Great core gameplay, multiple boring or just bad patches; devs who care more about their imaginary milsim being close to their imaginary reality than about player fun; slow content rollout (still no new race despite them being leaked many months ago)
In the end I had my fair share of fun but I see no real reason to come back.

I'm not saying their system is bad, but I am saying that it is still not tested for a large scale though.

Pretty sure it's crazy expensive on a large scale, I don't think that people will pay monthly fee to keep playing apex/val/insert game. And more than sure these companies will try to force players to pay for it :/ Previously I had a small chat with aimlabs devs about application of neural networks for it (detecting weird patterns and irregularities, that what NNs are good at as well) but as I understood it would be expensive as well since obviously you want to run the model on your backend's side... It's and endless war between both sides without silver bullet ATM and I don't really understand why people are so mad about my comment lol

Yes its one time for android, if you're earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there's also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you're just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

- fix own profile reloading (own comments/posts) - new option to swap colors for voting buttons :) - dynamic header added to post screen so far so good I think? Dynamic header works more or less nicely I hope. GPlay release will take some time because expo hit me with 3 hours queue for build.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the "official" way is one time €25 fee and that's it.

- new settings screen - data saving mode (settings -> behavior) that will not load images unless you open them - new dynamic header for general feed (settings -> look and feel) for now, later will be rolled to more screens if everything will go fine I know I've been slower with updates, but the app is fairly usable for now and I'm always happy to take feature requests into consideration. Want to experiment with new header for a bit as well... :)

With lemmy.world being down so much today I thought I'd better do this asap, to make everyone's experience easier. **new stuff** - Account picker. Is lemmy.world down again? Simply jump to your backup account on startrek.website and all's good! - User banners in all user profiles (if they exist) - Added notification toasts for a few more actions for clarity - Changed how followed communities are loaded. Now you see all and they're sorted alphabetically. Downsides? Can't see subscriber count... for now. - Some small stylistic changes across the app. Do you think that this release is good enough to turn open testing into full release in Google Play? I'm thinking about doing that next week maybe.

ok, fixed. Problem was, this link points to different lemmy instance and we have no way (at the moment) to transform this link to local instance on the fly, so we'll have to open it in browser for now.
github.com
- you can reverse voting buttons order in settings (I noticed that many people prefer it the other way) - posts and comments will no longer flash/change opacity when you touch them, so scrolling them will be less distracting - links to other instances will now open in browser instead of just failing with error (atm its impossible to grab local federated link from instance link sadly) - added button "show all comments" on posts where you're just watching a child comment (/reply) - show toast badge on file load - display own profile banner (for now only own profile, next update - all users) - added community icon to own comments/posts and replies - added prompt window for adding a link to post as usual, live on obtainium and will be there in google play soon

When I want to link something I could mark my text and tap the link button. Then a small screen showed up with the marked text and another field to put the link.
Good point, I added it in latest commit so it will be in a new version (3-4 days from today I guess, depending on when I'll have time to put more things)
Do you have GitHub Sponsors or something were I can donate a few euros to show some support? I like to help but I can not do programming 😁
Honestly, I just don't want to deal with taxes 😅
After all, its just a hobby project and I'm glad that its useful for other people as well, not just me :) if you like what I do, just keep sharing your experience and ideas, spread the word about app and have a great time

As an accessibility thing it might be worth including some options but for now
I think all text elements support system native text scaling so if someone is using bigger text system-wide, it will be bigger in the app as well :) but yeah I plan to add more customization for app's UI.
I would also like to have some sort of Lists or Categories function where we could have additional feeds with specific communities in them, like having multiple sets of subscribed communities.
Something like multireddits? This is, of course, possible via in-app state/network, but I'm afraid that it will DDoS servers simply because its not supported by lemmy itself (yet). I miss this feature as well and will add it as soon as it will be ready in the API.
The sorting and view options being in the FAB are not intuitive. I feel like the “Local | New” text at the top should be menus to switch sort/view options.
My intentions were to make the app easier to use with one hand without trying to reach to the top of the screen, but yes, its a good idea to provide more user-friendly experience

I think that asking to be paid for your work is totally fine (albeit I myself made my lemmy app completely free and opensource, simply because its just my hobby project), but its a rather different story when you provide app for open source, nonprofit venture-free platform and start to inject ads and trackers into it. Its goes against the entire idea of free decentralised platform and makes it closer to profit-focused app like reddit/threads/etc imo

Nothing against sync, but this is not what I'd expect from lemmy app tbh. There's a lot of free open source options that don't sell your data.
Asking to be paid for your job is OK, but injecting ads in ad-free opensource service, selling user data? This is just reddit-app-moment in my opinion

