Thanks to everyone who participated in the closed test program, we finally had the app accepted (again!) on Google Play. An “open testing” channel has been configured which now points to the last beta, but there are no more restrictions on who can participate in it.
Once I finish with the activities I’m working on – manly bug fixes for issues you have reported or small feature additions – I’ll be releasing a candidate for the production track. Thanks to all those who helped and to all new translators, your contribution was really welcome and will surely improve everyone’s experience.
I hope to see this project continuing to grow this year! #livefasteattrash #procyonproject
Why did you leave?
The application ID had changed after we renamed Kotlin packages, so it was not possible to publish the old app any more.
Great news! I got your App via Droid-ify repository, but it sure will increase in popularity if it’s available on the Play Store.
A huge thank you for developing this awesome app! I’ve tried a lot of different mobile clients for Lemmy in the past but Raccoon feels like it finally gives me everything I could ask for (the only feature I am missing is seeing the comment I reply to/quote but that is very minor). Seriously, you’re doing great work and your app is the fastest with loading posts. I’d gladly donate to you to honour your hard work, will see if there’s a donation tab in the app. 👍🏻
No there isn’t any donation tab, I’ll save you the time to look for it! 😉
My compensation consists in all the things that I’ve learned by doing it (about the Fediverse, about Lemmy, about Kotlin Multiplatform and about mobile development in general), the awesome people I’ve met online, and the fun I have when I code.
That’s awesome to hear, so it’s a real passion project for you! Reading about the goals on your project page made me download Raccoon in the first place, as it really resonates and aligns with my opinions about the fediverse.
However, if you ever change your mind because of financial hardships, let me know. I’d gladly support the developers of awesome apps through Ko-fi/PayPal donations. ✌🏻
