Hey all!

Saw some chatter across the community and just wanted to give an update of where things are.

It's been a busy summer with vacations, work and the craziness that comes along with it. I personally had 2 new additions to my family (twins!) and was on parental leave for a bit then figuring out the new work routine with the additional kiddos!

All that being said things are starting to stabilize for me and I'm getting back into the swing of Liftoff development. I have a laundry list of items I plan to tackle during the long weekend in the US:

  • Move through the backlog of open PRs and get those merged
  • Look into the unwarranted post view refresh that I've seen reported
  • Triage the GitHub issues list
  • Sluggish FPS

Additionally we're actively discussing larger user experiences that we're thinking about changing, specifically multi instance and cross instance account handling. You can track that discussion and please contribute your thoughts here:

https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/251

Thanks for using the app, and thanks for being an active community. Excited for what's to come!

As always please join us on matrix!

Congratulations on the twins.

Liftoff has been great. No complaints from me.

You're gonna need quite a bit of time off with those twins...

@mykl@lemmy.world

Is there any news on Liftoff! I can see the other mods haven’t posted in at least five months.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, I really like liftoff and it is still working well without anyone maintaining it for the last 6+ months but it seems dead. I guess it's time to find a new app.

[–] shortgiraffe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Glad to have you back, congrats on the twins. Love the app, it's multi instance support is my favorite.
