Tried “Memmy” before and right now I like Thunder a bit more. The UI looks cleaner to me, it works well. Good job, I have put it on my phone where I used to have Apollo.
I’m trying it now too, thanks for the comment, but if you’re an ex-Apollo like me, I highly recommend giving a try to Wefwef.app. It’s a web app but you can install it on your screen and looks almost identical to Apollo and feels very much like home. I discovered it today thanks to another comment and I can’t believe this exists.
I have just read about it in a different comment as well, tried it and it does feel a bit like coming home. Thank you for recommending it to me as well, it’s wonderful to see that it gets easier and easier to take part here!
I was sceptical at first, but it’s great! It properly parses repos, it shows you a preview of where you’re about to download from, and if there are multiple assets in a release it lets you pick the right one. And then it does auto-updates just like an F-Droid client!
It’s missing features and performance really starts chugging after a few minutes of scrolling, but updates are in the pipeline. Thunder and Wefwef are the best looking apps so far imo
I haven’t used wefwef yet, but I’m on Liftoff right now it’s pretty good. Mlem and Memmy are okay. So far I haven’t really felt like any of edged ahead.
I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.
