend to me. It was a good point. And tbh idk if Jerboa needs much work. It's been quite stable for me. The only issue is stutters when scrolling a profile. I'd like to have the ability to filter or hide posts/comments with specific words like I can on Mastodon though

Does it still stutter in latest version 0.0.67 ?

Yes but only if you swipe. I wish I could send a video but I can't. When I swipe, it shakes for like 1-2 seconds and then swipes. I think it has something to do with the top bar. If I hold the finger when swiping, it works fine

Yes the App bar has an impact, I had already fixed that for the main feed. But I have a made a PR that solves this for the other main screens.

Thank you for your work, mister/miss. I really hope it helps to solve the problem. Now it's an actual photosensitive epilepsy trigger

Did this problem exist before? On what Android version are you? And Jerboa "performance"/"smoothness" should be improving over time. I would like to know if that is not the case for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I think it started around 4 versions ago. Unfortunately I can't remember on which one exactly. I can try to downgrade sometime. The issue appeared on A13 and still remains now after I upgraded to A14. And it doesn't look like just poor performance. It is like a serious bug because it goes mental for a second before proceeding with scrolling. It's like the top bar fails to hide when scrolling, reopens 100 times and makes the whole page slightly shake with the speed of the display's refresh rate.

I guess I need to properly test it someday and report the result. It needs investigation.

I can't reproduce this on Android 14 (Pixel 7 emulator)

I am going to need more info. Which device, a video of the problem, locale, anything relevant

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah that does sound differently than what I had in mind. Not sure how effective that change will be.
