Any third-party apps being developed? (kbin.social)

I've heard there's an official kbin app in very early stages. I don't know who's working on that, but it's not in the 2023 roadmap that Ernest has shared in the sidebar - and it rightfully doesn't need to be a main focus at this early stage. I know most people reading this have probably just gotten here as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if a developer out there has already started. The PWA (web app) experience isn't bad on mobile. It's no native app though. Lemmy has that going for it, and I'd love for that experience here on kbin.

I think one of the big 3rd party developers throwing their weight behind Kbin or Lemmy right now could get a lot of attention in this news cycle. I think they've all expressed they'd rather work on other things than just shift their app to a competitor though. Which is a shame, I'm really going to miss the polish of Apollo.
