What is so good about sync (and the other interfaces)?
Everyone is talking about how great sync is, but i tried it (and lift off, connect, summit) and all of them are literally the same. the only one i find to be unique is thunder because thunder feels like an app not a compact webpage interface. for example the leading in the sync posts is super jarring and feels like its from a 2008 forum and thats the same for most of the other apps.
except i did notice sync added ads which is a feature no one else has yet. and ad free is 20 bucks?? so from my perspective its the same (kinda worse than liftoff) as the other apps but it costs money
what is everyone liking about sync compared to the other apps? folks could just be used to sync which makes sense
also saying its more ergonomic or it just feels better isnt an answer however if that is ur answer thats cool id like to know why its more ergonomic or whatever tho
You're viewing a single thread.
To be frank, Sync has a lot of polish. When I used reddit I would try another app every few months just to make sure I wasn't just settling on a familiar experience.
For me Sync has provided design that's consistent, the most accessible and legible settings, and it performs oh so well, even on low end devices.
Sure no one needs Monet support, nor an app that matches the platform its built for, nor do most need an expansive feature set (tablets and foldables support). But, it's great that lj provides these, I've never had anything really break in the app either. In 10 years of use.
you said a lot of things that really dont mean anything to me
for example thunder has tablet support and a that
as for the polish no offense to ur desires but sync looks like trash. its got no heirarchy and the words are wayyy too close together. it feels clunky and slow.
it takes two clicks to do literally anything useful how is the refresh button stuck behind a secondary menu. somehow thunder has the same information to display yet it doesnt look macgyvered together
bottom line is those features youre saying sync is packed with is on every app is just worse done worse and for a subscription payment. i could be wrong but its just not polished or finished looking at all
edit: i just saw the themes system and font size editor which raises it to a bit below lift off. thunder>liftoff>sync>summit>connect
the words are wayyy too close together
Have you had a chance to dig into the settings? There's a TON of customization options for text, and it's pretty granular.
I'm not here to force you to like it, but tinkering around with it some more could possibly change your mind.
nono i want you to try forcing me to like it im tryna figure out what's good about it. U GOTTA MARKET IT or dont im just bored
i did add an edit just now about the themes and font size settings that do look nice ill tinker with those for a bit
Grow the fuck up bro. If you're going to ask why people like something you don't and then act like an ass about it then just leave.
I don't care if you use Sync or not.
