Hey all. Like the title says, I've been using Sync pretty much ever since it was first released way back in early Reddit days. It's truly a great client, but I'm into trying out any new client to see if there's a better experience out there. I've tried dozens - all the big ones and many of the stairs startups. This continued even after I have up on Reddit and migrated to Lemmy. Those were rough times as there really wasn't anything close to Sync during that transition period. Then, Sync for Lemmy hit and all was good again. Nothing ever replaced Sync. Ever.

That is, until I discovered Summit. I'm telling ya, you have an amazing, if not the best, Lemmy client out there. I can't imagine how many hours you have put into this program because it is so incredibly feature-rich and extremely solid. I've been using it for about a week now and usually by this point I end up revertng back to sync with other programs. But not this one.

I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for making what I see as the only real competition to one of the best Lemmy clients out there (IMO). I subscribe to the community and will be happy to give my suggestions on how to make this app better so more people will be tempted to join it!

Really appreciate all the work you've done. Please keep it up!

Summit is one of the better lemmy apps.

I just wish any of those would work in a multi-column display mode. Even on phones, it's better.

Eternity does this.

Unfortunately development seems to be a bit slow, but it started from the infinity Reddit client so it has lots of features.

Yeah, boost does too. The problem is that all of the reddit apps that came over lag way behind. Since sync looks the best, I stick with it over the other two.

100% the same here. After Sync for Reddit, all Lemmy apps felt ranging from janky to ugly and unusable. I was so happy when Sync for Lemmy launched. Unfortunately the updates died down and the dev went silent for too long, so I had to search for an alternative. All of the other apps still feel janky or ugly or both, but Summit actually covers everything I need from a Lemmy app. I still think Sync is a little bit better in terms of design but not by much. And Summit has other advantages so even if Sync comes back alive, I don't plan to switch back.
