While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen
(media.kbin.social)
Apps are always nice, but lots of mobile websites, including the kbin one, are entirely functional as an app. In your browser you can just make a shortcut to them, and they'll appear on your home screen and act as an app.
In technical terms these are Progressive Web Apps, but it means you don't need to wait for someone to write an app (or kbin to have a good API for doing so) to use it like an app on your phone.
In Firefox it looks like this. Open the website, in the menu hit Install, drag the icon to your desktop. When you click on it it'll open the site like it's a standalone app.
Chrome is exactly the same, but the menu button is "Install App" instead.
It seems I'm the only one who seems to get logged out from one visit to the next...?
Even if I don't close my mobile browser/tab; if I've not been active on it for some hours (haven't yet worked out what the cutoff is), I find I have to login again.
Happens on both Firefox and Brave for Android.
Happens to me too - I click the 'remember me' option but it never does. Hopefully a mobile app will be better.
It happens to me, as well, on Safari for iPhone, even with the "remember" check box selected. Oddly enough, I have an account on a different Kbin server, and it keeps me logged in.
