Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app.
The app is very much still a work in progress, but I’s like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented:
Already implemented:
What’s next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP):
What’s still to do before I can call it a beta version:
What’s to come after:
Dreams:
Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can’t promise anything :)
EDIT:
This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could.
I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e
The app name probably will be “Beyond” as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous “To Infinity and Beyond” phrase :)
All things programming and coding related. Subcommunity of Technology.
This community’s icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Quick update today I worked on the sidebar, I’ve hidden the items buttons that still don’t do anything, added some icons, created a nice card for the logged in account. The only thing I am still not happy with is the contrast of the account name vs the background image, so I will look into something to fix that soon.
I am still not sure where to post this those kind of updates, maybe a community is not such a bad idea but I cannot create communities on beehaw, maybe I will create one on another instance and mod it from this account. In any case, I will post that info here too.
Another update, with basic post and comments view ready, we should be soon approaching an alpha release date so you all can have a look by yourselves :)
Just another quick update, I got the domain beyond.onl and I’m planning to run a small Lemmy instance there. I probably won’t be allowing account creations but I will be creating some official communities for Beyond announcements there.
The idea is to have a community where you can follow for new post updates about Beyond and comment, suggest features and improvements etc.
I will probably host it somewhere like Azure, I am not sure, as I have no idea of the costs associated with it, so I will be taking it very slowly and see how that will turn out. Maybe at some point I will open it up for new users too, let’s see :)
Not sure if this works Bruno, but here you can create a free server in the cloud:

Don’t understand what you need… Have a look
I am running my webserver here for free, works fine !!
can’t wait to try this out, thanks for all your hard work on this!!!
