I was using Jerboa for a while, but then one day images stopped working on there for some reason. Then I found Blorp browsing on fdroid and it's pretty friggin awesome. Just wondering if anyone else is using it too, or if I'm the only cool guy here.

Voyager so far. No reason to switch yet

As a public service and for your review: Blorp

I don't really understand why anyone would download an app for something a browser can do.

Voyager seems fine. You can browse and you can post.

Hey, thanks for your contributions! Are you the sole dev working on Blorp, or are there a few of you? My day job is a QA engineer, and Blorp is one of the random test words I find myself using a lot lol.

I'm the sole dev as of right now. There have been a few one time contributors, but it's mostly just me.

I use Boost. Has a little rocket ship logo. Used to use it for reddit until they banned 3rd party.

So it's been around for quite a while.

When I switched to Lemmy I was chuffed to find it worked with it.

I think it works quite well.

tried it, it was fine, but it was severely feature limited compared to Summit

Been using Thunder on Android for a while. Great experience with it.

I downloaded it, but still use jerboa. What do you like better?

Yes. I used Interstellar and then Blorp. They're both good.

used blorp and liked it until i switched to mbin and needed something else

[โ€“] moseschrute@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Blorp dev here. I want to one day support MBin, but no idea when that will be yet.

moved from Lemmy/Voyager to Piefed/Blorp, it feels more streamlined

[โ€“] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tried it shortly after initial release, felt very cartoony to me, didn't like.

[โ€“] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Blorp dev here. I think function and form are both very important. I definitely lean more Apple philosophy of strong UI/UX opinions. Not sure if Iโ€™ve delivered on that quality in Blorp. I have enjoyed when Apple gets it right, though they do get it wrong too (e.g. Liquid Glass).

Yea I use blorp. It's pretty good, doesn't seem to be missing any features and is decently quick.
