Starting to test Android builds before we start our incremental rollout (private beta). We’re going to onboard an Android dev to make sure we get an authentic experience. On top of user feedback. So for sure not the final form! Still, feels good to use already!

Thank you so much, as an Android user I would love to have an app that is designed with Apollo in mind.

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

It's looking good!

Very excited to try it out! I applied for the beta.

[–] tool@r.rosettast0ned.com 2 points 2 years ago

I certainly hope that you're going to charge for this app. That one screenshot looks better than almost every other Android client that exists, and I think I've tried them all at this point.

For comments, my biggest ask is to have toggles/buttons to jump to the next top level comment. Will that be in the initial build?

[–] cyder@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Either that or collapsible comments

[–] klin@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

collapsible comment trees already work!

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aaahhh!!! That's kinda embarrassing to see my name show up on a screenshot!

Also that's really cool! Will there be avatar implementation?

[–] cybersandwich@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You are basically famous now. Will you sign an autograph for me?

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Yes but you will have to accept paw prints

[–] swope@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When will @Saturdaycat being doing their AMA‽

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Oh gee, mom I am internet famous now!

[–] Kill_joy@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Gorgeous. Fingers crossed for dark mode eventually!

Edit: apparently there is already! Hooray!

[–] Pankakke@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Not a Dev on the app, but other screenshots that have been shared have shown a dark mode so it’s definitely included.

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Dark mode exists! I believe it is just a setting that can be turned on/off.

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aren't the buttons a little too big, even by mobile app standards?

[–] klin@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

design still WIP/rough — we’re rushing to get the core functionality implemented! tho agreed IMO the button and proportions can def be adjusted

[–] virgil31@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

So much this.

All that vertical space could be replaced by a single, inline "menu button" that opens a contextmenu in overlay with all the possible actions (Reply, Share, ...).

But it will be for sure available in a future release ;)

[–] Rodsterlings_cig@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Love the boost icon, as a boost for reddit enjoyer!

[–] BambooPanda@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't realise it was being developed for Android as well! That's great news. It's looking good so far! Thanks for the hard work!

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Aw yes, some Android love finally ❤️ keep up the great work!

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I like apollo, but... this feels like a weird amalgamation of iOS. Could you consider maybe using Material?

[–] ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The post buttons are comedically large, but otherwise this looks clean! Any dark mode screenshots?

Also, what does the rocket button do?

[–] i_need_a_vacation@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Looks great, thank you for doing this!

This is good to know, I had heard that this was the app to watch, but also that is was only on ios. I'll keep an eye on this!

Can there be an option for the reply threads be folded by default?

I feel like folded replies are the default on most threaded forums, but I realize most Artemis users will be Reddit refugees and the default is for reply threads to be expanded.

Thanks!

[–] parrot-party@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would greatly not prefer that. Only showing top level comments means that no one would get their bad takes reined in automatically. You'd have to make the effort to see whether the replies are with or against the comment.

[–] swope@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Would the upvote/downvote numbers be an indicator?

Anyway, I would like to have the option in the app settings to fold threads, but like I said before, most reddit refugees are going to be used to expanded threads -- so I think that should be the default setting.

[–] exscape@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Options are always good -- there's no need to activate it if you don't like it. Presumably the default for such a setting would be off.

[–] ViridianNott@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's one hell of a post to pick to feature in your promo!

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

We were just talking about the contents of the image after posting. We just wanted to show off the features of how a link appears within a post and didn't think about the contents of the screenshot 😅

[–] Aelar64@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Feels wrong with iOS design language on Android instead of material design - looks good nonetheless

[–] hariette@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I was just commenting about that! We’re getting Android peeps to make sure that uncanny feeling is not there on v1.
