I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.

Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

Yeah, I would continue using Liftoff and Voyager. Just because we have sync doesn't mean we have to jump ship. I love getting involved with the community over at github.

The hard client is on testflight if you're on IOS. Not sure for Android, but you can use the PWA.

Thx, but whats PWA?

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Progressive Web App, basically a website on steroids.

More specifically it's a webpage that has many capabilities of an application (notifications, working offline etc.) and is installable to your phone. If done right you basically can't tell the difference between a standard app and a PWA.
