🔥 hot take: Thunder is better than Sync considering subscription model for sync.
Update 5 August: sync gets lifetime subscription feature.
Yes. Really a good news!! Just tested the app. Feels a lil laggy. Waiting for it to smoothen more before i make the purchase. 🌻?
Thunder is great and open source. Mad respect for the Dev
Yess
🔥 Hot take : Liftoff is better than Thunder considering it just is.
I have to agree. Liftoff isn't quite RiF level of cozy yet, but it's getting there for me. I haven't used Thunder in about two weeks, tried signing on today and all of my Instance data was missing. Maybe it was the result of the update, I dunno, but that kinda soured me on it a little
Pretty sure it'll be!! Tho still under development and it had noticable issues last time i tried. Soon will switch to it as soon as it becomes stable.
"I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.
Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours"
The developee aparently already said he would add a lifetime payment.
Yeah and now that it is not there, It's really heartbreaking and has completely swayed me away from using sync. I do mind subscription.
Lifetime payment was added to the beta 25 which the developer pushed today.
Yes. Really a good news!! Just tested the app. Feels a lil laggy. Waiting for it to smoothen more before i make the purchase. 🌻🌻
I took it for a test ride and it's not bad, but not as polished, slick, or as customizable as Sync.
I'd pay a one time $10 or something, but the existing apps are pretty great. Thunder and voyager are the two I keep going back to
Yeah. Subscription model is not quite what i expected from Sync for full features. Voyager too is amazing and is continuously improving and adding features!!
"I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.
Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours"
Yeah I wasn't expecting $100 though
It's only $20 lifetime if you want to only remove ads, the 100 is for all the features
What's the context to this? Are sync and thunder things that are used with Lemmy?
theyre 3rd party apps for lemmy
Alllll yours buddy
Prefer sync but to each their own. Just glad we have so many choices.
