Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!
Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.
That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.
I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.
Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.
Other platforms coming soon:
- iOS
- Android
- Linux
- Windows
It’s probably not super difficult. It’s mainly that cutting new releases for too many platforms might be tedious. But as I settle on a stable release that meets most people’s needs, I’ll be more interested in pushing to more platforms.
That being said, I’m mainly looking for high quality beta testers atm. If you were really enthusiastic about this over other Lemmy apps, that would make me more likely to look into Flatpak soon.
But if it’s more like “its interesting but not for me,” then I’ll likely wait
