In case any of you are itching to know where I am with this, I’m still working on it; last few days I upgraded a few of the libraries to simplify the build process, and laid the groundwork for a modern app database so I can hook up the offline mode stuff, and some of the other pages more dependent on local data. I know its not very visible stuff though, so I’ve been holding off tagging a new version until I add at least one new feature. I could probably use some testing soon so likely I’ll implement either posting, commenting, or the Go to Subreddit box for browsing to a specific community, unless there’s something you want more?
Given the size of the project and that you are working alone, please take the time you need to do the groundwork. And hopefully everyone will understand that developing a good app takes time and we can’t expect a fully functional app by the end of next week.
Extra notes for the techies; been kotlinifying the codebase as I go, its now mostly done, but vast swathes of the code in the original namespace needs serious redesign. There are some really great things in this, like I just came across the subsampling imageview which is a brilliant idea, but its undermined a bit by mindbogglingly bizarre things like using sharedpreferences to communicate the result of a folder chooser dialog. Notably, I’ve added some homegrown error reporting in this, that auto posts a github issue with stack trace on crash, which I’m real happy about, and I’m sure will get a battering once I tag a release
Hi. Just found out that my favorite Reddit app is switching over to Lemmy. When you release the iOS version, I’m absolutely going to try it out, probably even pay for it, like did with the previous one.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be trying to work on the iOS version, unless at the very least I can find a codeveloper who has an iDevice
