I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?

That’s pretty cool! But if thats the closest thing, I think I can safely say this is a unique feature in the non terminal ui class of Lemmy clients.

I like jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim for editing markdown, though tbh I've mostly just used it to check/uncheck todo lists.

Thanks! Android requires me to add like a dozen manual closed beta testers via email before I can create an open beta test. I was thinking about just skipping beta testing and going directly to Play Store.

I'll DM you details soon. Even if I do launch Android directly to Google Play, I still would love some feedback from someone that daily drives Android. I'm looking at everything though the lens of an iOS user.

Yes! I was thinking exactly that. I’m just not sure exactly how to go about that (just start DMing server owners?). I was also thinking I want to achieve a certain level of polish before I approach anyone, but I tend to be a little too much of a perfectionist.

The last two big things I’m missing are signup flow and messages. After that, I think it’s mostly bug fixes and minor improvements.

My plan is to catch people’s attention with the web app but encourage people to download the native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, and I’m thinking about adding Linux. iOS and Android are currently in beta.

What I really need are a few more users. I’m pouring a lot of time into developing this. I’m realizing marketing an app is a whole other skill that I don’t have.

A few users would both help me feel like I’m building this for someone, and hopefully provide some feedback.

Try it!

I haven’t seen another Lemmy client that lets you write code in your post with real-time syntax highlighting. It’s not just code. Write your posts in rich text without toggling between Markdown and preview.

There are a lot of Lemmy clients, so I’m sure someone else does this. But I wanted to share in case anyone else finds this helpful.

You should be able to share what you build on codepen. Make something cool and post the link here!

 

The entire app has been rewritten. This is to address performance issues, make Android possible, but most importantly, it lays the groundwork for more work to come!

Theres also a ton of small bug fixes included in this release.

Android Beta - looking for testers!

  • Google requires me to do some closed beta testing before I can open it to the public
  • DM [email protected] with the email associalted with your Google account for access (this is temporrary)

Edit: iOS is waiting on approval from Apple. Expect an update from TestFlight in the next 24-48 hours. Web, macOS, and Android area all ready to test today!

Quick update:

I've been working on this project for a few months. After fighting some of the technical choices I've made, I've decided to rework some big components of the app. The next version, which will likely be 1.1.0, will take a few weeks, but should improve performance on iOS and will also launch on Android.

Because I'm rewriting a large portion of the app, it will likely be a 1 step back 2 steps forward situation. You may notice some steps back on iOS, but ultimately it this will synchronize web with Android/iOS better making it easier to manage all 3 projects and meaning better apps on all platforms in the near future.

Thanks again for everyone's support so far! Please keep your feedback coming, though I likely won't be able to address that feedback until I finish this major update in a few weeks.

Try it!

If you already have either the iOS or the Mac app it should prompt you to update. You can relaunch the Mac app to trigger the prompt.

Changes

  • Add setting to hide read posts in feed
  • Fix comments not showing up after submitting
  • Fix bug where saved posts feed was only showing posts local to your server
  • Refresh inbox tab more frequently
  • Cache user profiles
  • Improve performance of post feeds (most noticeable on iOS)
  • Fix dark mode flicker
  • Fix youtube embeds where video ID contains dashes
  • Increase the sizing of the login form to make it to use

Appreciate all the feedback so far!

I'm struggling a little to get the performance I want on iOS. I'm curious if anyone is using an older iPhone. I would love to hear if you think the app feels snappy enough or if there's room for improvement. If you could leave a comment or DM me with the phone your using and what you think.

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows
