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
It doesn't bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.
This one at least will be on Android and iOS
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.
TIL there is an android app.
Only for Lemmy. Not natively for Kbin, although you can access it via federated Lemmy instances.
There's three. Jerboa (the most mature), Lemmur (abandoned), and Thunder (currently broken)
That's great! I hope this would get people to take the app and use it more, I'm hearing alot from other people about how it's difficult to use.
Artemis is for Kbin as well. The original working name was kmoon
There’s an open need - and a winner isn’t really determined yet. Let’s see how it plays out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
gotta start somewhere.
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.
Is it available to try out yet?
Lemmy has 2 apps. I believe this is the first for Kbin, but it also works for lemmy.
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.
It's just like, at what point are your goals so similar that you might as well collaborate?
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.
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
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.
