It was announced back in June but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

    It’s been only two months. Do not assume that app development is a weekend job.

      It’s probably a weekend job, in the way they can only afford to work on weekends on it…

      Think the Sync dev said he spent 60 hour weeks working about 6 weeks to get Sync for Lemmy up.

          For a lifetime ultra experience. I could realistically get a decade out of it. Ad free is way cheaper too

                As someone who bought lifetime ultra on sync for reddit the day he announced the shut down it’s a price worth paying. Used the app for almost 10 years and only paid 5 bucks. He wasn’t sure what was going to happen going forward so I gave what I could in return for that service.

          People when developers need to pay for their homes and electricity and buy food: this is a fucking scam, absolute bullshit

          To get the initial release out. It’s not like there’ll be no more development after that. Plus, there’s the much cheaper price for just add free.

              We know it took about 360 hours. That’s a shit load of work and it will be a daily job maintaining it. Besides that lifetime price is entirely optional

      The guy who is making Connect did its initial release in 4 or 5 days, I remember I tried it, he was updating multiple times a day in the beginning, impressive

    Just be patient. The developer has been active in the boost community, and has stated that he expects release before the end of August. I’m using sync for now til it drops. Boost was my favorite way to surf Reddit and I don’t think it’s gonna change on lemmy

    I just started using Eternity (formerly Infinity for Lemmy), and it’s about as good as Boost used to be. Kinda killed any hype I had for Boost for Lemmy at this point.

    I started Lemmy with Jerboa, switched to Sync, tried Eternity (Infinity), un-installed immediately, and am now very happy using Voyager.

    So for me personally, Boost is a little late.

    Definitely taking his time to make sure it drops as most likely the least buggy, most feature-rich on-release Lemmy app yet. He’s gotta outperform the other 20, so may as well learn from them.
