I’ve heard of some corporate environments using different tools because of some weird use case, but honestly I think it doesn’t justify, if you’re taking it seriously you should be using git.

Just another quick update, I got the domain beyond.onl and I’m planning to run a small Lemmy instance there. I probably won’t be allowing account creations but I will be creating some official communities for Beyond announcements there.

The idea is to have a community where you can follow for new post updates about Beyond and comment, suggest features and improvements etc.

I will probably host it somewhere like Azure, I am not sure, as I have no idea of the costs associated with it, so I will be taking it very slowly and see how that will turn out. Maybe at some point I will open it up for new users too, let’s see :)

Another update, with basic post and comments view ready, we should be soon approaching an alpha release date so you all can have a look by yourselves :)

Me too I think at least I am commenting more often.

Go into the water, live there, die there.

Took Dethklok too literally I guess?

That’s the whole problem with any social app right. Would be so happy to ditch Whatsapp for better alternatives but what’s the point if no one I know is there.

Glad you guys are here though :p

Quick update today I worked on the sidebar, I’ve hidden the items buttons that still don’t do anything, added some icons, created a nice card for the logged in account. The only thing I am still not happy with is the contrast of the account name vs the background image, so I will look into something to fix that soon.

I am still not sure where to post this those kind of updates, maybe a community is not such a bad idea but I cannot create communities on beehaw, maybe I will create one on another instance and mod it from this account. In any case, I will post that info here too.

Thank you all for your suggestions, as some have suggested above, I think I will probably go with Beyond, as Buzz Lightyear says, “To Infinity and Beyond!”, seems like a good way to honor Infinity but also look at the future beyond.

It’s probably gonna be Beyond :)

That’s honestly a good point but:

• Infinity is written in Java code specifically targeted to Android only, I am targeting both iOS and Android with the same code using React Native (maybe even web in the future but it’s a little more complicated due to CORS);
• I have worked with React for at least the past 4 years, so using React Native now for me feels like almost no learning curve at all, while if I’d be given a Java-based Android codebase now, I’d probably need to spend the first week figuring out the basics :)

Thanks!

Thank you but not just yet :)

React Native. The screenshot you see is from it running on WSA from Windows 11, it feels much better than the emulator from the Android SDK.

Honestly I loved the card view because of the gallery, put focus on the post image.

Having that said, card won’t be the only layout available but it is the first I am working on.

I m glad you mentioned it! after I posted this on Tuesday night, I came up with the same idea! To Infinity, and Beyond!

thank you :)

Thank you all for all your comments and suggestions. I’ll go through them and try to answer as much as I can, I am generally quite busy on Tuesdays so I’ll probably be able to do it later at night today. In any case I am happy with the amount of support!

Feel free to suggest names here :)

hello and welcome :)

You’ve got a point. I was bothered with no downvotes until your post and it’s true, we are free to actually have open conversations here instead of be received with being downvoted. Cool!
