ernestThank you for the work you've put in, guys. Life can really knock you off your feet sometimes, and I'm pretty sure Harriette has a good reason to be offline now. II really hope everything works out for her and one day she'll be able to come back.
As for myself, at the beginning of the year, I plan to dust off the drawer and return to my mobile client that I started some time ago, and develop it in my free time. If someone likes /kbin feeling, I'm pretty sure they'll also enjoy this app ;)
FaceDeerThanks. In the meantime I've been getting by with the mobile website well enough. I've actually become used to not having notifications any more, perhaps it's better not being immediately informed in the middle of my day that I need to drop everything to go argue with people on the Internet. :)
MisterMooThanks Ernest, please do get that app going if you can! :)
I was using Kbin on Artemis without any login, and was pretty much fine to just lurk, but having no app at all is a real bummer. I’ll check out Lunar in the meantime but I’m itching to contribute more to Kbin as a logged in user.
brotkelWill the API be opened on Kbin.social prior to the release of your mobile app, so that other app developers also have a chance to try it out before there's an "official" solution? I feel strongly that having a single developer in control of the only client is going to end up with a lot of people waiting and possibly being disappointed again. Much better to let people experiment early and have several available options.
The API will be made publicly available in the coming days. Essentially, everything is ready except for one technical issue where I need Piotr's assistance, but he is currently quite busy. However, I'm trying to resolve it as quickly as I can.
minnieoooh this is exciting !
ADHDefyThis is a real bummer. It is a shame it was never open sourced. :(
I sincerely hope @hariette is doing okay! If she reads this, the community still appreciates you. <3
densityHope @hariette is doing OK and has support she needs. And will return when ready.
Lesson today is: Always FLOSS to avoid cavaties.
thanks for your dedication and effort to artemis and kbin, guys. you were and continue to be amazing.
i think during the reddit thing, everyone went in head strong and confident, pouring lots of time into this, including myself, you guys, hariette. we wanted it to succeed so bad. then it seems many got burnt out, or bored, and started to distance, including myself. i can understand why hariette may have effectively left. i mean, she started something huge that required lots of time, dedication, and management from herself and others she brought on board. maybe she didn't realize how much it might take, and when her passion began to falter, so did her will to manage all this and she just isolated from it, ive sadly done that before when i got overwhelmed and burnt out. or maybe its something else entirely? who knows. but either way, there's still an obligation to communicate with the very people who were onboard beside you, to let them know how you're feeling and what might happen to the project, because you guys also dedicated your time to this, and your time matters too. no matter what happened, you were owed an explanation and open communication.
really sorry to hear this guys. you deserved better. thank you again for your effort and time.

Sometimes, that's the hardest part of coming back, believe me. But we still don't know exactly what happened, and I hope it will be clarified sooner or later, whether it's the definitive end or not. Life has taught me to be very patient, and if there's a chance, this time it will be my priority to help Hariette bring Artemis back to life, as it's truly a great app and a piece of a cool story ;)
I'm hoping that Hariette will respond to one of us soon and agree to open-sourcing the project. Thank you everyone in the Artemis community <3
djidane535Thank you for your work. I was really afraid this would happen when I heard the project was not open-source. The app was really great (especially for a single person in such a short time + no API at the time). It’s a bit annoying to use kbin without an app, but I believe we are not too far from a functional app since the API will be released soon 🤞.
No blame for Harriette of course, she has her reasons and owe nothing to us. Hope she is (or will be) fine.
