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 :)
This looks great, I’ll definitely be trying it once it’s out. It seems like you’ve got plenty of things to work on, but if I could suggest one extra thing that jerboa is missing, see if you can add the ability to swipe between posts while you’re in the comments. Sometimes I just want to swipe through every post in my feed instead of picking the posts I wanted to open
could you please try and port this feature as well? there are Zero third party apps that load new posts on frontpage after refreshing, infinity is the only one which has it, and it works flawlessly. hope we get something similar for lemmy too
@brunofin If it will only work with Lemmy, you could honor the original by naming it Lemfinity. If it will also work for kbin, maybe Threadfinity. Good luck.
Definitely. I miss multireddits. I’ve started to get around that by setting up an RSS feed for the first time in probably 10 years, but that just solves half of the equation- the content, but not the comments.
In theory, once you’ve connected with Mastodon you could just view hashtags as subscriber communities and any top level toots as posts. Leaving the replies to show as a thread. Then fix it to be seen in reverse if you’re in your Mastodon account.
Thank you all for all your comments and suggestions. I’ll go through them and try to answer as much as I can, I am generally quite busy on Tuesdays so I’ll probably be able to do it later at night today. In any case I am happy with the amount of support!
Post cards was the first thing I turned off in RIF. I don’t want a photo gallery, want a concise list of threads and maybe a small thumbnail at best. Thread title, domain of post’s link, how many comments and upvotes and the pertinent things to click, in as efficient a format as possible.
Do that and you can get like 10 posts per screen would makes browsing and scrolling very efficient.
Now, if you want to make it god-mode then add tabs at the top for queuing up stuff to peruse in detail.
I was 100% for Lemur, but Beyond is an excellent name. It’s slightly grandiose but vague. Like I always thought “Apollo” was a great name. It’s a cool word and it doesn’t really mean anything in the context.
Please, however you name this app, don’t call it “X for Lemmy”. Just call it Beyond. Or just Lemur, or whatever. I hate when all these devs triple the length of their app name by adding “for Reddit” or whatever at the end.
It could have a different name on the app store than the actuall app, ie. on Play Store Infinity is named “Infinity for Reddit”, but when instaled the app is named only “Infinity”, I was considering a similar aproach, what do you thinkl?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !programming@beehaw.org

Came here to say this, beaten to it! Lemfinity works for me.
I like those suggestions.
Looks good. I can’t wait to try it out. I’m liking Jerboa so far, but having more apps competing to be the best would be great.
Infinity was my absolute favorite, I shall watch this app with great interest 😁 lemme (Lemmy?) know if you need any additional testers
Thanks!

That feature can’t come soon enough, not only in mobile apps but also on the website itself

Cool cool cool, thanks for sharing! Will definitely give it a try. How can I follow you? Sorry, New to Lemmy.
I am not sure if as of now you can follow users on Lemmy, I saw this post shared on Kbin and apparently there I have a couple followers already :p
Could become super popular, good work!

I am saving this post for later :)
If you’re interested, I can put this in the stickied thread on !android@lemmy.ml
Thank you but not just yet :)

Good for you, I enjoyed Infinity and am very excited for this client to succeed. Go Bruno Finger go!
This is the way. Cards are the bane of UI design.
If it’s inspired by Infinity, you should call it Beyond
I m glad you mentioned it! after I posted this on Tuesday night, I came up with the same idea! To Infinity, and Beyond!
this makes too much sense not to
I was 100% for Lemur, but Beyond is an excellent name. It’s slightly grandiose but vague. Like I always thought “Apollo” was a great name. It’s a cool word and it doesn’t really mean anything in the context.
