It's being worked on, Sync is a very mature app whose codebase had to be migrated over from Reddit's API. An MVP was prioritized over more advanced features like posting.

A lot of people think that posting should be part of the MVP.
I really donβt agree as most people lurk, most of the rest only comment and a relatively small number of people post.
As a developer, if I was able to release what this dev did in the time they did it, I would be losing my mind. This person is obviously working like crazy (and in a very smart manner) to do what was done. You have to choose what to focus on.
In other words, I completely agree with you.
The primary purpose for most people is to read, reply, and comment on posts. This is a good compromise for most people. For post creation, you have other clients until it is done.
It's very clearly a Beta.
We're essentially beta testing an app, you can hold off until the full release if you prefer, no one is forcing you to use the Beta.
Beta with a subscription feature and a $31 paywall to remove ads.
I'm all for Sync like everyone else here, but I agree that not being able to submit posts is pretty weird
It's a Beta, wait for the full release if you don't like it.
Or use one of the many FOSS apps, no one is forcing you to use Sync Beta.
I have read this a few times now but posting this from Sync now, is it not actually going "live"?
Edit Ah creating a new post, not replying to an already started post. That is why I hadn't noticed yet.
