For example I set in /m/android to see content from Fediverse that has the #android tag - something I find very useful by the way. Since it is a generic magazine it would be useful to be able to filter content for English only....
My need was to open the site in a dedicated browser to keep it separate from the default browser, so I put together some code I had available from other projects to create this app. I have shared it in case it might be useful to others, although for most people using the default browser to view the site is the best choice.
In that case it would not have changed anything. Instead of seeing the Cloudflare page in your regular browser you would have seen the same page in this app, since this app is only a dedicated browser for kbin.social, nothing more.
This app is like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, but unlike them it only loads by default kbin.social. I think Datas_Cat_Spot's comment explains the only advantage this app has over any other browser for browsing the site.
I would prefer not to spam kbin about this application, but if you think it might be useful to others you are free to post a link in other magazines/fediverse. Thanks for the tip about Obtainium.
@rootfs You might try Kodi. Just share a NAS folder and add it into Kodi.
There are various types of file sharing, I would recommend you start with this article to find one that works for you. If your NAS operating system is Linux search for how to create a file share via Samba.
I hope you are doing great. Easyjoin is one of the first app I install on my Android devices. Thank you so much for making the app privacy friendly. It hasn't received update in a while so it was nice seeing you moved to kbin....
Hi.
I decided to create a page here, since I don't currently find reddit to be a good place to use it as a forum for my apps.
I know the message tab in the Windows app is a mess, it has several things wrong with it, for example, you can't scroll through messages using the arrows on the keyboard. The problem is that it's a native WPF component that has to be used or thrown away altogether, you can configure some things but not much more. I found a compromise in its configuration that makes it usable but that's all.
It might be useful to have a filter on the page where outgoing notifications are configured that shows only apps that have been installed lately. I wouldn't like to see a popup when entering the app with the newly installed apps because I find it intrusive but a filter might be useful.
What I would like to do now is to resume the development of the native application for macOS, with SwiftUI and all the other things that a native application in that operating system can offer. I hope to be able to find the time to complete this project.
Large screens are a problem if you want to use the phone with one hand. There are some apps that would allow you to use the phone with one hand but since I haven't used any I just put a search link where you might find something useful: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=android+app+to+use+phone+with+one+hand

Would it be possible to limit Fediverse content included in a magazine via tags, to one (or more) languages?
For example I set in /m/android to see content from Fediverse that has the #android tag - something I find very useful by the way. Since it is a generic magazine it would be useful to be able to filter content for English only....
