I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance Host" in the settings.

Here's a link to the source code (contributions welcome for those that know flutter): github.com/jwr1/interstellar.
For testers, here's the link to the latest working build: github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases (AppImage and APK).

Feel free to post any bugs or suggestions in the comments, on GitHub, or on the Interstellar magazine.

Again, this is just a prototype. If someone else is working on a better kbin app, I might just use that instead.

Awesome!

Just tested it.

  • The Mags tab shows mags but clicking them doesn't do anything
  • Changing Instance host to "kbin.social" gives me a "something went wrong" when I go back to the Feed tab. Also the magazines now give me the same "something went wrong"

I'm at Android version 12.

The individual magazine's page has not been implemented yet; I might try to work on that tomorrow. Unfortunately, kbin.social does not support the API yet (that's why karab.in was the default).

OK. Thought as much.
Got confused because I didn't see any English threads 😂

[–] jwr1@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Both kbin.run and kbin.melroy.org support the api and are english if you want to try those.

[–] Damaskox@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I took kbin.run.
I can see the threads and the comments within, and the up/downvotes.

One comment had white text on light-blue background so that's tough to read.

Yes, I noticed that. I think those are from citations (with >).

I was using the flutter_markdown package to render markdown. Fortunately, the text style can be changed, so once I get around to it, I'll fix the color issue.
