Hello everyone!

I've finally released Eternity on the google play store. Note that this is not compatible with the existing releases as this build has a different signature.

Thanks for your support and looking forward to your feedback!

Nice work. I'm using obtanium, which I prefer, but that will give it some exposure.

[-] Spezt@lemmy.zeggit.site 12 points 1 year ago

For the one person downvoted. Obtanium is not a Lemmy app, but an updater app. With obtanium you can auto update Eternity :-)

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Haha. Two downvotes. Looks like reddit users really are here 😀

[-] a1_15@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

ayo, lemmy going mainstream?? nooooo

[-] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I can't get Obtainium to download it. What URL do I need to put in Add App?

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Try this

https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

And there's an option for allowing beta or similar? Make sure that is checked.

Can't wait for the F-Droid release!

[-] dubbel@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just in case you or another reader isn't aware: Eternity is available in an alternative app repository that can be added to F-Droid in the settings.

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=3bf0d6abfeae2f401707b6d966be743bf0eee49c2561b9ba39073711f628937a

This repo, as stated in the description, takes released built by the developers instead of building them directly.

Still looking forward to the official F-Droid release of course :)

[-] gamey@feddit.rocks 12 points 1 year ago

Pro tip, Izzy has a faster update cycle than the official repo so it's a great option for WIP apps even if they are available on both! ;)

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago

Note that this is not compatible with the existing releases as this build has a different signature.

Back up your settings before uninstalling your old version, then you should be able to import it to the Play Store version!

Thanks!

I used Liftoff but I missed Infinity since I moved to Lemmy, didn't want to use IzzyOnDroid.

Any plan on a build in the official F-Droid repo?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 17 points 1 year ago

I'm waiting for a review there as well.

[-] gamey@feddit.rocks 2 points 1 year ago

I would highly suggest Izzys repo for WIP apps, that has a faster release cycle!

[-] sederx@programming.dev 18 points 1 year ago

best client around hands down

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Infinity was my favourite Reddit App, so seeing it ported over to the Fediverse is great!

Apologies if this has already been asked, but do you have any intention of making it compatible with Kbin?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 31 points 1 year ago

Yes. When the "Lemmy part" is more or less completed, I'm planning on adding Kbin and possibly other fediverse services if I have the time.

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Great to hear!

Fair enough, makes sense with Lemmy being the most active in this part of the Fediverse

[-] Olympus@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Last I heard Kbin doesn't have an API in place for any apps to use at the moment (Not something I keep an eye on personally, just parroting what I've seen commented previously)

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, it does have one, though it is in beta (last I heard). If I'm remember correctly, there is an app called Artemis using it already

I believe the Artemis instance is the only one with the beta API enabled.

[-] regalia@literature.cafe 13 points 1 year ago

I can't stop noticing that it looks like a black pig with big orange eyes lol

[-] 7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In fact, I have never even considered that it is NOT something pig-like with orange eyes. Only this here comment made me see the mouse...

[-] raptir@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

I think I only saw it "right" because of the Infinity for Reddit logo.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, now I see it too.

I'm using it right now with the biggest smile on my face. I didn't know this project existed, and Infinity was my favorite Reddit client.

I can't wait to be active on Lemmy because of this app, thank you!

[-] kosmoz@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Right? Feels like coming home ☺️

[-] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm using Lemmy only because you made this app. I hated the desktop interface and all others apps. This is the best without any doubt. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Ps: why is not everyone in lemmy talking and recommending this app???

[-] Fissionami@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

why is not everyone in lemmy talking and recommending this app???

Same question ❓

Nice to hear about more great apps for Lemmy! I've become pretty entrenched in Connect with block lists, community specific settings etc. It would be a bit of a task to switch. For those familiar with both, I'm curious if anyone could share pros cons from experience?

[-] 1bluepixel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Wonderful news. Thanks for your hard work!

[-] ollie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

eternity is the goat

[-] user@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

congrats dev/s 👏 well done. using it now.

[-] alex@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago

aw yay, congrats!

[-] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Going to try it out because sync keeps crashing on me.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Hey, I'm not seeing these crashes come through. Any way to reproduce them? Cheers

[-] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

4x - tap a link to comment, instantly taken to home screen, no error capture/report.

3x - scrolling down, instant crash to home screen, no error catch/report.

These have happened over the span of 4 hours of use over 3 days. Seems to have started since latest update.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago
[-] neurosnail@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Really pleased to see this :)

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Great news!

[-] Xandar437@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you, loving it so far.

[-] HovringSquidworld97A@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

This is great to see! Definitely makes things easier for ChromeOS installs. Do you plan on periodically merging in changes from Infinity if they're worthwhile? Or upstreaming any of your changes?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 1 year ago

Yes! I think there are some features/fixes that could be beneficial for the upstream project as well.

[-] psychic717@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Still can't find it on Play Store on my side, maybe it takes a few hours.

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It should show up if you search for 'Eternity for Lemmy.' Actually, it's been out for a couple of days now. I just wanted to wait until it could be easily found through a search. Yesterday, I was only able to see it using the link. However, it may need some time to show up for everyone.
