As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!
Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?
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
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
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.
Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.
Just signed up - thanks for the tip!
Same, I’d love to beta test.
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.
@Lilkev nice app!
why is the number of upvotes displayed separately from the upvote/downvote buttons? Same also for the comment count/button
Can’t wait for this
That looks great! iOS and Android? Can’t wait to try ut!
Sounds awesome! I’m commenting, so I can find this thread later. I can’t figure out how to bookmark it.
Signed up for testing!
@hariette thanks!
So if this is the app what is the one that I downloaded already when browsing kbin from mobile web?
Sounds like you have a web app that opens in a browser, but tough to know without context of linking what you downloaded.
Isn’t that just a link to kbin?
