At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I’ve decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered “FOSS” but this is a huge step I think.

As I’m voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

    I don’t know what it is, I went to the repo on github to read the readme, I still have no idea what it is. There is not a single sentence which explains what this is.

    At the top it says it’s something for Lemmy, at least I know what Lemmy is, but most people don’t. So it might be a plugin, a theme, a frontend, an app, who knows.

    Later it mentions apk, so perhaps it’s a android app, for phone or some car or other embedded devices?

    Gonna download now and give it a try. Currently using Boost but trying a few different options to see what works best. A lot of people suggested Voyager but I didn’t like it very much.

      Boost is good but it has ads and it hasn’t been updated for long. Voyager is nice but I’m not happy with the iOS design on Android

        I’ve been a Thunder user for a while. Just tried out Summit, and it has been much smoother and polished for me.

        Tried Raccoon just now, uninstalled instantly. Not very polished compared to other apps. My personal opinion.

      I’m trying it out right now, it doesn’t feel very polished compared to others I main, like Sync or Boost.

        I agree in some ways and not in others. Having no ads gives Summit a big leg up for me, but there are some interfaces that aren’t super intuitive.

        On Android (not sure if it’s on iOS) I like that it feels more native than boost.

          Ads can be bad but Boost has a one-time small payment to remove ads, very good deal, and the ads on Sync don’t work (for me at least) 99% of the time, so I just see an empty space most of the time where the ads would be. 😁

        Using Thunder right now. Yet another app that doesn’t have properly functioning code formatting buttons for both inline code markup and code blocks. And it makes no distinction between single back ticks and triple back ticks. Ah well.

        The rest of the features and design are pretty sick though, I’m trying to main it and I’m not feeling uncomfortable yet!

    Hopefully they add push notifications for posts, similar to Apollo for Reddit push notifications feature:

    “Apollo for Reddit had a feature called “Threshold Notifications”, which allowed users to set up notifications for when a post reached a certain number of upvotes. This was useful for tracking the popularity of a post without constantly checking Reddit.

    For example, you could configure Apollo to notify you if a specific post or thread reached 1,000 upvotes. This feature was particularly helpful for keeping an eye on trending content”
