Indie Hackers is full of those stories :)
Will do my best to converge towards that goal of yours! ❤️ Thanks a lot for these lovely words.
That pleases me even more :) I hope the black icon does not stand up too much compared to the other apps on your home screen though! The other day someone kindly requested me if I could provide alternate colors via a 99c in-app purchase :)
Great idea Cody. Will do! Thanks~
Thank you Daniel! Can you please point me to your homepage?
Thanks Peter! Damn, I'd love that too...
I made a basic prototype with a stretched UI on my iPad, and not only it looks like shit, the current button and menu placement is barely usable on a tablet, and the edge-swipe left gesture conflicts with the slide over gesture of iOS. Also, no cross device sync implemented at the moment... So, lots of work ahead, but this is high on my priority list! Stay tuned.
First, thanks a ton Florian for writing all these nice words and advises!
I'm having so internal struggles on what kind of limitations to set, whether they should be opt-in, default, or mandatory. Getting that kind of user feedback is helping me so much.
I like the hard limit too. Eventually I'd like to set some maximum reading time budget. Eg. you set your queue can not excess 5 hours of cumulative reading time, or another number based on how long you're using the app every week. Then the user would need some kind of new screen to review every page of the queue (with a screenshot preview and some basic metadata?), and choose which ones to remove to regain some budget back to add new articles.
Browser extensions are next on my list, even though this is going to take me quite some time.
Always happy to hear feature requests, given how biased I am myself :)
I'll shout you an email, but visually it looks exactly the same, except that it shows a static web page of mine with links to my bookmarks. And from there I can also open Google to look up a specific site. Very rough around the edges at the moment.
I still recall my friends thinking I had dementia as I was telling them I was working on "a browser with no tabs," and recommending me to start as a reading app first and build up from there. I'm not too sure yet how to design and market it as a mobile browser replacement.
