Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Thank you @dessalines@lemmy.ml for the update.

I noticed one thing, scrolling has been improved drastically and it has become very smooth.

What was updated that made it buttery smooth?

The biggest performance changes should be from 0.0.56

Due to a compound of factors:

Those factors lead to that we do a lot less recompositions now. Which means that that each frame we do less calculations, "keep the same UI element as before", it is smarter at about detecting elements that stayed the same and should not be recalculated. So each frame is cheaper and it can do thus more per second

In 0.0.60 I have updated the baseline profiles (It ships the app with AOT bindings, instead of which you would get after a week from release on the playstore)

Google does some amazing work, it just takes them a long time. Once this patch lands we should see more optimizations https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/241154852

I also recommend list/small card view, if you prefer the feed to not jump due to images loading in. At some point i'll refactor some infra so that I can Image and post preload feature out. So that it should be able to instantly load those images. But that is quite deep in the backlog.
