I'm right there with you - I'm making an app called flemmy, and I have 12 more tasks on my list before I'm putting it on the play store - should be this weekend at the latest. Iphone build shouldn't be that far behind. I can also make a desktop build if anyone wants it, but right now have no intentions to host a site myself - I strongly feel the data the app collects shouldn't leave your device
Version 1 is about creating something close to the Reddit apps I used to use, and it's there - just needs a little more polish (and to let you post... I'm more of a commenter, so I forgot that was a thing for an embarrassingly long time)
I can support all sorts of filters, from keywords to hiding specific posts to "snoozing" communities. I can also save your place when you change sort methods or accounts - it's what I always wanted for Reddit.
Also, I have support for redirecting links - Twitter to nitter, YouTube to pipe, etc.
Version 2 is going to focus on your feed. Already I connect to multiple servers (it's a real headache, but the foundation is there), so next is stitching feeds together and custom feed algorithms. What you mention is at the top of my list - a way to tweak the feed based on all sorts of filters.
Ideally, I want it to adapt to you - using upvotes and comments to tweak your feed. All on your phone - it's amazing what you can do on a phone when you're not interested in data collection
I just made [email protected], I'll post some screenshots when I need a longer break
Awesome, that you develop tools for lemmy! Thank you.
A question: Did you consider to publish your app on the F-Droid-Store? I only use apps from there and the only usable app for lemmy is jerboa. An alternative to that would be awesome, as it has quite a lot of problems.
