Why not contribute to Mbin & PieFed ?

And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.

The comments:

person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”

Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”

Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)

Hey man build whatever you want, so what's it called ?

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Blorp lol. Don’t ask about the name. Very much a work in progress, but I’m aiming for a public beta in 2ish months. Though I know it’s very likely I’ll be the only one that uses it.

As an Android/iOS app, Blorp will cache the data (and optionally images) offline. So any feeds/posts that are already loaded you will be able to read offline.

Right now that’s the biggest feature setting me apart from Voyager, but I want to keep iterating and improving.

This is the website version, which admittedly is a bit more clunky than the iOS/Android app. https://blorpblorp.xyz/
