Mobile Applications (Android and iOS) soon? (lemmy.ml)

I see on the project website that the apps are coming soon, but I also see a link for development versions that won't expand for me. Is the link broken or is it just placeholder for now? What kind of timeline are we looking at before an application will be available? Will there be an alpha or beta we can sign up for?

I'm not trying to sound impatient at all. I know these things take time. Just curious.

The dev from Mlem (iOS app for Lemmy) said that it’s not possible to log into kbin from his app because of some code limitations. It’s sad that app made for Lemmy aren’t compatible with kbin. But I don’t know maybe it’s obvious that both are different 🤷‍♂️

I think an app is pretty much mandatory to have users permanently settle at kbin, since most people use their phone to browse reddit and similar sites nowadays. I would look into contributing to that end myself, but right now the mobile repository seems to be in the process of being moved and I don't know where to even begin
