This is definitely the best I’ve seen so far. Commenting from it right now.

Every platform has their own little nuances, a Windows app will look drastically different than a Linux app; same goes for Android and iOS. It is near impossible to please everyone, and attempting to cater to everyone will more often than not results in sub par experience for everyone. While your tool chains may be able to compile to all these platforms, it may be a good idea to focus on one (or at most two very similar) platform(s), and provide a better experience for the targeted user group instead.

So I went to the GitHub but kinda confused how I get it on my iPhone

There's only information how to built it for now, wait a few days and check again if there's a link to testflight

Go to the app store, and install the app called Test Flight.

Then click the invite link here

Same icon, different app name 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah - the name was changed from Limbo to Liftoff, but they kept the same invite code.

It is the correct link though - that URL is identical to the invite URL in the newest Liftoff welcome post.

Thanks. I’ll give it a go then.

Is that needed on android too? The test flight app there looks shady.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No! TestFlight is an iOS only thing, Android would have its own way of enrolling in a beta, or just installing the .APK directly. Whatever you found is definitely shady.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

TestFlight is an Apple thing. There are ways to install Android apps that aren’t in the Play Store that the dev could use, but not by that name. Especially if it looks shady, stay well clear. I’m afraid I use an iPhone so I can’t help with more specific details on how to install this specific app.

So weird, Testflight calls this app Limbo. But on the Home Screen it’s “Liftoff!”

[–] Targox 2 points 1 year ago

Fantastic! I do prefer Mlem for the swipe to vote and tap to collapse that is already implemented. But it’s obviously still al very early release for Limbo; good luck to the devs!
