As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!

[–] Lee@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Same, I'd love to beta test.

[–] TraceGallant@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.

Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?

[–] entropicshart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.

iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).

While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.

I think they meant Free as in Open Source

Any chance the Android build will make it to F-Droid?

[–] Teon@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I also want it in the F-Droid repos.

That looks great! iOS and Android? Can’t wait to try ut!

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, iOS and Android! Also, all this work has been done in less than a week. It's crazy.

[–] joshuarupp@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

You just made my night! Thank you!!

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

The more options the better. I'm excited to try the Android version.

[–] blahaj@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

This looks super promising! I love the inspiration from Apollo being a user for many, many years. Looking forward to a testflight/release :)

[–] Shortcake@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great job all involved! So happy to see people trying to make usability apps/features! The color indicators for chat are great!

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

So far all of the dev work has been done by Hariette herself. Full credit to her, I'm just promoting it because it really looks quite great in my opinion.

[–] buedi@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I am looking forward to it, and I love that it's made for both major platforms :-)

[–] DBT@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Every app that ever gets created for this will be called an Apollo “Clone” or “copy” and twenty years from now people will ask, “what was so special about Apollo”?

You just had to be there I guess.

[–] GreenCrush@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'll be speaking this way about Relay on android.

I'm in the majority, but I don't even care if an app gets made (obviously I support it though). I used Apollo on Reddit, because Reddit's mobile design was complete shit. However, Kbin and Lemmy actually look great in a mobile browser, so I really have no need for a separate app.

Can we help the project?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Artemis is a great name for the app by the way.

Oh shit I'm in the screenshot!!

Im a Lemmy dude but this app looks awesome. Good job

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Neat. I’m in that discord and very exited

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It's taking shape, exciting times!

[–] Kuro@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hoping for a RIF style theme, I really appreciated the simple information dense style it has

Needs an option to move the arrows to the right-hand side so I can scroll with my thumb and tap the arrows with the same thumb. Also, needs a light mode, quick account changing, and community muting for when browsing All.

[–] hariette@kbin.social 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ive been thinking about customizations like that while working on it. I want localization, so everything already has right to left support. I can use that piping to help w moving arrows.

Also, youll be able to double tap to vote ;)

(Community muting is a must for sure)

[–] lifeishard@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

@hariette

One thing I hated about Apollo was swiping gestures. I don’t use them and they get in the way so many times. Sometimes, I didn’t even know that I upvoted/downvoted a post unknowingly! I can’t disable it coz I’m a freeloade so I have no complaints.

I just want to suggest that it would be nice if you give users an option to disable the gestures if the app has them.

[–] hariette@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Noted, adding to my list of customizations I want to make 👍

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never used Apollo since I've always been an Android user, so I don't know what features will be inspired from it, so I wanted to ask whether there would be in-app browser support for links so it doesn't open other apps? And will there be plans for gesture navigation support like the Relay and Joey apps?

[–] hariette@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I used Relay for a couple years way back. You betcha I’m gonna get as much as I can in smooth gesture interactions 👌

And yea, it uses an in-app browser. Will expose config for those who want that off, also.

Also, I heard a lot of great things bout Joey, so I gotta get my hands on it 👀

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, now I'm even more excited! Thanks a bunch for putting time into this.

Got a link to your alpha/beta sign up? I'd definitely be interested and trying it out.

There is a light mode as well, I suggest joining the Discord server. Hariette is accepting ideas and feedback there.

it looks so beautiful

[–] AlbertMO2508@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now, let's wait for the Android one.......

[–] hariette@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Developing as x-plat codebase. And we have an equal split of beta testers across platform. So wanna prioritize em equally!

in the coming weeks there will be some waves of rollouts to testers. Hopefully we’ll go public not far from there :)

[–] drumdonuttea@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

@hariette

Thank you so much!

It will be for both, friend.

[–] MadWorks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow! This is really looking great.

[–] CosmicCraftsman@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yes! Can’t wait.

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Very excited for this

[–] cowvin@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely get it into beta as soon as you can. Many of us are happy to beta test.

[–] polaroid@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

And the race is on...
