It’s my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.
If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?
IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.
I have forked the three aforementioned mobile apps here and will try to ‘drum up’ support from developers wherever I can find them.
Please, if you don’t feel comfortable talking to me about this here, then send me a private message. Thank you.
I made jerboa like a month ago, and I’m not an android dev; I had to learn android programming from scratch.
Its not that any of these mobile apps have taken a back seat; I wouldn’t have made making a native android one a priority if I didn’t think mobile apps are important.
The issue is that even though all of these are open source projects, very few experienced coders contribute to them, so I welcome your effort to find more development help. All of the ppl currently working on lemmy, its web app, and its mobile apps are spread very thin.
Even with that said, I’m very proud of all the work put in by these devs, and I have no doubt they will continue to improve their apps, but on their own schedule. If you want things done faster, the codebase is right there.
Just a month ago? I’m using it to post this message and I’m incredibly impressed with how far you’ve come!</fanboy>
That message is a year old now :) But yes its coming along.
Oh damn, still learning the UI here… Thanks nevertheless!
Sending this message from jerboa. Thank you very much for making it possible.
Are there current issues that the community can help with?
Sure, plenty. Check the issue tracker and dive in!
Lemmur does not let me add any instance. Jerboa is barely usable.
