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.
Noted
Might as well add the capability to block whole instances.
OP isn't making a full client.
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.
Some import/export feature would be cool

Sick pls post again when it’s available to download
Exactly 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.
I started yesterday and unfortunately it won't finish until next week, I'll post as soon as it goes online
This will be amazing! Thanks for your efforts
Not a mobile app but I used this script the other day and it worked great for me: https://github.com/bunburya/lemmy2opml
Thank you for referring, I ended up using https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to migrate my old account's subs to my new account.
Feels like these can be baked into the apps that people use to browse lemmy 🤔
Probably, 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
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.
Thank 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
Currently using LASIM, but this looks like an improvement!
I have comments, posts and saved stuff across three accounts.
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?
Great, I tried and it feels better already.
Thanks!
Very nice, do you have a GitHub where we could follow the project?
Here it goes
Just started Watching it and also starred it.
This would require both instances to be online at the same time. A hard ask
Not really, since it can re-sync it later on if you just do regular polling
It was tongue in cheek
I'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
Material you design would be nice
Did this, you were so so right, feels much better now
Awesome, thanks!
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?
This is amazing would love to test once in alpha.
That's fuckin dope! Can't wait to get it when its on f-droid
Thanks!
This is great! Please post when the app would be available.
This looks awesome! Is there a link?
This is the way
I love you
Tell me when I can download (APK) it!
Why is this an android app?
