Hoping to have a private beta test within a month or two. For now calling the app Kmoon (K🌛)
Sign up here!
EDIT: the app will be x-platform (iOS, Android and Mac)
Will this be open source?
That’s fantastic. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, just doing my part to serve the community!
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!
iOS dev, making a cross platform app, inspired by how apollo was?! Oof, as an Android user, i cant wait! 👍
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!
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.
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.
Just signed up for the beta. Really looking forward to this!
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
I’m happy to see kbin apps start popping up so fast. Signed up for this beta.
I’d rather see Relay or Infinity inspired stuff but I guess it’s a first step for this type of field.
Noted. I’ll take a look at those and see what I can pull from them too.
You absolute legend. Make it paid and I’ll pay for it. This is how we win.
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.
It’d be nice to have a landing page like what Apollo has. One where you can favorite Magazines and the like.
I am definitely interested, but I have a question: if I entered the beta testing, what would be my responsibilities? I ask before I have never beta tested anything…
Like using an app but you can’t hate on it if anything is broken lol. Instead you have to submit feedback/issues so they can be addressed. But also, could just be new ideas in the form of feature requests.
I’ll prob setup a Discord and an issue tracker on github.
That’s fantastic news! Any chance it’ll be available on F-droid ?
I’ll take a look at that!
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.
