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

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

hariette,
hariette avatar

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.

hariette,

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.

I'm happy to see kbin apps start popping up so fast. Signed up for this beta.

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

Looks like it'd be super handy. went ahead and signed up on the form :)

hariette,

Appreciate it!

A decade back I spent some years running another indie app and the best part was the community helping test and recommend features. It really elevates the quality of a product. Unlike what we're seeing with reddit....

Understandable. I've coded some chat/forum apps before as well as android app stuff. never anything popular though lol. hopefully things go well for you :)

DarkThoughts,

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

hariette,

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

Maybe a name like Aurora or Nova could work. Like it is still space / celestial themed but both symbolize “new” (aurora - new morning after nighttime, nova, explosion of light / pent up energy), and can work as a spiritual successor paying homage to Apollo. Great idea btw I just signed up.

mightysashiman,

Wouldn't recommend using "Aurora". It's already the main alternative to the official google play store, and it's getting hunted down by Google.You wouldn't this nice new app to get stuck into this unrelated mess.

To add to this, Nova is a very popular Android launcher as well.

That’s fair! I was giving examples but you’re right this and what another user mentioned about Nova make them imperfect choices. I like the idea of paying homage to Apollo somehow.

What about something like Komet? Then it would still be space themed, but have the K from kbin as well.

louija,

Could also call it Luna — it’s the name of a bunch of lunar expeditions (like Apollo), and pretty similar to the current title

You absolute legend. Make it paid and I’ll pay for it. This is how we win.

hariette,
hariette avatar

Awww thanks. My aim is to keep it free (plus ad free!). Just wanna help the fediverse become more accessible :)

If I do charge for something it would be for unique features that go above and beyond.

Can't wait to see this, it should make it easier for people to join that would have ended up using the reddit app instead.

flatcat,

Congrats! Not sure what kbin stands for, but Cabin (or Kabin) is just right there for an associated name.

Very much did not verify this so take with grain of salt, but I read that it was shorthand for a Polish gun. Magazines is then a bit of a double entendre.

Applied! I've spent a lot ot my free time on kbin the last few days, I would love to provide feedback on an app.
