The lack of app for KBin kills it for me.
I have a account with KBin and I may use it as well if there's an app
On Android, you can add it to your home screen and it functions kind of like an app... it could definitely benefit from a native app, though.
Nobody is going to fly with mobile browser these days. It's App or die in this regard.
The biggest social media sites have apps. It's suicide. Heck, the reason these sites are having the mass infux is because Reddits app sucks. If it was amazing nobody would of really cared and the spez drama wouldn't have happened.
Just my 2c.
Yeah an official app would be great.
Even a fork of Jerboa or something could be a start!
Huh i thought jabora would be able to log into it
/cries in iOS
God, what I would give for Apollo to rip the Reddit API guts out and refit with Lemmy’s. He open sourced it so I’m sure someone will.
Didn't he open source the server backend? Not the app
Server backend stuff was to contradict the Reddit CEOs claims about Apollo being inefficient on the API.
Would be hilarious if all the third party reddit clients updated at the same time to connect to a completely new board.
You can do the whole ‘add to home screen’ and it sort of functions like an app in iOS.
But kbin looks fine in browser on iOS? Actually, I'm really happy I don't have to download another app to use it.
