Google requires a dozen or so beta testers before you are allowed to launch an app on the Play store publicly. Given that this community lives on Lemmy, and it’s full of Android users, I was hoping I could recruit a few people.

My app, “Blorp”, is already listed on the official Lemmy website for iOS, but Android has been delayed due to this requirement.

Would greatly appreciate your help, and if it turns out you like my app, I’m happy to make changes based on your feedback.

For closed testing, Google requires you join a linked Google Group before downing the app.

Step 1: Join the testing group

🔗 https://groups.google.com/g/blorp-android-app-testers

Step 2: Download the app

📱 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.blorpblorp.app

Thanks in advance!

Edit: there’s also a Lemmy community if you want to stay up to date or ask questions !blorp@lemmy.ml

Done! I like the look of it, the black is great for oled. I'm pretty committed to boost, but I'll give blorp a good try, and it is already making me resent the charcoal theming in boost...

Update: Is there a way to include the community and post title when I see my posts and comments in my Profile? When I go to Inbox I see all the replies to my stuff, and the context. But when I look at my profile it's just a wall of text seperate with some lines, no indication of community, upvotes, whether it's a post or a comment. If I use the filter tap for Posts, it's much like what I'd expect with communities and votes, but the Comments tab is also a wall of text with no details.

For me, that's a big downside as I often go back to old threads I've contributed to because I want to see if there's been other replies or to find a interesting point someone made.

Yeah I gotta fix that. I’ll probably look at the layout voyager uses for inspiration, but feel free to attach screenshots of other apps if there are any designs you like specifically.

I also want to improve the saved page. Saved should be searchable imo.
