I have both and prefer kbin from a UI side on desktop, but the lack of android app means I dont use it on mobile yet.
I was just about to ask if there were any good Android apps for Kbin... I remember creating an account on the website a while ago but because I mostly browse on my phone I ended up on Lemmy in the end. I'd like to give Kbin a fair shot once a working Android app is released though.
There is Artemis. You can apply to enter the beta on their community
I’ve been using kbin as a mobile pwa on iOS without issue. It’s been getting better a little bit every week.
I finally got my changes out to the Android PWA and I'm super happy with how it's working now. Beforehand it had an ugly icon and no shortcut / action icons. Now it's fairly good looking.
There's a change coming to the "themes" section which I'm happy for. Love getting through these updates
This may just be my device but I have to kill the PWA if I stop using it for around 10+ minutes, else I just get a black screen. Not the biggest problem but a bit annoying because I lose whatever thread I may have been reading.
Agree 100%. I don’t feel I need an app with the pwa on iOS.
That's fair. There's been a lot of PRs and issues focusing on mobile (like adding collapsible comments) but being a community project it all takes time to get it approved and pushed.
I'm keen on getting through as many mobile / UX centric improvements to mobile since that's primarily how I use kbin.
The Artemis app is in beta and it's looking pretty promising. Definitely still some bugs, but the UI is dead simple and easy to customize. Switching to a subbed only view works well too. The official mag is m/artemisapp
