Wow no way… Slide has always been my favorite 3rd party app, and I always felt like the only one using it when I’d mention it on reddit. What an awesome surprise!
I’ve used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I’ve never had any issues with it at all!
Hands down the most/best customization. If anyone complains about the UI, it just means they didn’t tweak it enough!
Slide user to this day here. Love the customizability!
That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!
was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I’m constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just “getting something that works”, but if you’re interested, there you go
Thanks for sharing and putting in the work! And great logo choice :)
Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity
I never used slide. What do people like about it?
The concept of swiping was used everywhere. Makes it quick and easy to use. You could just swipe right to close a thread, or the video/image. No need to use the back button, or reach for the tiny X in the corner.
And the seamless galley mode was awesome. Very unique (only found it quite similar in Joey).
I was the only reddit app I found that really worked with new comments.
what I mean with that is when you read a thread, then come back 5h later it would highlight all the new comments so you would not have to reread all the ones you already read the first time.
such a great feature (maybe others have it too, but from the many I tried non had it in that way)
also great ux with swiping allowed for super efficient navigation
For me, I liked the ability to swipe left and right between subreddits (the order on which you could configure), you could also swipe between posts. It’s also open source and pretty customisable. Unfortunately it’s not been updated in over a year.
The dev abandoned it cause the code is a bit of a nest, to say the least. Im trying to work on that, cause I really want slide to exist
I could never get used to any kind of other 3rd party app because the muscle memory from using slide for years was just too strong. I’m beyond happy to find out about this project!
When Slide died slowly I eventually switched to Joey, which is very close to Slide regarding usability. One thing Joey did better was zoomable videos. How cool is that!?
I really hope for a comeback of Slide as an Lemmy app!
