On the /all/new queue, yes. But not the /all/hot queue. We're going to add something to make it also apply to /all/new queue in the future

Wait a second, the end goal is that we can't see all subs when browsing /all/?

[–]magnora7 13 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Yes there are a few subs that are that way by their own choice. We're thinking about making an unfiltered_all someday, or something similar, that has absolutely everything, including subs filtered in this way. Every sub still comes up in the subs list and /all/new currently, just not /all/hot

Fair enough you know if there's a list of planned changes, like a roadmap or something for this place?

We have a prioritized to-do list that's about 70 items long, but it's private for now. The top things are an iOS app, some backend upgrades, and a crossposting system. We basically complete projects as we're able, but we're always looking for more coding help if you happen to know anyone.

I do a bit of backend admin on a few sites and can build you a browserbased wrapper for the site, but only on android lol

But for ios, why not a WebApp that runs on ios, android, windows, mac and linux? I love the ease of use to the point where instantly add PeppermintOS ICE SSB on every distro i install.

We tried that at first, building an app using xamarin for all platforms, but fell apart. However d3rr was able to port redreader successfully to saidit, which is an open source android reddit app.

We'd love to have a multi-platform app like that, but we're also not going to give up on our android app because it has over 5000 installs.

Here's the github for the android app: https://github.com/libertysoft3/RedReader

I'm open to any approach, as long as we end up with an iOS app!

xamarin is an app framework, isn't it? That's the opposite of a webapp, a few lines of code in the html to make chrome and firefox handle the page completely different.

It took me 30 minutes to create a dirty custom webapp for my home NextCloud, including reading up on how to do it. eh, ok maybe an hour.

hacking away at an android app, kotlin to swift? nah. But assuming the android app is mostly replacing reddit refs with saidits, would it be possible to use i.e. beam for ios?

Yes! Based on our research, Beam is our preferred iOS app to port. It's open-source. And like you say, it's basically replacing a bunch of 'reddit's with 'saidit's (not all of them though, most stayed 'reddit' in the API calls and stuff, which makes it even simpler). So beyond that it's really a matter of graphics and getting it on the app store so people can download it.

I think someone who knew exactly what they were doing could do it in a few hours. However neither d3rr nor myself have the apple dev environment required to develop it... that's one of the big hurdles too.

Anyway, I'd love to see Beam as our iOS app port. Do you have a apple computer and phone you can use to develop the iOS app?

lmfao get your setup done and i might send you my appletv 4k thats collecting dust because I dont have anothr apple device to get a dev account to jailbreak it ad thus its useless.

No, but honestly... Even if I did I'd be cautious to contribute that heavily at thisppoint. Imagine you're a new user, first post on FP is a shitshow and after exploring a bit I find out you're the admin (d3rr another I assume). I'd have to see some progress with user interaction or platform changes before I'll investe mre time than lurkin and commenting. With the 70 point roadmap being private, we'll have to go slow baby.

Why do you need to hide IP2 from the rest of your website? That sounds to me like you're giving them special treatment to operate outside of your community guidelines.

We chose to opt out of s/all out of respect for the rest of the site due to our activity.

Ah ok, that makes sense.
