It's that time again Lemmings.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

Oh calm down. Its still in development. If one minor issue like manual cache clearing is such a big deal, open an issue on the github page or just fork it and fix it yourself. It's a FOSS app still in active development, the unfortunate cost of living on the cutting edge is that sometimes you get shoved face first through a tomato.

Genuine question. Is it still in active development? The last release was three months ago, the last commit on GitHub was in August and no posts from the team in two months.

My background is as a product manager for a digital platform, not a developer. I'm not the guy to fix this issue, but I'm pretty comfy it's a meaningful issue.

While I applaud the FOSS effort (I wasn't aware), I'm not going to sit on the sidelines clapping as people's faces are shoved through tomatoes. If this is worthy of a regular reminder at risk of filling your phone, it warrants an urgent fix that appears to be taking time.

Here's hoping it gets fixed quickly though.
