Building a fun SNS client app called #DhaagaApp.
It works with Mastodon, Misskey and Bluesky (soon).

I skipped the v0.18.0 changes because I was too busy building the next version. Here is a catch-up:
- "Zen Exploration" module is a unique take on the search feature
- ^ anti-recommendation by design 😎
- Enhanced user onboarding and styling consistecy across the board
- Graceful error handling (less silent failures and crashes)
- 20+ performance tweaks
#DhaagaUpdates v0.19.0 will be out tonight 🎉
✨ We can use #bluesky without any major hiccups
✨ Most features have been updated for #atproto compatibility
✨ We can now preview likedBy/sharedBy from the timeline itself
✨ In previous versions, this used to popup a sorry message
Here is a showcase of those features, as well as how to activate the #christmas themes 🎄
Do keep in mind that due to licensing issues, the lite edition will lack the wallpapers.
So, use obtainium or the play store.

Hey gang,
Long time no see!
I was not able to work a lot on #DhaagaApp this year.
But, I have been doing a lot of catching up this entire month.
I am slowing down on the experimentation phase and focusing on ironing out the existing modules and features.
The app will also receive official #bluesky support before this #christmas !
Also, check out these cool app skins, which will also be included:
I have been building a universal fedi client called #DhaagaApp
It supports all 3 biggest decentralized protocols (#mastoapi, #bluesky and #misskey)
It has pretty timelines, unique client-side features and a modern, aesthetic design.
It's available on Play Store and #IzzyonDroid
Do have a look, and share with your friends if you like it. ^^
I also post frequent devlogs and am always excited to receive feedback.
@liaizon Yep!
#DhaagaApp is very a unique fedi client, in that, it focused on building on top of protocols, rather than just implementing a front-end for them.
Some of these:
- bookmark collections
- better feed/pin management
- saving posts offline
- multi-protocol support
- Organizing notification by tabs
Are UX issues raised by the community over the years.
While certain #mastodon/#misskey forks do solve these server-side, the Dhaaga project is going with an alternative approach.
@freeplay It is fully local.
But it is an sqlite database, so import/export options will be implemented in the future.
Also, in certain cases, you want those activities to be stored purely on device for privacy (e.g. - private follows, private bookmark folders and private blocks)
^ Some of these are known pain points of #atproto users, where all data is public for everyone.
On #mastodon side also, instances shut down all the time. So, why not fully own your data? 😉
@TotalSonic The application code has been designed from the ground up to easily support as many protocols and platforms as needed.
But, as you mentioned in your intitial impressions, there is still a lot of polish needed across the app.
So, I am currently focusing on supporting the three biggest protocols and 7 associated platforms.
In the long term, native (not merely MastoAPI) compability for Friendica won't be an issue.
