@lgbtq_plus Straight people will say that LGBT education isn't age appropriate but will ask toddlers if they have a girlfriend.

It’s not that I’m actively educating my daughters about LGBTQ+ yet but they are at the age of learning about relationships and any time we or they talk about “when I’ll have a boyfriend…” we will comment “…or girlfriend whatever you’ll like…” I mean I at least try to keep them open minded while not forcing it, at least if and when the time comes they’ll feel comfortable to tell us.

edit: please don't mind me, I am just testing the comment feature. I will use my own comment from now, hope you won't be getting notifications, if you do, I apologize in advance :)

After many years of using custom stock ROMs on my phone's, that were always better and more up to date than the branded android ROM the phone came with, I've decided a few months ago to finally get a Google Pixel 6.

It's a great experience, basically feels like all the custom ROMs I've been using all these years but the camera is great and Google Wallet works, also some pixel exclusive niceties like the PO Pixel app from teenage engineering, etc, and as always the most up to date Android version available.

That's the whole problem with any social app right. Would be so happy to ditch Whatsapp for better alternatives but what's the point if no one I know is there.

Glad you guys are here though :p

Eu estou criando um app para Android e iOS inspirado no Infinity caso tenha interesse, se chama Beyond, e eu postei sobre ela aqui: https://beehaw.org/post/647773

@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

While not mentioned in the list and no code was actually written towards Kbin yet, I do plan to support it and Mastodon if possible on Beyond when possible :)

Amarok 1.4. Loved that thing. Everything that came afterwards in both terms of version and other similar apps even the mainstream ones do not get close to how good Amarok used to be.

Sometimes I'll add a slice of cheese to my bread slice with Nutella.

Having that said, a more normal one that some people find it odd is ham with jelly on my bread.

Thank you all for all your comments and suggestions. I'll go through them and try to answer as much as I can, I am generally quite busy on Tuesdays so I'll probably be able to do it later at night today. In any case I am happy with the amount of support!

brunofin,

thanks you :)

I can definitely look into it

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

honestly as of now I see no reason why not open sourcing it, I still didn't upload the code anywhere yet but probably will chose gitlab

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

I see no reason why not

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

I m glad you mentioned it! after I posted this on Tuesday night, I came up with the same idea! To Infinity, and Beyond!

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

It could have a different name on the app store than the actuall app, ie. on Play Store Infinity is named "Infinity for Reddit", but when instaled the app is named only "Infinity", I was considering a similar aproach, what do you thinkl?

@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Honestly I loved the card view because of the gallery, put focus on the post image.

Having that said, card won't be the only layout available but it is the first I am working on.

React Native. The screenshot you see is from it running on WSA from Windows 11, it feels much better than the emulator from the Android SDK.

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Thank you but not just yet :)

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks!

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

That's honestly a good point but:

  • Infinity is written in Java code specifically targeted to Android only, I am targeting both iOS and Android with the same code using React Native (maybe even web in the future but it's a little more complicated due to CORS);
  • I have worked with React for at least the past 4 years, so using React Native now for me feels like almost no learning curve at all, while if I'd be given a Java-based Android codebase now, I'd probably need to spend the first week figuring out the basics :)
brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

It's probably gonna be Beyond :)

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Will do! Considering an actual instance but not sure if worth it.

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Thank you all for your suggestions, as some have suggested above, I think I will probably go with Beyond, as Buzz Lightyear says, "To Infinity and Beyond!", seems like a good way to honor Infinity but also look at the future beyond.

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Definitely sounds like a good way to go, I believe I will allow to add multiple anonymous accounts where users can enter only a instance name and no username/password.

Quick update today I worked on the sidebar, I've hidden the items buttons that still don't do anything, added some icons, created a nice card for the logged in account. The only thing I am still not happy with is the contrast of the account name vs the background image, so I will look into something to fix that soon.

I am still not sure where to post this those kind of updates, maybe a community is not such a bad idea but I cannot create communities on beehaw, maybe I will create one on another instance and mod it from this account. In any case, I will post that info here too.

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Another update, with basic post and comments view ready, we should be soon approaching an alpha release date so you all can have a look by yourselves :)

Just another quick update, I got the domain beyond.onl and I'm planning to run a small Lemmy instance there. I probably won't be allowing account creations but I will be creating some official communities for Beyond announcements there.

The idea is to have a community where you can follow for new post updates about Beyond and comment, suggest features and improvements etc.

I will probably host it somewhere like Azure, I am not sure, as I have no idea of the costs associated with it, so I will be taking it very slowly and see how that will turn out. Maybe at some point I will open it up for new users too, let's see :)

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

I realized I haven't post anything new in a couple of days, so here's another quick update, made tons of improvements already and have also identified a few points for future improvements that I will be addressing soon.

All posts and comments action buttons work now, so you can upvote, downvote, save, share, etc, all the basic things you'd expect are there.

Today I also started working on the commenting feature, so you can reply directly to a post or a comment in a post. This isn't ready yet but there's a bunch of progress. As soon as this feature specifically is ready, I believe I am ready to announce an alpha version. Keep in mind this is very much barebones, with the minimal functionality to keep it usable and fun. There aren't any customizations or settings yet, but slowly we will be getting there. I will also be happy to collect some of your feedback.

Here's a new screenshot :)

I'm curious what exactly you mean with "better modding tools". I am working on a iOS/Android app and I'm wondering if those are tools I could integrate into it.

What exactly are your needs?

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Celeste can be quite casual and also challenging at the same time.

You can die as many times and the game doesn't punish you, you can save at any point and come back exactly where you lef off later.

@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Oh the music alone is worth it :) I sometimes find myself listening to it at work, and if you leave the suggestions on after it's done what follows is also incredible, found a lot of cool indie games based on that, GRIS is a good example.

How are the mobile apps for kbin/lemmy coming?

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

I am working on a new mobile app for iOS and Android heavily inspired by Infinity for reddit.

Here's a slightly outdated screenshot: https://beehaw.org/comment/267654

As of now infinite scrolling already works besides only 10 as I mentioned in my post, also some performance updates (already) :)

I am hoping maybe in 1 to 3 weeks to announce a stable version, maybe a beta before it, let's see :)

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

thanks! I am planning to release a pre-alpha version probably this week, I will make sure to ping you when it's done. The plan is to have a MVP to release with at least the ability to login, properly show posts in a good looking card, upvote/downvote, see the post's comments and add basic text comments. Most of that is done already besides commenting which is what I will focus on this week.

Later I wanna add dark mode support, followed by custom theming support, swipe upvote/downvote actions, rich text comments with image upload, a proper video and GIF player, multiple accounts support, that will be the beta or maybe a version 1.0. After that I will probably create a community and taking users feedback :)

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

That's a very valid question, someone asked it before, I've replied here: https://beehaw.org/comment/381245

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

I am actually writing a better Android/iOS/Web client for lemmy :) not sure when it's gonna be ready though as I am already busy enough but keep an eye for an announcement maybe in the next month or so :) the idea is that its heavily inspired on the Infinity client for reddit.

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

just a quick peek of current progress, please note the buttons do nothing so far :) you can scroll through 10 posts :p

if I am subscribed to communities from those instances, does that mean I am not goin to see new posts from them anymore or comment in their posts?

Also, if someone from those instances are subscribed to communities from beehaw, does that mean they cannot see new posts from beehaw neither post or comment?

brunofin,
@brunofin@beehaw.org avatar

Hey there :)

But why "asshole"? Almost every sub posted a similar thing and I see nothing wrong with that post unless I'm missing something 😝

Also curious, did you run into my comment by chance or did you actually get pinged when I mentioned the EDC community?
