    Your first error was to create a reddit app.
    Your second error was to not create or contribute to a Lemmy app instead.

    Hope that helped. :)

        And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.

        The comments:

        • person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
        • person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
        • person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”

        Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”

        Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)

            Blorp lol. Don’t ask about the name. Very much a work in progress, but I’m aiming for a public beta in 2ish months. Though I know it’s very likely I’ll be the only one that uses it.

            As an Android/iOS app, Blorp will cache the data (and optionally images) offline. So any feeds/posts that are already loaded you will be able to read offline.

            Right now that’s the biggest feature setting me apart from Voyager, but I want to keep iterating and improving.

            This is the website version, which admittedly is a bit more clunky than the iOS/Android app. https://blorpblorp.xyz
