Not ready yet, but almost there!

Sync is good but Boost is better

[โ€“] mycroftholmess@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Boost is essentially the Apollo equivalent of Android. A simple but functional UI. Customisable UI but not ambitious. Well thought out.

We're all anxious to get back on Boost and launch the rocket ๐Ÿš€ so I hope you take it as support and not pressure. Having a blast with Voyager for now, but Boost was always where it was at for me. Can't wait to give it a shot when you're ready to release it!

Do you know what kind of pricing model you'll use? Will Boost for Lemmy be a separate purchase for removing ads, or do you intend to have a restore purchases button?

No pressure but I can't wait to be back on Boost!

Thank you for the years on Reddit! Can't wait to have boost for lemmy!

Super appreciative to have Sync for Lemmy to use in the meantime, but it's only increased my appetite for the real deal - Boost for life!

[โ€“] Mori@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I can't wait!

[โ€“] ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs 8 points 1 year ago

I'm eager to try but more than happy to wait.

[โ€“] mojo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update!

[โ€“] Gruntyfish@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yay! Thank you for all of your hard work on boost! I'm super excited to use boost with lemmy!

[โ€“] Acorns@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Hurry up and take my money ๐Ÿ’ต

[โ€“] shashi154263@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

almost there!

Wow! Good to hear. Can't wait to be back on Boost.

[โ€“] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Take your time and thanks for the effort :D

[โ€“] Rambler@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Nice to hear.

Quick! Get them!

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

Thanks. I donated a few bux earlier in the year, before Reddit started the API thing. When Boost for Lemmy becomes a reality I'm gonna donate a few more bux to show appreciation.

[โ€“] mbryson@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update! Take your time, as great work always needs sufficient time to be prepared! Thank you for undertaking this transition, and I'm eagerly awaiting the release!

[โ€“] ekZepp@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

When it's ready i guess.

IIRC Boost was ad free without paying for it, which is what matters to my broke but ad hating ass.

[โ€“] wildcardology@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

That's what I love about boost. You barely notice the ads. But I bought it anyway out of respect for the dev.

Yeah, I forgot it had ads sometimes because for the most part, they weren't invasive at all.

Sometimes a bottom bar ad appeared which was annoying but it didn't appear until near the end for me for some reason.

[โ€“] ThreeHalflings@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It had a bottom banner. Dunno if you could turn it off for free?

[โ€“] shashi154263@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No, you couldn't. However, it was offered for cheap in discounts.

[โ€“] Timou@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking forward to returning to Boost. I've been experimenting with Sync, but the high prices (even though I don't intend to use the features that are locked behind them) and the fanboys are pushing me away.

[โ€“] Socialphilosopher@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I deleted sync, even though I was using sync before. For now, Summit is better for me. Free and fluid. No ads. In fact, $20 is not a lot of money if you live in a developed country. Unfortunately, it's a lot of money for my country.

[โ€“] PrinterElf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LJ added region specific pricing a day or so ago, check for app updates, or add your country to the list: https://lemmy.world/comment/2020246
