I don't know what it is, I went to the repo on github to read the readme, I still have no idea what it is. There is not a single sentence which explains what this is.
At the top it says it's something for Lemmy, at least I know what Lemmy is, but most people don't. So it might be a plugin, a theme, a frontend, an app, who knows.
Later it mentions apk, so perhaps it's a android app, for phone or some car or other embedded devices?
Hello I'm the developer here. The reason why the readme is completely unhelpful is simple. I wrote it for myself. It was a readme i wrote for myself on how to do certain things LOL.
Probably the best solution short term is to just like yo the website at the very top: https://summit.idunnololz.com/.
Edit: also in my defense the code repo was open sourced less than 24h ago on a whim and I've had a few bugs I've been trying to tackle all week:

I love that you link Obtanium. This is the first time I saw an app dev actually linking to Obtanium. Getting your FOSS app update directly from the git repos without the google bs around it just seems logical.
This drives me crazy with software websites and GitHub repos. Sometimes they'll give you a hint that involves other undefined things like, "This lets you use Floorp with Bibix."
It's a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
If I saw that in a repo I would 100% believe it. I've seen so many that are just as baffling.
This is… far, far too real
Funnily enough, there's a CSS framework called Gumby
Even worse when the first link to talk about what you’re looking at is just a discord link
It's an Android Lemmy client. The app just went public so it needs some repo refinement
And it's great, I've been using it for weeks. It reminds me of RIF. I am so happy to have found it.
Had the same problem
Gonna download now and give it a try. Currently using Boost but trying a few different options to see what works best. A lot of people suggested Voyager but I didn't like it very much.
Shit this is pretty good
I've been a Thunder user for a while. Just tried out Summit, and it has been much smoother and polished for me.
Summit is awesome.
Tried Raccoon just now, uninstalled instantly. Not very polished compared to other apps. My personal opinion.
Good thing there's so many options for people to find what they're looking for.
That's the beauty 🥰 And no corporate authority that says the apps have to be removed for any reason ✊
Boost is good but it has ads and it hasn't been updated for long. Voyager is nice but I'm not happy with the iOS design on Android
You can pay for ad-free. It's an affordable one time purchase and it supports the dev's work.
You can block ads
I'm trying it out right now, it doesn't feel very polished compared to others I main, like Sync or Boost.
I agree in some ways and not in others. Having no ads gives Summit a big leg up for me, but there are some interfaces that aren't super intuitive.
On Android (not sure if it's on iOS) I like that it feels more native than boost.
Ads can be bad but Boost has a one-time small payment to remove ads, very good deal, and the ads on Sync don't work (for me at least) 99% of the time, so I just see an empty space most of the time where the ads would be. 😁
Nice. Hopefully somebody puts it up on FDroid.
It's on my to-do but the process seems annoying potentially so we'll see. I just wanted to open source the project so there is at least some progress. I was finding myself making long lists of shit to do before I can open source the project but you know what fk those lists and just open source it now. Ask questions later. :D
Haha sometimes you just need to rip off the bandaid
Really good stuff. Obviously do what you can and it's great you're open sourcing the project. That's always a good thing imho. I just made the suggestion to get it up on FDroid as a lot of people who love open source and are on Android prefer to get their apps there.
If you're able, please do so. But even if you don't, please know you open sourcing this, it's appreciated. Thank you.
Try Obtainium 🙂
Love summit, glad to hear this welcome evolution.
This is great! I've tried so many clients and Summit is the one I like best.
Now do Sync ;-;
I loved sync for reddit, and even paid for the ad-free version on Lemmy, but I'm on summit now. Dev attentiveness and interaction is a 180 from the sync dev, and summit is great to use
I've been using Boost since Sync lost the "mark as read" feature, but I took a second look at Summit since I wrote that comment... And I actually think I like it more lol.
Do you know if it has push notifications? I moderate a handful of communities so getting notified of reports would be huge.
Looks like it has the ability to poll your accounts periodically to check for notifications. I presume this would then send a push notification, and the most frequent interval is 15 minutes
Hopefully they add push notifications for posts, similar to Apollo for Reddit push notifications feature:
“Apollo for Reddit had a feature called “Threshold Notifications”, which allowed users to set up notifications for when a post reached a certain number of upvotes. This was useful for tracking the popularity of a post without constantly checking Reddit.
For example, you could configure Apollo to notify you if a specific post or thread reached 1,000 upvotes. This feature was particularly helpful for keeping an eye on trending content”
You can ask for it :))
This feature is a must-have for me. I’ve been searching for a Lemmy client for Android that has this feature, but none of them do. Only Arctic for Lemmy that does have this feature.
I just don’t bother requesting because the response I usually get is that Lemmy doesn’t officially support push notifications, and it’s quite a complex process to implement.
Why do you want that?
Well, it keeps you up to date with trending topics without having to open the app itself. You can quickly glance at your notifications. Saving you a lot of time.
