Frequently Asked Questions about Artemis

Technical details

What is Artemis using for building its user interface?

The Artemis UI is built with React Native + Typescript.

How does Artemis work with kbin?

Artemis uses its own API which scrapes kbin. This is only temporary until an official kbin API is available.

Will Artemis work with Lemmy instances?

While Artemis is primarily meant for kbin instances, it will eventually also work with Lemmy instances too.

Is Artemis open-source?

Artemis is currently not open-source yet, however it is planned in the future.

What mobile platforms is Artemis available on?

Artemis is available for iOS and Android.

How will testers get the app?

Internal Testers receive test releases first from expo.dev links, while Beta Testers will get releases from TestFlight (iOS) and Google Play Testing (Android).

How is login information stored within the app?

Login credentials are stored locally on your device and are fully encrypted.

Will Artemis support Linux* phones?

There are currently not any plans to support Linux devices, sorry!

*non-Android

Will microblogging work while logged into a Lemmy instance?

No, the microblogging feed will be hidden unless you are logged in with a kbin instance account.

Will there be any monetisation?

Yes, however the core functionality will be free forever. Special features that might need server upcosts (none at the moment) or "premium" skins will be monetised, primarily leaning on donations.

Roadmap

When will I have access to the beta?

Now.

  • Public Beta (0.2.0) release - Limited to the Artemis instance for new users until the official kbin API rolls out elsewhere
  • Public Beta (0.2.1) release - Lemmy API support

What key features will Artemis have?

Disclaimer: These are subject to change.

  • Collapsible comments and posts
  • Haptic feedback on vote, refresh, etc.
  • Seamless navigation with swipe gestures
  • Swipe voting on comments and posts
  • Easily distinguish users and posts not from your instance via the globe next to their name

Started using the app today and it looks pretty awesome. Could use some small UI improvements, but I'm sure that will be finetuned later
