Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

The Google Play beta process was a real pain, but I'm so glad to be back.

This feels so good. Like putting on those old jeans and finding out that despite it being a decade old, it still fits you.

I grabbed the testing version because I'm very excited for Boost to return! Unfortunately I found an issue right away. It appears that the app doesn't support 2FA for instances that use it. I got an error stating "missing totp token."

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, a bug showing the field when required. Fixed for the next beta

I'm currently getting an error about missing my TOTP token. Have you implemented 2-factor authentication support?

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was implemented but there is a bug preventing the field to show up. Fixed for the next beta. Thanks!

Same issue here. Surprised more people don't have totp enabled.

I used to use Boost for Reddit and I will give this a try!

Is this app going to be open source? Because I had a bad experience with another Lemmy app recently stuffed full of trackers that I really don't want to repeat.

Edit: never mind, I just saw in another thread that it's not, so it's not for me.

Which app is that? So we know to avoid it.

Can you reduce the contrast of these lines Can you reduce the contrast of these lines

There's this general problem:

My password was too long for Sync and Voyager and now also Boost; I've been using Jerboa since it worked in that client.

Since Boost also had the issue I changed my password to a shorter one.

The old one was something like

Friday-Ramble-Patriot-Apricot5-Tractor-Litigator-Shove-Antivirus

... and the new one is shorter and is causing no issues.

Amazing work

[โ€“] Justly0250@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

[โ€“] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay, it's here! My notes so far:

When I tap a comment in my replies, it takes me straight to replying to it. It'd be great if it took me to the comment in context under the post so I can upvote, downvote, reply etc rather than just reply.

I'm getting errors trying to upload images that I took with my phone camera, presumably because they're large. I'm able to upload them in Voyager, but it'd be awesome to be able to do it all from Boost.

A feature I really like from LiftOff is the ability to crop images before I upload them, could this be added?

Thank you :)

That was a bug, fixed!

That was the expected behavior

When I press install it wants me to enter my password. When I'm back to press Install nothing happens. Whaaat.

Edit: works after about 45min. Patience ain't easy.

Edit2: You mean I can remove ads in this beautiful piece of work of an app for a normal price? Guess what! I paid! Nice work!

[โ€“] BenDover@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks promising. So excited!

[โ€“] Asuracharya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm here ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] ZosoRocks3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Posting from Boost, already using it so much more the 3 previous apps I had (Jerboa, Voyager and can't remember). Feels like home. Thanks so much.

[โ€“] Seudo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks great!

[โ€“] Aeolian@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's good to be back!
