Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn’t find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Features:
- Material U
- Dark and Light themes
- List view / Card view / Fullwidth view
- Filter lists for hiding posts
- Multiple accounts + switcher across multiple instances
- Guest accounts for viewing an instance without signup
- Search and community autofill
- Markdown support + attempt to navigate links correctly (/u/foo will open that user instead of browser kickout. Same for /c/, !, and @)
- Saving posts
- full sort types
- NSFW view options (hide, blur, show)
- copy text and url on all posts and comments
- add comments, replies, and new posts
- comment replies with line indicators
Here’s other screenshots:
Future plans:
- Improving the inbox
- Swipe actions
- Multi-~~reddit ~~communities
Thank you for taking a look. I hope others who are migrating from Reddit like me will find the app useful and I’d love to know your thoughts!
Edit: Community for the app is here: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect
The app looks great! Feels very fluid.
I have only three requests:
- make it FOSS in spirit of the fediverse (obviously you don’t have to, that’s your choice)
- give me a way to download pics from inside the app. I very often download memes and share them in other chats. You’ve got open external, which works, but it’s an extra step. Downloading in app would just be more convenient.
- lastly, give me a way to buy you a beer 😁
Hey, black cat! From the screenshots, your app looks very promising. Would you consider making it FOSS, though? Just asking.
I would strongly recommend open-sourcing it! There are several FOSS apps already and it would be hard to compete against them without opening up =]
Thank God there’s a filter setting 😭😭😭 sorely missed coming from infinity. First thing filtered? “reddit.”
That UI looks really clean. I love it. Is it open source? Not that i dont trust you but i try to not use any closed source apps anymore, i would appreciate it if you would share the link to the source code.
