The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android. (imgur.com)

I wonder what api are they using for kbin

[–] couragethecowardlydog@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna assume scraping

[–] boings@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah she said in a post she had to build her own thing, so that's what I assumed

You love to see it - keep up the great work and would love to use it once it’s available!

[–] rephlekt2718@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Looks great! Looking forward to being able to minimize already-read comment threads again!

[–] electriccars@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Please also take inspiration from Reddit Sync Pro!!! I would love an app that is taking the best features from both apps!

Sounds awesome! I'm commenting, so I can find this thread later. I can't figure out how to bookmark it.

[–] davids_laughter@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Haha same! I think it looks and sounds awesome too so far. But I can't figure out how to bookmark either.

why is the number of upvotes displayed separately from the upvote/downvote buttons? Same also for the comment count/button

Never used Apollo, but great news to have multiple ways to interact.

About the app being proprietary or open source it shouldn't matter. The foundation is federated community, the ways to interact can be federated too. Mix of open source and proprietary.

@Lilkev nice app!

[–] Velvet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Never used the og app dye to being an android user but I'll definitely give this one a shot.

[–] scrof@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Great news!

[–] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pleeeeassse don’t require iOS 16 like another Lemmy app is doing…

[–] Dewa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for this

[–] Servatis@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome!

[–] gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This looks amazing, but is it IOS only? :/

Jerboa is definitely a little rough at present with how early the work is on it... it'll be great to have different options!

[–] sylverstream 1 points 1 year ago

Looking awesome!

[–] HankJW@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Great, thanks!

[–] Gazumbo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This is great, be able to access both Kbin and Lemmy from one app would be so much easier.

I know it's early days yet to asking about features but just wondered if you plan to have a built-in image/video/gif player so thay you don't have to external sites to view content?

[–] Jode@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Is there a way to integrate the lemmy community browser into this to be able to Searcy communities across different instances?

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I think it looks great! I’ve been keeping up with them, but the name is great, too.

I’m happy to have an Apollo clone. Apollo was such a masterfully done app.
