Hey The Dev, this is just a one off, random non technical user’s ( I know what <br> does and thats it) question thar are you still advancing (developing has such a Heavy Tone in it) your app? I mean, I LOVE it for the heavens, particularily on the user interface, but its kind of lagging behind of abilities of other Lemmy apps.

Also the big concern is general security as time flies by.

So as a very satisfied but also a little concerned user: whats upp? Is the app still in development, even slow burn?

Edit: I’m a wee bit drunk and not an english speaker, okay, I edited some typo’s.

    I‘m not a dev and can’t help you, but thank you very much for trying your best.

      Well, thank you! But I have more bad news. The communication with lemmy instances is handled by code from someone else. And development for that stopped months ago. So one would have to patch the other library somehow too. And that only fixes the login (which should be rather simple in essence). The changes to 2FA are a bit more complicated. Though, that should only break the setup process, not the login with it.

      Sadly, fixing that would require someone that has at least a fair bit more experience developing with that language and tools, and more dedication.

      Welllll shhhht. I don’t want to switch apps :(

        IIRC, liftoff was a merged project by two or more developers. That is probably the reason why the code is split up
