hariette@tech.lgbt - #kbin + #lemmy app is coming along. Here’s a preview of the upcoming beta. This is less than a week’s worth of work, so it’s only up from here 😉
Based on polls, looks like Artemis is winning for the name. Which is a great tribute to #ApolloApp 🙏
Stalk my work and suggest ideas in the app’s Discord server (link in bio).
#kmoon #kbinapp #ios #android #Threadiverse
I have been testing both !memmy@lemmy.ml and !mlemapp@lemmy.ml and both still have some bugs to work out, but they are progressing quickly. Memmy for instance had 2 updates just today, with another option with in the way of Artemis it is looking like we will have some, if not plenty of choice.
Excellent! The web app for kbin is not great so looking forward to an android native lemmy and kbin app what I can use instead of Jerboa too
Well that’s three apps for Lemmy on iOS with two being directly inspired by Apollo
Choice is great and all but at this small scale feels like unnecessary replication of work
This one at least will be on Android and iOS
Memmy is react native so it should be cross platform too. Only Mlem is Swift and iOS only
Artemis is going to be cross platform I’m pretty sure. Which is good. On Android, Jerboa is okay but still kinda rough.
TIL there is an android app.
There’s three. Jerboa (the most mature), Lemmur (abandoned), and Thunder (currently broken)
While there are a few apps for Lemmy now, afaik this is the only app currently for Kbin users. More competition in the space will only make all of the apps better in my opinion.
There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It doesn’t bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.
Since when is more choice a bad thing?Especially now when we’re at the beginning of everything blowing up in popularity. Im going to try all the apps and decide which UI I like using most, just like I did with RiF, relay, sync, etc. The more developers the fediverse attracts the better imo.
It’s just like, at what point are your goals so similar that you might as well collaborate?
As a programmer myself, collaborating on projects can often be more complex than simply “adding features.” It’s not uncommon to encounter challenges such as mismatched preferences in technologies, differing architectural choices, or even divergent design aesthetics that can dampen interest. Besides that, the original creator may not even appreciate the proposed changes and could reject them.
More clients is always cool, I hope Infinity for Reddit dev makes a port to Lemmy. I’m surprised that being FOSS there is still no community port or a fork or nobody has mentioned it yet (or at least I am not aware of it).
Ok, sharing mastodon posts isn’t as easy as I thought 😅
That’s fine, that’s what the development lifecycle is for :P
Awesome! If you need beta testers let us know 💖
Edit: found the link in your comments, added myself 👍
Shame on me, sorry. I’m just excited to see how quick all of this comes together.
All good, just trying to point her out in case you wanted to follow her
Damn this looks incredible, can’t wait for release
Nice! If I may, can i add a feature request? Can you also add a way to hide seen posts? But the app looks awesome so far, its exciting how quickly this platforms are growing.
Using jerboa for Android and this is one thing I sorely miss.
This is already a feature in lemmy itself. You go to user settings, and uncheck “show read posts”. Works in Jerboa.
Sorry I misread the comment I replied to. I’m using that feature you mention and it’s quite useful. What I actually miss is being able to hide a post without reading it. I used that feature a lot in RIF.
Looks Great! Can’t wait to give this a try.
