I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!
The web is okay, kind of, but the mobile apps (what I mainly use to browse this stuff) are sorely lacking, especially on iOS.
I decided to write my own client (mostly for myself) and so far the API seems very straightforward. Might eventually publish it to the stores, if its mature enough.
It’s heavily based on Apollo (in case it wasn’t obvious). One might even call it a rip-off 😅
What I’d really like to work on after the basic navigation is done is discoverability. I think the platform really needs some improvement there.
Oh fuck yeah. I’ve been wanting to learn Swift maybe now is my time
