How is it that devs decided to roll out it lacking basic functionality
It’s being worked on, Sync is a very mature app whose codebase had to be migrated over from Reddit’s API. An MVP was prioritized over more advanced features like posting.
A lot of people think that posting should be part of the MVP.
I really don’t agree as most people lurk, most of the rest only comment and a relatively small number of people post.
As a developer, if I was able to release what this dev did in the time they did it, I would be losing my mind. This person is obviously working like crazy (and in a very smart manner) to do what was done. You have to choose what to focus on.
In other words, I completely agree with you.
It’s very clearly a Beta.
We’re essentially beta testing an app, you can hold off until the full release if you prefer, no one is forcing you to use the Beta.
Beta with a subscription feature and a $31 paywall to remove ads.
I’m all for Sync like everyone else here, but I agree that not being able to submit posts is pretty weird
It’s a Beta, wait for the full release if you don’t like it.
Or use one of the many FOSS apps, no one is forcing you to use Sync Beta.
The primary purpose for most people is to read, reply, and comment on posts. This is a good compromise for most people. For post creation, you have other clients until it is done.

I have read this a few times now but posting this from Sync now, is it not actually going “live”?
Edit Ah creating a new post, not replying to an already started post. That is why I hadn’t noticed yet.
