Any third-party apps being developed? (kbin.social)

I've heard there's an official kbin app in very early stages. I don't know who's working on that, but it's not in the 2023 roadmap that Ernest has shared in the sidebar - and it rightfully doesn't need to be a main focus at this early stage. I know most people reading this have probably just gotten here as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if a developer out there has already started. The PWA (web app) experience isn't bad on mobile. It's no native app though. Lemmy has that going for it, and I'd love for that experience here on kbin.

On the reddit app called Joey For Reddit they had a feature that quickly became a must have for me. It would automatically mark a post as "read" after you scrolled past it or clicked on it. The second part of this feature was a little button you could hit to hide all posts marked as "read". It constantly kept the frontpage fresh with posts I haven't seen yet. Please please please add that feature. It was the only reason Joey was the only app I could use.
