Connect dev here. Sync is a great app and I think the developer did a good job and it's benefitted a lot in terms of polish from being a Reddit app for years. I feel Connect is more or less at feature parity while being just over a month old. Maybe in terms of differences I would say Connect will never track you, doesn't include ads or data collection, and isn't a subscription service. But that's true for a number of open source Lemmy apps too and I also think Summit, Liftoff, and Thunder are really great choices too.
Thank you for the response.
I am not so much into the mobile developing, but as I understand, you are not monetizing this app in any way, just taking voluntary donations?
That's correct
I would say a major feature for me that sync has is to be able to hide viewed/interacted posts on button press.
I also have bugs with connect not marking viewed/interacted posts as read.
But I keep both in hopes that Connect get polished overtime, i mean it takes time to get everything right.
I was not a Sync user on Reddit but LOVED Relay for reddit. Anything that navigates/looks close to Relay I will gladly pay for.
I just re-tested Connect and my marking as viewd bug seems fixed with the last update lol great!
Thanks for being an awesome dev, I did use connect in the interim before Sync. I probably will still use connect to some extent for other accounts, and definitely recommend it as an option for those who don't wish to pay for an app.
