I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

    I was using Jerboa for the first month. It’s good, functional. However, with all due respect to the penguin people, it felt like working on Linux. Just a bit too utilitarian and function focused.

    Yesterday I installed Sync and it was like switching to Windows/OSX. So much more polish, much more pleasant experience.

    On Reddit I was using BaconReader - and had no idea Sync looked (and felt) this good. Great UX, though still has some ways to go. The comment font size when typing is super tiny!

      As a Linux guy, i disagree. I don’t know what version of Linux (or how long ago) you tried. Sync is more like Linux, so many options and features to make it exactly what you want.

        Maybe it’s not just the OS vs OS but more like Gimp vs Photoshop. Both accomplish pretty much the same tasks, but one feels way more polished than the other.

        Maybe this will work: Sync feels like a Product, while Jerboa feels like a Project.

        There are pros and cons to both approaches. I happen to be looking for a clean, pretty app that integrates with my Android 13 theming etc.
