Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

jittery for anyone else? (monero.town)

For me at least jerboa feels quite jittery when scrolling posts. My guess is that it is having to load from the server and thats why you get those pauses, i am not absolutely sure on that. If true maybe jerboa needs to request more posts at once.

Yes, I've definitely noticed the stuttering.

I also whish the scroll speed maintained "velocity" for much longer. I often do quick flicks to scroll quickly, but unlike a lot of the other apps I use, Jerboa very quickly stops scrolling once your finger is off the screen.

This issue suggests that jetpack compose might be partly to blame

I believe that is in fact the issue. However making larger requests will just cause the issue to happen in a slightly different fashion, that will ensure heavier load. It's largely just a matter of resources that will have to come with hardware upgrades.

Hardware? Do you mean server hardware or device hardware? Because the device is fast enough. It just feels like jerboa is only loading like 20 posts at a time and keeping no cache of them
