    I hung on to sync for probably too long (hoping for a return of the dev) then switched to Summit. It’s pretty good.

      I’ve been using Voyager since I gave up on Sync.

      It’s okay but I wish I could go back to Sync, there were little quality of life things that just made it so easy. Plus more customization.

      Now that it has piefed support (basic so far), it’s even better. I love the similarities to Apollo.

      I have both. Voyager just works so much better but i LOVE the barebines minimalism of Sync, and i haven’t been able to figure out how to browse other instances on Voyager. I know i should switch but i just can’t.

          They had a pretty active discord server for a while to discuss development but they got a lot of feature requests and people were bugging them a lot and I think they got a bit burnt out so they ended up getting someone from the server to act as security and filter out good vs bad requests, but the guy went on a massive power trip and was just a total asshole to everyone thinking he was better than everyone and the channel went completely dead within days. Shortly after they halted development.

          I feel bad because the main developer was a really nice guy but he definitely over-worked himself. When he wasn’t at his day job he was spending every waking minute working on the app, all hours of the night. For a couple months straight he basically had zero sleep. He did almost all the work for the app. At the time it was definitely the most advanced feature-wise and also looked the nicest, but the guy took a short break and then Voyager came along and I think that was the nail in the coffin. He came back for a bit, then all the drama I mentioned happened and now nothing.
