Hey, thanks for linking that. I actually made that from scratch within the past month. It has dedicated Servers, Apps, and Releases pages, and also a home screen for info about Mbin. The home page needs a lot of work though, so if anyone here is good at UI design and would like to help, feel free to comment.

I don't think there is a way to donate (monetarily) directly to Mbin, at least not at the moment.

The second best thing might would be to donate to server admins, which a lot of them actually are Mbin developers anyway.

That's correct. When we know of more apps, they'll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.

What kind of hits? I haven't heard anything.

In fact, they just released a video a month ago detailing some of the areas they're working on, including dart macros, their new impeller engine, performance updates for the web platform, and more.

I think Flutter (made by Google) is pretty awesome.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out.

It's a link to an article I found interesting. It basically details why we're still using 64-bit CPUs, just as you mentioned.

Same with kbin.earth. Unfortunately, one problem with the fediverse is that everything (users, magazines, posts, comments, etc.) is tied to the instance's domain, so it can't really be changed at all.

Thanks for the interest. So far, I've only had one (or maybe two) other person(s) ask about iOS support, so I haven't really looked much into it so far.

I could set up a donation page (like GitHub sponsors), but my guess is that it would receive nowhere near the amount of an Apple Developer account ($100 a year).

I also don't have an iPhone or Mac. I should be able to get around the Mac by using a VM (I've done it before), but it is a pain.

How do you update without any downtime? Is it because you have multiple servers running?
