Been trying the place and just have jerboa a shot in comparison. The actual app is better by miles. So much faster than the browser.

    Clean animations, simple tap to collapse threads

    App > browser for now

    tap to collapse threads

    I haven't been able to collapse threads on Jerboa, how do you do that? Am I missing something?

    At first it wasn't doing it for me but since last night it has

    Tapping anywhere in the text of a comment seems to do it, holding like i would back on Boost for Reddit simply removes the extra toolbar at the bottom, and the title area did nothing

    Sometimes it just doesn't but i find restarting the app fixes that, though i usually just move on to the next topic when that happens

    Until the websocket issue is fixed, I'm gonna stick with Jebora

    The WPA's layout is not crazy good on mobile, but at least I got some real estate.

    Now, how can I contribute? I'm a frontend web developer.

    As an alternative, there's also Native Alpha and Hermit (my personal favorite) on Android. Play with the settings to make it full screen and frameless (no address bar at the top). It also has pull down to refresh.

    On kbin, you can then go to your settings and sticky the navbar as well so that it's always at the top as you browse. Personal preference and all that.

    Still a better user experience than the official Reddit app.

    Thats cool, but now it doesn’t have a back button… how do you navigate?

    Probably via a swipe from the phone site? Most modern phones do this

    That’s what I assumed as well, but Kbin won’t swipe….

  • At least for lemmy it works in my iphone - i dont use the kbin variant unfortunately…

    Probably you could try to zoom out of the page before the swipe… Sometimes, if a website is wider than the screen, the back swipe does not work correctly

    I use jerboa for lemmy. Not sure how different it is though. Never used that webapp

    I find that jerboa has some missing features that are there in the web app. Things like being able to go from a comment in your inbox to that same comment in context in it's thread.

    Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn't already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.

    I love that this is possible and I gave it a go but for some reason scrolling in the browser is really hard to do, it keeps adding new posts while I'm scrolling and moves everything around making it near impossible to actually read, I thought it might be just loading still but it doesn't ever come to a stop, not sure if this is just me ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Some days, I feel like I'm the only person that used Reddit and never touched any of the applications for it.

    First thing I did. Makes it a little more app like. Still can’t wait to see what clients get released in the next few months.

  • [–] 8 points 3 years ago

    Makes it very difficult to open posts in a new tab though, I scroll and open like 6 posts to go through afterwards.

    I believe this next drop of iOS is going to support push notifications in safari. Are there plans for the pwa to support this? It’s the only reason I really use native apps anymore.

    Both have native apps on Android and iOS that are better imo.

    Yes even KBin has an Android app now too.

    Thanks for that. It's actually a lot better than the app I'm currently using, lol. (Though, I'm sure it will improve).

    this was the first thing i did upon discovering kbin.. and I use it for a lot of other sites too, namely forums and the like.

    Using this on Firefox on my s23 works really well.

    Don't forget to check out !kbinStyles@kbin.social for UX improvements (which will work on mobile Firefox)

    Yeah! Kbin PWA is great. (Though there's a very small amount of sidescroll that makes my frontend web dev heart cry a bit... maybe I should open a pull request for it :))

    Though it seems to override my screen orientation settings, making it hard to read while lying in bed XD

    I had never heard of this and I was really confused how I got a kbin app on my phone. When I got home and tried to "install the app" on my tablet I couldn't figure out how to install it. I searched on the Play Store and couldn't find it. I double checked the app information on my phone's icon and it said "Installed from the Google Play Store", so I was really confused.

    Thank you for posting, didn't know this.

    I'd like to add that for Android users installing Kbin, if you can't find the app anywhere, it's listed as "/kbin" at the bottom of your app drawer because of the backslash. Lemmy users will find it sorted under "L".

    Just FYI you can do this in the new version of MacOS (Sonoma) and add sites to your dock which is quite nice.

    Thank you just did this with Chrome on Android! Easier than having to open a new chrome tab every time for sure
