I am enjoying the web app, using Brave for mobile and SN works well, it requires that the user has the know how to install SN as an app with Brave, but a native mobile app could add value. For instance, embedding TOR into the app, making the transactions and interaction more private and secure An onion address for SN would be a nice add too...

I’m a fan of the PWA. Gives me a pretty good, mostly native feeling experience, and it’s one code base.

With what mobile browser,? I am using Brave and it is quite good for it, haven't tried a Firefox base one yet.
@k00b mentioned a FOSS non official one: https://github.com/felipebueno/stacker_news/releases I install it, but can't make heads of tails of it, once installed (two different mobiles) it won't show in the app drawer...

Hey @rod
My bad. I forgot to release the new version with some bug fixes. I'll do this soon and let you know when it's available

Hey, @rod!
But no dice, it won't show in the app drawer
I'll fix this today!

Thanks!

Hi, @rod! I published a new release on Github (and soon on Google Play) with the fix for the invisible app problem.
reply
YES!!!
Thanks Felipe, works!
Hey Felipe, the app rocks, love it!
Question
How can I log in with my profile?
The majority would have used their NOSTR keys with nos2x Others would have used their LN wallet Others email etc
IMO, the safe bet is to start with NOSTR to sign in, what are your thought?
I just published a new version on Github. Can you try it on your devices, please?
reply
Safari on iOS. Sorry, can’t speak to any experience on android.

The question isn't whether it'd be good or bad. It's obviously good.
The question is whether it's worth us slowing down on adding features to provide mobile apps (to gamble on whether they'll be allowed in app stores).
There's also an unofficial app by @felipe: #210971

Thanks for creating this app for the community!
Quick question,
I installed the app, it won't show in the drawer app... so weird, tried two different mobiles, same thing... Am I missing something? (both mobiles in Android 13

Hi @rod
Thanks for trying it out. The current version on Google Play is broken. I already fixed the issue but I haven't had the time to test and publish a new version.
I've been quite busy this past month so there was no time and energy for side projects. I'll try to get back working on the app ASAP

Tried the 1.2.3, no dice, it won't show in the drawer. Using Obtainium, getting the release directly from github.
Thanks for replying Felipe, much appreciated!
reply
Hey, I just realized I didn't publish the fixed version on GitHub Releases as well.
I'll do this tomorrow morning

I take back the comment of the onion address, we have one, great!, SN rocks!
reply
An app will give a lot of visibility to SN, I doubt it could be approved due to the lightning payments (Look what happened to Damus - NoZap for posts AND YesZap for profiles 🤷)
Maybe just disable the zapPost for the mobile Apps? or find the way to prove that zapping the post is actually zapping the profile. Not sure how it will be possible to go around this absurdity.
Anyway, it could be an interesting project to challenge current media industry and join Damus on the fight
reply
If you're using brave, it should let you know (we set the header for it).
Logins aren't supported at the onion address yet though.
reply
Yep, noticed just after I posted the poll, you guys rock!, awesome, with nostr you can log in in TOR Browser BTW, nos2x works
reply
It doesn't redirect you to stacker.news after login anymore? It used to.
reply
no, works fine
reply
Cool! It must've been unintentionally fixed
reply
I have to say, it gave me an error, nos2x popped twice, which was odd, but it worked. I just logged out and in, the first time failed, didn't go back to stacker.news, it just failed the log in, the second time worked.... odd, I guess still needs work...
reply
It looks like it does still redirect back to stacker.news. Anyway, something to fix.
reply
not in TOR browser to me, but there is an issue for sure... thanks!
I'm using the SN mobile app right now. PWA is fine.

I'm also using Brave browser on Android, do you see an animation lightning when zapping? I can see it using Chrome, but not in Brave. Not sure why.
reply
I'm fairly sure I remember I used to but I don't seem to now. Also using SN via Brave.

Mobile app these days its not a Yes/No, it's a must!
