    I tried Sync yesterday, but didn’t have a lot of time to fiddle with it. What makes it so great everyone’s excited? I checked it out and couldn’t immediately see it having a clear edge over Jerboa and Connect (but it looked nice)

    I was further thrown off by the fact that if I wanted to buy it, I’d need to pay for a yearly subscription (and in that case it didn’t look cheap)

    Honest question for who can answer

      Probably the settings and ui smoothness are what I like. I set view to compact, switch the default touch action, move the image previews to the right and turn on colored indent lines.

      After I open an image preview in connect it lags weirdly when I close it. Some of the text entry when commenting felt slightly jank to me, but I’ve been using sync for a long time.

        Thanks! I’ve implement your suggestions and am trying them out. It looks nice! I still am not completely sold, but am liking it

          There’s a lot in there and lil j daw gave us a way to link settings, so in the sync sub people link straight to settings.
