Currently developing an Android app to sync subscriptions and saved posts between accounts
Currently developing an Android app to sync subscriptions and saved posts between accounts
It's open source and I'd like some feedbacks, as you can see I such at designing mobile apps.
Also, if you have any feature recommendations it would be nice to hear about
My idea is to setup a background service that keeps all accounts you want synced using instances APIs
Blocked users and communities, with the option to add to or replace the lists.

Apps don't suck if they work.
If an app looks great and flashy but functionally is garbage, then what's the point.Give me a plain looking app that works well every time.
Looking forward to grabbing this when it's available.

18 0 ReplyExactly what I have been looking for this entire evening, i made a new account on lemm.ee and now I'm looking to sync my old (lemmy.world) and new accounts. I will give it a try and report back here. Thank you for your efforts
Edit: can you post a link please, I couldn't find it in the play store.

Not a mobile app but I used this script the other day and it worked great for me: https://github.com/bunburya/lemmy2opml
4 0 ReplyThank you for referring, I ended up using https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to migrate my old account's subs to my new account.

UI/UX designer here. Wouldn't mind spending a couple hours of my free time designing a better interface for you. Would be a fun project.
13 0 ReplyThank you, I'd rather do it myself as I'm learning during the process but if you have any advice, I'd love to hear about
The design is like this now

Feels like these can be baked into the apps that people use to browse lemmy 🤔
13 1 ReplyProbably, if that was the case I wouldn't be making this one
If any open source client wants to add this feature, I'd love to help

Currently using LASIM, but this looks like an improvement!
I have comments, posts and saved stuff across three accounts.
11 0 ReplyCan I ask about how it works? Will my comments also be visibly duplicated on each instance then?
11 1 ReplyI think this is for list data, like subscriptions, blocked users, saved posts etc...
16 0 ReplyExactly, it would not be nice to duplicate all comments and posts

Constructive advice about the UI:
The padding on the top feels unnatural as there's lots of open space which isn't common for that area. Maybe add a header that gives instructions and move the content higher, something like "Getting started" with an icon and some text below?
8 0 ReplyGreat, I tried and it feels better already.
Thanks!

This would require both instances to be online at the same time. A hard ask
7 0 ReplyNot really, since it can re-sync it later on if you just do regular polling
6 0 ReplyIt was tongue in cheek
7 0 ReplyI'm thinking about how I'm going to keep it synced and I'll probably keep an offline list of all the communities per instance and update it often, after that, add and remove communities in the other instances

Is it possible via the API to get the date/time when a subscription was added? If so, then a two-way sync would be possible, else I think only a one-way sync can be realised reliably, right?
5 0 ReplyI'm targeting "every-way" sync actually, if you ad 4 accounts my goal is to sync all 4
3 0 ReplySo if one account is subscribed to A and B, and another account is subscribed to C and D.
After sync, are both accounts going to be subscribed to A, B, C, and D?

27 2 ReplyThere's two solutions for the desktop already and I'm building it in flutter, which is cross platform, I don't have a Mac here to compile to iOS though

If it's built using compose multiplatform it's going to be easy to build for iOS and desktop
6 0 ReplyBuilding it in flutter, so yes, cross platform :)
