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).

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

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 12 points 2 years ago

This one at least will be on Android and iOS

[-] TheGayTramp@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Only for Lemmy. Not natively for Kbin, although you can access it via federated Lemmy instances.

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

There's three. Jerboa (the most mature), Lemmur (abandoned), and Thunder (currently broken)

[-] ono@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

It doesn't bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.

[-] Xathonn@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Artemis is for Kbin as well. The original working name was kmoon

[-] jinno@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Danny-Champlin433@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

gotta start somewhere.

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy has 2 apps. I believe this is the first for Kbin, but it also works for lemmy.

[-] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

And we only need one big instance of kbin, and a single web browser, OS etc

[-] Pankakke@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 years ago

It's just like, at what point are your goals so similar that you might as well collaborate?

[-] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Collaboration is great but you wouldn't tell a solo musician to just join a band because they make similar music. I look forward to checking out everyone's take on their app ideas.

[-] SilverRetriever@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I went through four different reddit apps before finding the one I loved (RIP boost). Jerboa is nice but it'd be great to have options

[-] balder1993@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
