If you haven't been following the Interstellar magazine, I've added a lot of functionality since the last thread here, including views for magazines/users/domains, better navigation for wider screens, QoL additions (like the @ button to reveal originating domain, inspired by Artemis), and a lot of different bug/functionality fixes.

This latest update finally includes the ability to log in to a kbin account, and it's not even restricted to just one; you can log in to as many accounts (or view them anonymously) as you want.

Now that you can log in, you can also vote/boost threads and comments. In addition, you can subscribe/follow any magazine/user/domain. Finally, the feed view has tabs for Sub/Mod/Fav/All when logged in.

For would-be testers, here's the link to the latest working build: github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases (AppImage and APK).

The new kbin.earth server (open registration and API enabled) can be used for people wanting to test the app logged in, or maybe you just want to try a different instance.

Feel free to post any bugs or suggestions in the comments, on GitHub, or on the Interstellar magazine.

Edit: Here's a link to the matrix chat room: kbin-interstellar:matrix.org

So if my kbin account is in kbin.social, I am not able to login in the app at all?

That's correct, for now at least. It's not a limitation of the app, but that the API has not been enabled (by the kbin.social admin) on this server yet. At the moment, kbin.earth might be the only server that has working login functionality, but you could try some of the other API enabled kbin servers, it'll pop up an error if they don't work. See my related comment here.

Alright.
Well, I don't feel like creating an account for another instance so I'll sit tight and wait if I can login in the future!
