I updated my original comment, it seems there was a hiatus to development. As of 2 days ago, he’s working on getting parity with .09. I’d say it is being developed, just not on great timelines. But I’ve had his stuff on Reddit, I’ve had it here. Fairly sure it’s just one dude. Maybe I’m too patient, or my expectations too low, but I’ve been fine with it. I think someone mentioned spoiler tags don’t work, but I’ve seen that maybe half a dozen times in a year, so it doesn’t really register to me.
Would every version change of Lemmy necessitate an update to the app, if it’s just background stuff to lemmy and federating stuff? I’m hardly an expert, but if the information is packaged in a practical way to the app, changes to lemmy versions wouldn’t necessarily require an app update unless there were changes to the protocol, I imagine? Looking at the changelog for 8 and 7 wouldn’t look like it would effect the app, or cause it to miss features.
Not to say you are wrong or me right; he was always responsive and on it with the Reddit app, so my overall experience may have me biased towards his side with less justification.
It does not need an update for every Lemmy version, but in the last ones were new features for admins and mods. Apps need to support them. It is good to hear, he is developing on a new version, I like Boost for Lemmy. It was just a long time since the last update.
As you said, it is hard to keep timelines if you are a single dev. But an update every quarter would be nice.
I am looking at the dates when installing an app. I would not install an app last updated a year ago. They seem dropped to me

Would the version of lemmy your home instance is running also effect your app experience as well, just put off curiosity?
Not directly, only if features get added or the API changes. The API will change woth v1.0 afaik
I read something about it in the blog entry
Oh good something to read at work. Lol thanks, I’ll check it out!
