hariette@tech.lgbt - #kbin + #lemmy app is coming along. Here’s a preview of the upcoming beta. This is less than a week’s worth of work,  so it’s only up from here 😉

Based on polls, looks like Artemis is winning for the name. Which is a great tribute to #ApolloApp 🙏

Stalk my work and suggest ideas in the app’s Discord server (link in bio).

    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

      Artemis is going to be cross platform I’m pretty sure. Which is good. On Android, Jerboa is okay but still kinda rough.

          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.

      It doesn’t bother me at all. Alternatives mean more chances to find something that fits my needs.

      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.

      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)_/¯

      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.

          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.

          As a programmer myself, sometimes collaborate isn’t as easy as just “add features to it”. You might not like the choice of technologies and architecture of the other app or just have a different design taste that might prevent that. Besides, the original wonder might not like the changes you want to add abs reject it etc.
