I tried Jerboa briefly and couldn’t get it to work well for me. Then I visited kbin on my phone’s browser and was prompted to install the kbin app!? I haven’t seen any references to it, but it’s exactly what I wanted…? Has anybody else tried it?

    It’s better than nothing, but it’s missing quite a bit. I’m actually finding it to be quite janky.

    Things like every time I go back from reading a thread or something, all the filters get reset. Opening a link to a post is inconsistent, and won’t always scroll to the exact post. Tapping on a title doesn’t always open the thread, I have to tap 3 times to open a link, no notifications etc etc.

    To be clear, I’m not complaining. Kbin is still quite early in it’s life and until recently was only being built by one person. This is all to be expected, and I’m sure it’ll get smoothed out in time.

    Buuuuuuuuut a nice smooth native app experience would be lovely, ngl

      Sometimes the ‘tap three times’ is just that it’s busy generating the next page for you. It ‘heard’ the first tap. Can use that time to scroll a bit further until it’s ready and the page changes.
