To anyone that misses Reddit Slide; I may have a present for you soon

Awesome! I was a long time Slide user before development stopped and I switched to Infinity

I went to boost instead was close enough for me

If it is open source, then I'll test it for sure.

It is, or at least should be. The original source is here.
Same. It was the best Reddit app IMO.

I kept using it, until last week ^^"
- Same, I emailed the Devs yesterday suggesting a Lemmy port. Guess they already had the memo and worked on it.
I don't think it is, although that's kind of the trade off with premium client apps
- Where is all of this coming from??? Guys, Slide is FOSS, it's under the GNUv3 license lmao

- GitHub page says it's open-source., this version we don't know yet.

ohmygodohmygodohmygod

Fk yeaaaaahhhhhh! I can't believe it, we are getting slide and lemmur. Hope someone builds infinity for lemmy

I miss Infinity. It was such an elegant app.
- True, I was using it for 5/6 months, but before that I used Apollo for years.
  
  To be honest I feel good about Lemmy, It just needs time to popolate.

Lovely. Slide was (is?) my Reddit app of choice. As an open source app, Slide and Lemmy would go together like peanut butter and jelly.

YES! thank youu. That was my app for redditing. So glad the transition will be minimal with this

❤️

Yes please, I just uninstalled slide last week. While some things would bug out ocassionally, I couldn't imagine using any other app with reddit. I'm on Jerboa now and its just not the same.

SLIDE WAS THE BEST! It ran under the radar and the dev was MIA for a long time so I had to switch to Infinity but it was the best app I used for Reddit, soooo pumped to see Slimmey

You had me at Slide.

Thank you so much! I tried several Reddit apps over the years and Slide was by far my favorite. I used it up until the blackout when I left Reddit for Lemmy.

When and where can we get this?

Heyyy, I made it to the screenshot!

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!
I stopped using it because apparently it had been abandoned by the dev, and switched to Infinity because it's extremely similar, but I loved Slide too. Will definitely use this.

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!

Same. Slide was sooo good that I was sad to see it abandoned. Joey comes really close and I'd like to see that developer give Lemmy a shot.

Yes! This was my favorite app.

Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!

I'm so excited to see my reddit app ported! Take my money!!

Nice. Now if only the Joey for Reddit dev decides to do the same :)

You son of a removed I'm in.

Looking forward to see what happens. Slide was my daily driver for many a year.

Slide was my favorite Reddit app! This is awesome.

iOS?

Nope

Yayyyyyyy! I am definitely paying for this when it comes out

Oh man I loved slide a lot. This is terrific.

OMFG! I love yoo!

I was still on slide until I decided to abandon reddit altogether. I can volunter myself to test.

That's a great idea, thanks!

@theory@feddit.uk, I'll be happy to help with testing too.

Slide is the very first Android app that pulled me away from Reddit is Fun until Slide got abandoned. To see it resurrected for use on Lemmy would be a dream. I loved Slide interface. Was the app I preferred over Apollo too on Apple aside from the performance issues it didn't get sorted out before being abandoned, which led me back to Apollo.

Slide along with Infinity are my fav apps for reddit

That would be awesome. Do you have any Git links to track progress? Thanks!

Yes please! even though jebora is nice. i would still prefere to swipe through the fediverse and customize the experience again

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

I mean... What are the chances?! Unbelievable :D thank you, one tester eagerly awaiting :)

- Thanks for pointing it out! Was not aware.
Great minds think alike :)

Duuuuude that would be amazing! Loving all the lemmy apps coming out!

Looks great

Slide had been my favourite Reddit app.

Will you consider making Slide for Kbin? There seems to be numerous Lemmy clients being developed, but lacking for Kbin.

I will! So far, the reason for that is thst Kbin doesnt expose any kind of API, so any app has to scrape the site, but I would definitely aim for dual compatibility eventually, especially once an API exists

I never used slide. What do people like about it?

I can't speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed the "get out of your way" style the app has. I also really liked that you had to slide to upvote/downvote on posts instead of having static buttons you can accidentally press. It also had a decent system for switching between multiple accounts. Finally, it's all open source so one could fork it and customize it if they wanted to.
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).
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.
Custom color-coding of subs was nice when you scrolled so far you forgot where you were.
I like it because I like the feel of the old Material v1 theme (it seems the most functional to me), and Slide takes it and uses it to its limits.
I really like it has buttons to jump to previous/next parent comment. It made skimming top comments a breeze.

I would give you a hand job on top of whatever the app costs. Slide was the best reddit app until it got abandoned. Slide for lemmy? I just jizzed my pants at the idea

I'll wait for a FOSS app. Redreader supposedly will support Lemmy in the future.

Slide was THE FOSS Reddit app WDYM
I believe Slide was FOSS, so i imagine this will be too.
- Slide for Reddit is FOSS (GPL 3.0), although development stopped a while ago. However, since it's FOSS, it should be 100% doable to fork the app to adapt it to Lemmy and since it's GPL 3.0, I believe Slide for Lemmy would have to be at least as permissive (so FOSS as well).
