Curious when we might see a beta that we can try.

Just think, the longer it takes, the more features we were used to will be baked in.

I'm guessing a few weeks. Basic commenting (and post browsing) worked a week ago, but there's a lot of stuff to be done. Boost probably wasn't written with vastly different APIs in mind, so it's not a super simple change. Many things, especially the error handling, have to be rewritten.

Are you trying to tell me he can't just ask chatGPT to change the code to work with Lemmy and have it done in 2 minutes?!

I'm happy to wait until Dev is ready to test or release. He made a phenomenal app for Reddit and I'm just glad he's decided to make it for Lemmy.

I'm ready, too. Connect is decent, but I miss my Boost. ๐Ÿ’ธ

I still keep it around on my phone for reassurance.

Is Boost open source ?
