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 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. 😁

        Sounds like someone has a pihole.

        If that’s the case and the ads still work 1% of the time, maybe update the blocklist?

          That’s the thing, I don’t 🤷‍♂️

                The last 1% of ads.

                I was just joking, you seem satisfied with your situation; however, a pihole is rarely a bad option.

                  Ah, right! Yeah, I mean, I am using Sync, Boost and Thunder right now. Boost and Thunder don’t show ads (I paid the one-time fee on Boost) so it’s more like ⅓% that I see an ad, perhaps, if I used them all equally, which is probably sorta accurate. 😁 So it’s fine in my case.

                  I would however get a pihole if it worked in order to get rid of ads on YouTube on my TV. Because fuuuuuuu—…
