The android apk should be here this weekend. It's a one man team working on the development atm.
Honestly that's great news, but wouldn't a web version have made wayyyyyyy more sense?
Yeah he's decided to work on a web ui, no eta on that atm tho.
prolly should have spent more time on that than marketing an unfinished 'product''. its kind of telling also that it works in an app better than a simple web api. im betting this shits not going to scale well.
If apps are native, I think it makes sense. No one watches short videos from PC.
I am no one
me too. apps are for children.
wtf is the point of federation if it doesnt work on the systems its federating to like the boatload of browser-based systems??
Sure, but my first month of Lemmy was via the web. I still use Mastodon on the web (no app). Whenever I find myself on Reddit (via search) it's web only. If someone sends me a random YouTube link, I open it in the web. On the off chance someone sends me a random TikTok link, web only.
Again I don't use any of these apps, but if someone sends me a loops link and it says install the app, I'll just ignore it.
wait... one-man-show? the same guy who maintains pixelfed which still hasn't a proper mobile app yet?
pixeldroid is okayish
just tried it out and it crashed when I tried to open a video... so yeah
