πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» Dylan Taylor Wow this site renders _so beautifully_ on mobile
πŸ’ Lucian Marin You can use it as an app if you add it to home screen from Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android.
❄️ Tobias Did the app get pulled from the Google store?
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Temporary, but the new version at play.google.com/st... improves native light and dark theme support on Android.

🌜 Milkman Riot Yeah it's hard to justify the cost of teams with experience in all platforms, not to mention the cost of code ownership itself. I do like coding in Swift anf Kotlin, though!
🐸 Simon Never tried Kotlin but it looks like such an improvement from regular Java! Java makes for a great language to learn early on, its verbosity is very pedagogical, but man is it exhausting on the long run. Still kind of hate the fact that Android apps need a full blown JVM, you shouldn't need 12 GB of RAM in a phone to keep several apps alive when multitasking...
πŸ˜€ Tom holy f... I had over 4,100 tabs open in Firefox for Android. I had to copy them out in groups of 100 so I didn't crash the app.
Nick Silvestri I never understand people who can browse like that! I never have more than 20 tabs open at a time on desktop, and 10 on mobile. I recently got the Tree Tab extension thinking it would help me in those moments when I have quite a few tabs, but I've gotten good enough at managing my tab volume that it doesn't even give me much value.
β˜• David Antoine 4100 tabs opened !? Are you OK Tom ? 😜
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Why I changed the sidebar design? To improve one hand usage on mobile devices, especially on the Android app (play.google.com/st...), to reduce the gray color in design and to make sure content stands out and doesn't depend on sidebar layout.
πŸ“ Mega I kind-of miss the gray but do what you think is best.

πŸ˜€ Tom I think it's finally time for me to make a smartphone app.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin I want to build a background restriction manager for Android. I found how to do it, but procrastination is really strong with this one.

πŸ’ Lucian Marin I changed the way unfeeder.com fetches articles. It's faster, new articles every couples of minutes. It doesn't depend on the Facebook API any longer. I can provide a JSON API for iOS and Android developers.

πŸ˜€ Tom No one makes anything user-friendly anymore. Not iOS, not Android, not even cars or microwaves. WTF is going on?

πŸ’ Lucian Marin I'm still on Android 9. I need to buy a new phone to update the OS.

πŸ’ Lucian Marin I want a launcher for Android that has the app drawer as home screen and lets me hide certain apps.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Matthieu V. maybe you could have a look to KISS Launcher on F-Droid f-droid.org/packag...
🧐 Nrmn There's a tool called FASTER which is exactly that. It can be used as homescreen, you can hide and pin apps. And it's very fast.
🍍 Adam Blažek I also recommend KISS Launcher.

πŸ’ Lucian Marin The upcoming Sony Xperia Compact (140x68.9x8.9mm) seems big to me. Maybe iPhone 13 mini (131.5x64.2x7.4mm) would come with USB-C charging. I really enjoy the size of my XZ1 Compact (129x65x9.3mm).
πŸ€ Pr I had to switch to the new iphone mini just because it was the only updated small phone out there. I loved my xperia compact (had the z5c, and the x compact), but they were getting old. finally i switched to the iphone SE 1st gen for a year or so and now i'm on the mini. I hope the mini will start a new trend of small android devices again
Rsm Somebody told me to do APK for Mac but I'm a lowly user, no idea what that's about. For Mac Telegram is only available through Google Play.
β˜• David Antoine I don't know, I don't think there is clean way to convert an APK to an IPA for iOS. The OS are completely different. And I don't know of any virtualization tool you can install on iOS to run APKs if you need to. I know about Project Sandcastle to install Android on an iPhone but it's limited to old models, needs jailbreak and comes w/ a lot of limitations. Not worth the hassle.

β˜• David Antoine Hum I think the 13 is going to be the last one with a lighting port. Then the 14 will be portless. Or lightning for the 13 / 14 and portless for the 13 Pro / 14 Pro... Either way they are probably not using USB-C on iPhones, they still want to milk the lightning port licensing revenue as long as possible IMHO... And I'm using Telegram, if they decide to ban it using the hate speach excuse, I prefer sticking w/ Android now, where I can sideload the APK...

πŸ—¨οΈ Keb What is your RSS Reader of choice? Currently using Inoreader, but wondering about alternatives.
James Kirk I use Feeder on Android. Basic, but it does the job. I have used Inoreader in the past and liked its UI however the free version has ads, right? Also used Feedly before which was okayish.
