Decided I'm going to go ahead with my Kbin mobile app.

Yeah I know i have a lot on the go, but I use Apollo daily, and want a solid Apollo like experience for Kbin.

I'm willing to hand over the project to Kbin if they want, and would love to work closely with the developer on this if possible.

Will be starting this next week, after my camping trip! It will be open source from the start, and contributors will be gladly welcomed! #kbin

Know what I find annoying about life? The fact that I have to work to feed myself and can’t devote all my time to contributing to open-source projects … like #kbin and #pixelfed and my own libraries and so much more. There’s so much I want to do, so little time.

I've seen quite a few people on Reddit saying this key thing, which is preventing them leaving:

“I'm interested in all these different things: motorbikes; Nicki Minaj; embroidery; vegan food. Reddit has all those communities in one place with one login. I don't want to have to go to a bunch of different websites to follow my interests”

It is absolutely crucial that we explain to those people that the Fediverse SOLVES THAT PROBLEM.

#Pixelfed is a #PHP application, and @dansup says it would be nice to have more maintainers on board.
