My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks. What should make the first release?

    I’ve been a Relay devotee, but Sync is a great app too, and I’m really looking forward to 1-3 months from now when we’ll likely have a wide variety of apps to choose from.

    It just prompts me to pause and consider how poorly Reddit managed to handle this situation. Rather than offer reasonable API terms, or even a normal timeline, which would have been a win-win-win scenario, they’ve:

    • Motivated a large chunk of their userbase to join competing sites
    • Driven their 3rd-party developers away, some of which will be creating apps for those competing sites, likely bringing their users with them
    • Alienated their free labor force of moderators
    • Abandoned their users who have accessibility issues
    • Whipped up the rabble into a mob. The internet loves to grab a pitchfork, for the lolz as much as anything
    • Spun up a monthlong parade of worst media coverage they’ve ever suffered across not just tech media, but all media. Which is really quite staggering accomplishment given their previous controversies.
    • …in the year that they are aiming to IPO.

    Fantastic news! Sync was my favorite client for Reddit by a wide margin; excited to continue supporting your work LJDawson :)

    I’m using Jerboa right now, but I’m 100% down for Sync. It’s just that a FOSS app really hits differently hahahaha

    Hopefully it fixes this garbage…kinda sick of the multiple posts for the same thing across each community as it fills my screen with essentially copy/paste

      You’ve subscribed to a whole bunch of communities where this is relevant news, it’s not surprising that you’d get multiple copies of the post. One solution may be community grouping, currently an issue being worked on. Another solution might be for you to subscribe to a wider variety of communities.

        I saw somebody suggest that so long as you use the built in cross post feature the posts should be combined on web. That would make this a mobile only issue. I can’t attest either way so if somebody more knowledgeable could chip in that would be appreciated.

      I think you probably just want better sorting. He cross-posted to multiple communities at the same time. Browsing by or something similar to new (and therefore not allowing upvotes/downvotes to filter the content) you get things as they’re posted.
