    I’m not even joking when I say that this app, despite being in alpha, is a more pleasant experience than the official Reddit app.

    • Jerboa has not begged me to turn on notifications
    • Jerboa has not yelled at me for taking a screenshot or begged me to send it as a link to the site instead
    • Jerboa has not warned me that I am “low on coins”
    • Jerboa has not tried to make me create an NFT avatar
    • Jerboa contains more formatting options in comments than the Reddit app (!)
    • Jerboa is smart enough to autopopulate the link title when I highlight text to be converted to a link. Reddit app still lacks this feature (!)

      It is extremely impressive how much money these large tech companies throw at an app and it turns out to be shitty as fuck. I wonder what bullshit features they pack in to make it like that.

        a considerable amount of code is used for “telemetry” and tracking.

      It’s amazing what devs can accomplish when they don’t have a bunch of greedy MBAs breathing down their necks
