We just enabled GitHub Discussions for our mobile app repo, and added a new onboarding screen that will appear once you login to our beta app for the first time!
We can't wait for you to see how better and faster our new app is ⚡️
Even more #pixelfedApp progress (don't stop me now)
✅ - New README
✅ - AGPL license
✅ - Code of Conduct
✅ - Security Policy
✅ - Updated old repo readme
✅ - Updated https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps with a link to the source code
I also pushed all the code, I'm now developing the mobile app in the open! It feels great 😎
We're rewriting our Android + iOS mobile apps to be faster, leaner and easier to use!
If you're participating in our Android and iOS open betas, the new app will be rolling out in the next week or two. We anticipate a general app store release in May or June 🚀
Auto Alt-Text and Caption Translations are popular requests for the @pixelfed app
The only way I'm comfortable implementing these are only if it can be on device, sending media or captions to an API is unacceptable for privacy reasons
That being said, I am making progress on this, though its limited to a few languages now, I look forward to shipping and expanding support for other langs
Another #pixelfedApp improvement is adding "Follows You", "Admin" labels when appropriate, and improving bio rendering by fixing Mastodon mention links, removing new lines, adjusting link colors and font weight
This update will be pretty significant and address many concerns and feedback you've given me, should be ready to ship later today!