**0.1.4 was skipped because it mainly contained fixes for google play store** - fixed post reporting - now you can block community from feed - fixed "load X more" button for comments (it used to output duplicates) - fixed app permissions, removed few that we dont use internal stuff: - fixed crashlooping during build process - updated eos version - updated peer deps Reminder about feedback post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2590198 This update will be in google play store today.
- What features do you think this app is still missing? - What could be improved? - Anything that just upsets you or makes your life garder than it should be? I hate when things like this pop-up inside apps or websites, so I decided to simply make a post, even knowing it will reach smaller audience. :) so far: - Double tap on feed button should go to back to top - Replies marked as “read” are still shown in unread replies - A click on the own profil picture should show it in a bigger version - ~~comments flashing on touch in posts~~ - tap on top to change sorting - more customization - multilemmy (waiting for api on this one, dont want to ddos servers) - ~~Banner is not visible~~ - ~~Community icons are missing on proifl page in “comments” and “posts”~~ - ~~url prompt in md text~~ - ~~posts flashing on touch in feed~~
play.google.com
Finally sorted everything related to google's review, privacy policy etc etc and now the app is available to download in Google Play store. Its a bit behind in terms of version, but it will catch up fairly soon I hope. Note that its in open testing right now and might not be available from search.

Taking it slower for couple of days because I'm busy with work... Anyways: - More sorting options for feed - New "Blocks" screen (from profile) to show blocked communities and people - Block/unblock user button - Some fixes for login page - Fixes for scroll to next comment button behavior - Updated most of the dependencies and lemmy api
Make sure to subscribe to our new home -> !arctius@lemmy.world Link and full changelog will be here. Next (0.1.3) version announcement will be the last one in this community! New thins in this release: new comment navigation, bigger touchable zones, instance ignoring and design fixes. [Link to post in the new community](https://lemmy.world/post/2192850)

- Ability to jump to next parent commend - New action to comment a post - Shorten large number of comments, votes i.e "1567" -> "1.5K" - Ability to ignore instance or keyword in post source - Action icons in posts and comments are slightly larger (additional 3 px radius around them) to make them easier to tap Decided that I have enough fun things to bump a version number and release it, especially because I myself got tired of putting new nsfw communities to block from my "all" feed :)

Thats gonna be first release under the new name. I've decided to pick this semi-rubblish name because it's fairly unique and reminds of arctic foxes, which fits the app's icon. **Whats new?** - Ability to attach images to posts - Fixes for posting in mod-only communities - Fixes for spelling in few prompts - Fix for commenting on posts that only include embeds (without text) - Fix for embed rendering - Small things causing crashes
lemmy.world
Today, with the release of 0.1.1 I decided to rename this app to Arctius, to stop the confusion with OS Firefox fork called Fennec. New home for the app's updates: !arctius@lemmy.world New things in the 0.1.1 include fixes for posting in mod-only communities, some typo fixes, new tab in settings to edit profile (display name, bio, email - for now that's all) and image uploading for posts. Post with link to new release, and all new posts will be created in new community. Cheers.
github.com
As I'm getting tired of linking same post over and over about app's name and since it seems as a major concern for some people, I've decided to hold a vote for future name of this app. Have variants, think that current or my proposed name is fine, or anything else -> comment here. Let your voice be heard. Current variant I'm thinking about: 1. **Silverfox** - no similar names on froid, some similar names on play store, that are not really popular anyways. Don't forget to use Obtanium to get latest releases automatically. :)
While we're not on the google play store, you can use Obtanium. Short tutorial: - download [Obtanium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases) - go to "Add App" - type in "https://github.com/nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec/" to the first field and add the app. Voila! Now you will get all new releases automatically or notified about it if you will chose "track only" mode.

I've been a bit slower lately due to taking a vacation, but I'm still making changes, new features and improving stuff that's here already :) This updates brings comment/post editing, saved posts feed (inside "star" tab, neighbours with followed communities list) and some more smaller improvements **Small update:** going to make a hotfix since post editing actually spawns a new post for some reason haha ## Bigger update: 0.0.9 hotfix is out, download it instead: https://github.com/nick-delirium/lemmy-fennec/releases/tag/0.0.9
Hello! I've recently verified my account as a developer and created an internal testing release of a 0.0.5 version (the same one on the github releases). If you're interested in using Google Play signed version, please send me your email in messages. Thank you.

I think, at this point, app is pretty stable and useable, I'm even planning to submit it to Google Play Store for private testing (mostly for the convenience of updating the app). If you tried this or previous versions, hows your experience was so far? Don't be afraid to share your opinions, requests and spotted issues. My phone is pretty large and its the only way I test my own app, so maybe I'm missing something design wise? Are the lists (comments, posts) working fine and fast? And, as usual, I'll be glad to have some contributions.

And I'm actually writing it from the app itself. Never thought I'd come this far :)
If you're reading this, you're one of the very first people who stumbled upon my app. I figured that it will be easier to talk about lemmy inside lemmy, not just github, where not everyone has an account.
