Hey The Dev, this is just a one off, random non technical user’s ( I know what <br> does and thats it) question thar are you still advancing (developing has such a Heavy Tone in it) your app? I mean, I LOVE it for the heavens, particularily on the user interface, but its kind of lagging behind of abilities of other Lemmy apps.
Also the big concern is general security as time flies by.
So as a very satisfied but also a little concerned user: whats upp? Is the app still in development, even slow burn?
Edit: I’m a wee bit drunk and not an english speaker, okay, I edited some typo’s.
I’m most worried about the upcoming breaking changes in 0.19. Unless this app is still under development, it will be dead in a few weeks.
Hey, thanks for this. At least I wont be raging to the void in confusion if things break down. Though I still hope the app keeps going, but we’ll see what happens!
Thank you for the heads-up! Welp, I guess I have to get into android development again after all. Not sure where I should pull the time from.
I have now wasted a couple of hours on getting the app at least to build before I can even start making changes. But it won’t build and I can’t figure out why. Additional problem is, that this is not a “old-school” Android project in Java (or Kotlin). It is a Flutter project and it uses Dart as language which I have never used.
Additionally, there is an automatic build server that I maybe could have used to infer what the problem for me is, but even it fails to build the app. I cannot look into the older successful runs since the logs have been deleted since. Clearly something has changed from the build tools used but I cannot guess what (correctly). This is the outcome of the problem when nobody uses fixed versions but rather defined “newest”, which now breaks everything and nobody knows with what versions it worked.
So I tried Flutter 3.16.0 and 3.13.9 which are most likely too new since it complains about missing and wrong stuff. With 3.10.6 tries to build but it somehow stops without any reason given and I cannot find out how to get it to tell me what the F the problem is.
Sorry for my rambling but I hate this shit and maybe this helps someone.
I‘m not a dev and can’t help you, but thank you very much for trying your best.
Well, thank you! But I have more bad news. The communication with lemmy instances is handled by code from someone else. And development for that stopped months ago. So one would have to patch the other library somehow too. And that only fixes the login (which should be rather simple in essence). The changes to 2FA are a bit more complicated. Though, that should only break the setup process, not the login with it.
Sadly, fixing that would require someone that has at least a fair bit more experience developing with that language and tools, and more dedication.
Welllll shhhht. I don’t want to switch apps :(
IIRC, liftoff was a merged project by two or more developers. That is probably the reason why the code is split up
Lol what’s the link? Baby Bunny jump?
