Mobile support (iOS/Android)
First off this looks amazing and so much better than how every other rss reader displays. Unfortunately, I do most of my rss reading on mobile (inoreader). I saw in your website you're considering mobile support. Semi-ironically, I want a way to be notified if that ever happens. I couldn't find an rss feed feel the project, and listening to all Github activity would be very noisy.
So I'm opening a Github issue asking for Android support knowing that I'm asking you to do a heck of a lot of work for free. I know that if this happens it'll be a long way in the future. I'm hoping you'll leave this issue open until that day, should it come, so people can watch it.
Thank you, Daniel
Ok, great. I just successfully ported this to Electron last week and am almost done getting Firefox Sync working in that port. Once that is done, I will move on to mobile. (Using Cordova or something like that.)
This is very important to me as well. Thank you for stopping by to chill with us, Daniel.
Ok, I've done some preliminary design and am assembling a prototype in NativeScript. This isn't ultimately where I want to end up, but at least it will give us a chance to try it out and see how it feels.
Great! Please let me know when/how I can try and build your prototype.
If is in React or maybe even React Native I can help it out too 😄 keep up the good work. I'm using Inoreader too and this kinda suits me better
I just learned that Firefox for Android will support desktop extensions some time this year:
- Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release - Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog (2023-08-10)
- More WebExtensions! Coming to an Android near you soon – These Weeks in Firefox: Issue 147 - Firefox Nightly News (2023-10-19)
It would be awesome to see Fraidycat on Firefox for Android. :fox_face:
P.S. I've been using Fraidycat for years and it continues to be an amazing RSS reader.
