I've been a supporter going back years. Hell, I even bought the Reddit Boost knowing it would stop working, but just to support the dev.

But this app has more bugs than a termite mound, and I'm at the breaking point.

There are bugs that have been here for 2 YEARS that are still present.

Ok, maybe this side project isn't for this dev. I need an app that works.

What bugs are you noticing? I've found it fairly bug free.

Hide/MarkRead functionality is broken. No amount of Settings adjustments or install/reinstall/clear/etc will keep the problem from returning.

Interface functionality constantly disappearing and failing to reappear, especially when switching to/from Piefed.

Nothing works, really.

I just need this to show me things, let me hide them. Work without constantly breaking. 2 years is long enough to wait.

I mean, just from a quick scan of the community, you've made one post pointing out a bug and the dev responded, but you didn't do much to describe if/why his posted solution didn't work for you.

Curious what you're seeing for bugs. I haven't noticed much myself, but granted I'm probably not using all the features.

Just browse this very community to see all the bugs people are complaining about.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The only thing that keeps me going back to the browser on Lemmy is mod tools/logs and messages not properly being marked "read"

I think it's a great interface, but I do feel like if you compare it directly to reddit boost it could leave a little lacking, that speaks more towards reddit site issues being a disadvantage over API apps than anything about Boost for Lemmy though.

App works fine for me, I guess move on if you're not happy and are at breaking point. Why be this streased about an app?

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

App works fine for me.

Anecdotic, I know. Just like your complaint.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, here's your update.

I'm on Voyager now. It actually works. Wild, hey.

Goodbye Boost forever. I supported you WAY beyond what you gave me back. I'm done waiting for this shattered app to work.

FYI: you're a bitchy Twatwaffle.

App is fine and better without you.
