Hoping to have a private beta test within a month or two. For now calling the app Kmoon (K🌛)

EDIT: the app will be x-platform (iOS, Android and Mac)

Have you gotten the API to work, or are you just scraping the site? I haven't been able to get the API to work, but I've messed around a bit with scraping to work on a desktop app

Uff yea, it was a bit of work, more so than building the app so far.

I’m setting everything up so when the API goes live I can just swap and replace the unofficial API service I’m hosting. but it’s good enough to help get the app fleshed out in the meantime :)
