Feedback and criticism is welcome and encouraged!

This is a small jetpack compose app that I'm currently making for android devices to browse... federated link agregators (Lemmy, kbin etc.).

I promise I'm not just bandwagon-ing. However, I thought that the current situation could make for a good excuse to learn android development/mobile design (something I've never actually done before).

Some notes:

  • This application will be open source. I think it's just a bit too early to share it right now. [^1]
  • Some icons are placeholders, e.g. "upvote" and "downvote" are upload and download at the minute.
  • Some of the padding and card-style is inconsistent in the mockups I've shared here.
  • There are quite a few "language-choice" issues. Most notably the vague term "Mods" on the profile page (this refers to the communities the profile moderates). I plan to adjust this through development (and as the mainstream fediverse establishes itself).
  • I'm doing this for selfish reasons like "fun" and "education", so there aren't any guarantees for a fully working... anything...
    • If I was to do this for altruistic reasons, I'd contribute to Jerboa which seems to be undergoing a lot of development from what I can tell on GitHub,

[^1]: If you're on the tildeverse, I've already open-sourced it to tildegit. I'm also tracking my progress over there: https://tildegit.org/delph.seiji/lemulink.

My first question was if it will be FOSS, that's really great, thanks.

If possible, it would be great to have an option to add custom instances.

Plus, the option to 'force' it to add the instance; even it the app thinks it's not a valid instance.

On Jeroba and Lemmur, you can add only some of the instances (the app probably checks a list). Both of them don't let you to add some of the new instances.

Thanks in advance for your work man. I'll be happy to help with testing, if you want.
