I second this. Will it be open source in the future?
Unfortunately it is unlikely that I will open source this project but we shall see. I respect the open source community, I just historically have enjoyed working close source more.

Is it on fdroid and is it foss? I have no access to google play or any other google service by choice and i only use foss apps whenever possible.
Second this! After everything we've been through with Reddit and Twitter, a lot of users are wary of closed-source/closed-data apps and services. Open source values are what brought us to Lemmy in the first place! An open source app is in keeping with that.
This will be proprietary. We need to support Libre Software instead. For example Jerboa app.
May I ask why you don't use any of those?
Because google exerts centralizing control over things. Where i live here in the US if you are not on the play store you may as well not exist. I am led to understand that in much of the eastern world such as china having multiple app stores and such is quite common. I personally choose not to use services from these large companies firstly to limit their abuse of my data, and secondly because most of these companies are american and must bow the knee to the american governmyth to continue to exist. The internet was made to not have a central point of failure, yet what would happen if Google, AWS, and Microsoft all just vanished? Complete chaos would happen over much of the internet and the largest impact would be to western companies.

Do you have a public git for this?
Hell yeah man, you cranked that out so quick, I don't know what language you're writing it in, but let me know if you want some help with any features, I'd love to pitch in!
I'm a mid level dev
The work is pretty manageable at the moment so I should be ok. Thank you for the offer!
No prob, let me know if that changes!
Oh yeah, I just found a bug with upvoting :(. I'll try to do a quick release in a bit.
An update with the fix has been submitted to the play store. It should become available in 30 - 60 minutes.
Nice progress so far, the UI looks clean and easy to use. Though the name Reader is a little confusing to me - is it only for viewing / reading posts, or will you also be able to create new ones and comment on them?

Getting some RiF vibes, and that's such a refreshing feeling in a era of bloated corporate apps.
I like it a lot so far.
Nice and clean UI, I like it! Still missing quite a few functions (unless I'm blind) though.
Can I currently only browse 'all', or 'local' for lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and lemmy.world? Or is there a way to switch to subscribed or local for other instances that I just didn't find?
Subscriptions will be added in a future version. This was a very barebone release just to get early feedback test for bugs.
Damn, seem like a nice app. Coming from the Baconreader for Reddit app, this feels more familiar than Jerboa. It's also one of the fastest feeling apps on my Nokia 7.2 (which is getting quite slow in some apps). Not feature-rich enough yet to replace Jerboa, but I'm keeping an eye on it nonetheless

Nice app. Feels a lot better than jerboa already, even if it's just in early access. Have high hopes for this. Keep it up!
This is excellent. I started work on an android app cause it seemed like nobody was doing anything. This is already looking like i should have just been patient.
Its so much nicer to use than jerboa, i just hope its feature par with jerboa soon so i can hop ship
Edit: please also consider uploading to FDroid?

Have you heard about Jerboa?
Using it now. Fair to say its pretty bad
Agreed. Please continue yours friend, if there were 20 good apps right now then that would be one thing, but there are zero.

Damn mate, this is pretty substantial already. Well done!
Yeah it turned out pretty good for 1 week worth of work while working a full time job. Now to keep this up for at least another month :D
Not appearing for me at all in the play store. I'm in the US if that matters.

Gave it a spin. Looking good so far. And yeah, there is definitely a voting bug.
Looks great! This'll be fun to watch come together, good work!
Thank you!
I really like it. It's fast and feels nice to use, with a tighter interface. I'll be looking forward to it getting more features.
Neat! Hope you don't mind but it reminds me of early Reddit Is Fun. Good luck!
That was one of the inspirations. Thanks!
Major props to you! This feels really slick so far, and I'll definitely be excited to see where Summit and all of the other upcoming Lemmy apps go!
Is this compatible with kbin?
I have no idea. You can try to see if you can sign in. I assume kbin and lemmy's APIs differ so I would say no, but I've not tested anything.
Pretty nice app!
What's the "Goto" thing? "Enter reddit link"?
Also is there a way to view my subbed communities as a feed? And where is the list of communities in my sidebar pulled from?
Any plans for open source?
What’s the “Goto” thing? “Enter reddit link”?
Goto was a debug option that was supposed to be hidden in the release build. But I must have messed something up LOL.
is there a way to view my subbed communities as a feed
Not at the moment. Implementing the community tracker (left pane) will likely be the next thing I work on.
where is the list of communities in my sidebar pulled from?
This is just a list of the biggest communities.
Awesome! I'm trying out both Jerboa and Summit
Good job, looks great!
What are the chances for an iOS one? :D
This is great! Thank you for sharing :)
Looking good! I'm excited to be able to eventually view only my "subscribed" feed though.
