The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android. (imgur.com)

As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!

[–] TraceGallant@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.

Just signed up - thanks for the tip!

Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?

[–] entropicshart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.

iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).

While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.

I think they meant Free as in Open Source

[–] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's not exactly the same. The Free Software movement is about user freedom. Open Source is a term used by corporations to avoid mentioning that users should have rights.

Libre, not gratis

[–] Freesoftwareenjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I meant freedom and not price: https://youtu.be/Ag1AKIl_2GM

We want to be able to make sure the app doesn't do anything malicious (like spy on us) and be able to change it to fit out needs. Like we can with Lemmy.

[–] Lee@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Same, I'd love to beta test.

[–] reddit_sux@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

Never used Apollo, but great news to have multiple ways to interact.

About the app being proprietary or open source it shouldn't matter. The foundation is federated community, the ways to interact can be federated too. Mix of open source and proprietary.

why is the number of upvotes displayed separately from the upvote/downvote buttons? Same also for the comment count/button

@Lilkev nice app!

[–] Dewa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for this

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds awesome! I'm commenting, so I can find this thread later. I can't figure out how to bookmark it.

[–] joshuarupp@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That looks great! iOS and Android? Can’t wait to try ut!

[–] hihusio@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@hariette thanks!

So if this is the app what is the one that I downloaded already when browsing kbin from mobile web?

[–] Elegast@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Isn't that just a link to kbin?

[–] Ado@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like you have a web app that opens in a browser, but tough to know without context of linking what you downloaded.
