iOS dev, making a cross platform app, inspired by how apollo was?! Oof, as an Android user, i cant wait! 👍

Budgeting to get an Android device so I can test it myself too ;)

Also, Apollo was just iconic. If I can built half of that, we’ll be rocking it!

Which Android device are you looking at? I've always wondered how devs develop for Android since there's so many different kinds of devices that run Android with different capabilities. With iPhones, I'm (hopefully correctly) assuming that it's a little easier since there's only so many versions to support.

Yep, much easier on iOS. For Android I'll prob pick a Pixel.

You should try using Android as your daily driver though. Some months ago I tried iOS and I hated it. Of course this is a personal opinion, but you should really try it. My current phone is the OPPO Reno8 Lite. It's cheap, fast and overall really good.

I got a One Plus 11 coming tomorrow. Gonna be my daily driver while I polish the Android side of the app :)

Ooo, a pricey one. I've read great things about it.

it's sooo nice. The ultra charging ain't a lie, crazy how fast.

TechnologyClassroom,

Will this be open source?

This kind of stuff is exactly what the fediverse needs. Great work!

100%! So much growth left in the fediverse. And I can’t wait for more competition on the app space :D

This is great! I miss features from apps on Kbin, like saving posts, collapsing comments, etc. Signed up.

Wanted to add - Joey for Reddit was my go-to on Android when I left iOS/Apollo. Might be good inspiration, as well; I actually felt that Joey handled somethings much better than Apollo did.

Hadn't heard of it. But taking a look!

Joey for Reddit is/was the ULTIMATE client if you desire customization of the experience.
Man...I spent days on those font size and elements to be show/hide on the cards/threads. But it was in the end MY PERFECT experience

Kmoon is a fantastic name. Looking forward to it!

ViridityCorn,

Looks great! How did you manage to actually pull data from Kbin? I just can't seem to get it working

Also signed up!

darkstar,

I signed up! I love beta testing games, never been part of a beta for an app before though

It'd be nice to have a landing page like what Apollo has. One where you can favorite Magazines and the like.

Meshuggah333,

Would you consider Linux support as a Flatpak app?

hariette,

Certainly! Remind me if I forget :P

Meshuggah333,

Sure :D

I am definitely interested, but I have a question: if I entered the beta testing, what would be my responsibilities? I ask before I have never beta tested anything...

hariette,
hariette avatar

Like using an app but you can't hate on it if anything is broken lol. Instead you have to submit feedback/issues so they can be addressed. But also, could just be new ideas in the form of feature requests.

I'll prob setup a Discord and an issue tracker on github.

Thank you. Honestly I am very nervous about it, I am still unsure if I will subscribe. The problem is more about me being a tech noob than anything, I am really just a casual user who has learned how to Google tech/computer tutorials when needed (and even then, with mixed results lol) so I worry I would be a useless tester

nobloat,

That's fantastic news! Any chance it'll be available on F-droid ?

hariette,
hariette avatar

I'll take a look at that!

DarkThoughts,

I'd rather see Relay or Infinity inspired stuff but I guess it's a first step for this type of field.

hariette,
hariette avatar

Noted. I'll take a look at those and see what I can pull from them too.
