Yeah, I swipe probably 80-90% of the time, maybe even more. Gboard works pretty well for me. It’s just way faster than typing every letter individually. Especially long words usually have a pretty good detection rate. For example writing this text I had to correct maybe 3 words, the rest was detected correctly on the first try and it takes me 1-2 seconds per word.
That’s great to hear. I just swiped a lot of words, hope it helps 😄
For a second I really thought I had now finally found an alternative to Gboard but unfortunately the swiping detection is really poor and I need it to be able to use German and English at the same time. So I guess it’s still back to Gboard. :(
This actually sounds like a really nice feature. Hope my Android phone will get it with an update.
For me it’s the super compact view that I miss. None of the other apps comes close to how clear and tidy Sync looks, and none have the option to put the preview on the left and the “view” button on the right. I guess I could get used to it being different, but currently I have multiple Lemmy clients installed but I keep gravitating back towards Sync even though the posts aren’t marked as read which is seriously annoying.
Ah, thanks. Found the setting, show scores was disabled. Guess I did that accidentally while looking for a setting to fix the mark as read thing.
I just realized I also don’t see points of posts and comments on that account. Is that due to the same reason?
Is there a good alternative app? Been thinking about moving to a FOSS app for a while anyway but so far couldn’t find one that’s as good as Sync.
I really think he should consider making this app open source in case he doesn’t plan on continuing development. He’d be remembered as the guy who made the best open source Lemmy app instead of the guy who made people buy his app and then disappeared a few months later.
