I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It's stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

It's crazy to me how small the Jereboa usage is. It didn't collect or share data and has a great interface. What are these other apps giving that makes you want to use them? Genuinely curious on what I'm missing out on.

    App seems nice and I have no complaints with it but it's not FOSS and it has ads. It would be cool if there were easy ways to make revenue off of FOSS that dosen't rely on donations so I understand why it would be proprietary.

    I used Jerboa until Sync came out.

    I liked it fine, no specific complaints I guess except that there was a lot of "jank" for lack of a better word. It just behaved weirdly sometimes, would be unstable, and had odd interfaces for certain tasks.

    I would not actively recommend against it, but Sync came along and felt like someone refined Jerboa. It was an easy and natural switch.

  • Yes this is my main complaint too with Jerboa, scrolling just feels sluggy, I tried to look into the issue/source-code, but couldn't find the source of it. When Sync came out, everything was buttery smooth and I was sold (though I'm not the biggest fan of the interface, maybe I'll switch to an open-source client again, when there's a more robust less sluggish client again).

    I tried Jerboa and Connect after the Red exodus. They were both alright, but it was still too different from the RIF app that I used on Red. Sync really closed the gap, and feels almost indistinguishable from RIF now.
