You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, "liftoff" pertaining to software.

[-] zachatrocity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Seems like their trademark is actually on SAAS offerings. I think we'll be fine

Not in fdroid for some reason

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

Looks like this is a combination of lemmynade and limbo? Which were both forks of Lemmur.

I liked lemmur UI so this one is quite nice.

[-] machinaeZER0@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I believe this was Lemmynade originally!

Screenshots? What makes it special? Is it CPU/memory efficient?

When you land on their GitHub repo you have nothing describing the project, only build instructions.

Looks promising! Is it on FDroid?

Feels smooth. I wish there was an option to hide the bottom bar and to reduce the font size a bit. For now I'll keep using Jerboa, but waiting for it to be less "sluggish" while scrolling.

[-] B20bob@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I've tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so I'm not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.

[-] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, agreed. Just tried it, and if it wasn't for the Subscribed feed not loading bug, I'd use this instead of Jerboa.

Cool! I'll download it and add it to lemmy app folder :)

So I am using it right now but my main issue is that it keeps repeating the same posts over and over on my all feed. I thought it was scrolling back to the top every time I backed out of a post but no it was just another dupe.

Yay more options

[-] wiki_me@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Looks good!

You might want to add it to the lemmy readme (or maybe we need a "awesome lemmy" repo with a list of lemmy software and resources?)

I made a bunch of feature requests to lemmy (stuff like reddit enhancement suite features) and most notably the ability for a user to block an instance, would it be ok if i will copy paste them to your issue tracker?

alt and the left key should move to the previous page like in web browsers on linux.

[-] kelvin@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Loving the app so far. There are bugs but its definitely the most mature and has the best UI/UX out of the apps I've tried.

[-] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Just tried it (writing this comment from it). Generally, it feels a lot more polished and nicer looking than Jerboa, but, if you set the feed to Subsciber, nothing happens, it just loads a blank page.

Other than this, it feels a lot better than Jerboa. So I would use it, but the Subscribed feed is broken, so that's a deal breaker for me currently.

Looks ugly, but buttery smooth.

[-] swancheez@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So I love it so far, but when switching to the true black AMOLED setting, a lot of the buttons stay that gray color. Not sure if intended or missed.

[-] shellsharks@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Will def check out when it hits iOS AppStore or TestFlight.

So my instance has updated to 0.18 and Enabled TOTP support - I have enabled it as I want to ensure my accounts are as secure as possible. the problem, no apps support it yet.

I plan to install every app for Lemmy in order to find a good experience on Lemmy. So I have installed it, but I won't be able to use it untill it supports entering TOTP tokens.

Do you plan to add support for this?

Edit: not sure why this was downvoted. I know some people are having issues with the implementation TOTP in Lemmy - I nearly did, in fact the code didn't show up in my authenticator app until I accidentally added it twice. (Then I removed the identical second code) But the fact the implementation needs work doesn't mean it shouldn't be supported - next point release should be fixing some or all of these things, so isn't it a good idea to be prepared for that? Also I've seen a pull request in Jerboa's github that adds preliminary support for it as well - but the Devs are bogged down with requests for Lemmy and Jerboa, so I'm not expecting it to make it through in the next week, no matter how much of a priority it is.

Now I know this app is open source and run by people out of the goodness of their heart too. And I will patiently wait for the time when it's added - if not work out a preliminary way to add it and submit a pull request. But my expertise isn't in interface and app design and therefore if I do find the time to do it, the implementation will be crude at best - I know next to none of the conventions specific to app development, having only used LibGDX, which is a game dev toolkit similar to XNA for modern android.

[-] stu@lemmy.pit.ninja 4 points 1 year ago

TOTP support will be coming very soon: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/pull/56

Still needs to be reviewed, but keep tracking this over the next couple days.

[-] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome! Thankyou.

[-] nx5qly@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

Using Liftoff right now. Looking good so far.

Can't login, it says my password is incorrect

Edit: before someone tells me to put in my correct password, I use copy&paste from a password manager

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago

Is your password longer than 60 characters? If so, you should know that your actual password was truncated to 60 chars at the time of account creation. You won't notice on the website because the login webform automatically truncates characters beyond the limit, but most 3rd-party apps don't do this because it's an undocumented thing.

Basically, my advice would be to update the password in your password manager to be truncated to 60 characters and then try logging in with the app again.

[-] impulse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What kind of maniac would use a password that's longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client's webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

side-eye "sus" monkey puppet meme

That was actually the thing, thanks a lot.

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Oh man, the feeling of solving an obscure issue on the first try without having to ask for any extra hints: chef's kiss. I'm glad I could be of assistance!

By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn't do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn't be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?

If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn't even have to know about it.

Slightly smaller font would be nice. Opening links in the default browser would be great too.

Looks great so far though.

I love to see a new Dart / Flutter project take off!

[-] little_hoarse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t understand how you’re supposed to run this on iPhone

[-] Generator@lemmy.pt 5 points 1 year ago

Im not the dev, but the iOS wasn't released yet, there's only the instructions how to buid it. Check it again in a few days

This thread was retrieved via lemmy.world. You are not logged in there

I thought one account in any instance is enough and thats how lemmy works. Why do I have to sign up on all these individual instances to comment?

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Just ran into the same problem. I fixed it by going to settings -> accounts and them pressing and holding on each instance that I don't have an account on and removing it. Then it uses the instance I do have an account on.

[-] admin_lemmy@lemmy.webgirand.eu 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It probably means that you have enabled the "everything feed" in liftoff settings. This aggregates content from all instances apparently, even those not federated with yours.

Edit: weird cause you seem to be on sh.itjust.works which is federated with Lemmy.world.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
