beehaw.orgI am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress - BeehawHi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ml.docilealligator.infinityforreddit&hl=en&gl=US]. The app is very much still a work in progress, but I’s like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented: Screenshots [https://imgur.com/a/OMVcPh4] Already implemented: * Anonymous browsing; * Login; * Multiple accounts support; * Account switcher; * Post cards * Sorting posts by Lemmy’s sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc…); * Listing posts by Lemmy’s listing options (Subscribed/Local/All); * Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save; * Mark post as read; * Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background); What’s next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP): * Post view (see post’s comments); * Add a comment to a post; * Create a post; * A sexier selected account card on the sidebar; What’s still to do before I can call it a beta version: * Profile view; * Community view (rules mods other details); * Search; * Dark mode; What’s to come after: * Custom theming/Material You support; * Advanced post filters; * Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group); * A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible; * Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc) * Other cool misc options. Dreams: * Kbin and Mastodon accounts support. Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can’t promise anything :) EDIT: This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could. I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e [https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e] The app name probably will be “Beyond” as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous “To Infinity and Beyond” phrase :)

Also, am I just missing it or is there no way to simultaneously boost a post and add my own text to it on ?

Ugh, my apologies folks. Clearly still figuring out how to do this Lemmy/Mastodon federation thing.

Hey, what does the boost function do?

@Sophokles I started to answer this and then realized I wasn't really sure of the definition.

According to mastodon.help/#UsingMastodon, it's basically just a retweet in Twitter terms. That's what I would have guessed, but good to know for certain.
