I'm going to try to write up a blog post about the different #Mastodon apps for #Android, so give me your main selling points and grumbles about #Tusky, #Fedilab, #Megalodon, the official app, and anything else I may not have encountered yet.

@Ryan I’ve been a mobile developer for 15 years (mostly android) and used Tusky before I got my iPhone. It wasn’t my favorite tbh. my gripes with Tusky are all around data and state handling.

For instance the UI has very few “in progress” states, so for instance boosting a toot can momentarily show the button in the wrong state if the request is slow.

Also the caching for viewed toots is very rudimentary, so lots of toots (in conversations esp.) are needlessly reloaded while I stare at a blank screen.
