I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open

    @MyNameIsIgglePiggle I might actually try making a Lemmy client myself. It could help me learn Android development better than whatever my uni is doing.

      If you ever decide to do that, sign me up for some dev time. I currently mainly work with Qt and C++, but want to learn eg. flutter. Know Rust, Go and Java and a few frameworks around there. Frontend I did some angular and react in the past. For now I’d be able to invest something like 10 hrs per week.

        Sure thing! Although, I won’t start working on it anytime soon. I’m too busy with irl stuff as well as my other ambitious project (I should probably advertise it more but I want to have it in a more usable state before I do that).

        I’ll most likely build the app with Kotlin since that’s the only way I know to make Android apps (afaict Rust isn’t really an option for Android anyway).

          Oh flutter is with dart, not Rust. I was just giving a bit of my profile to talk a bit about my interests / background.

          Kotlin is cool, but let me know if you change your mind about flutter. Though it is backed by Google, it does seem like it is gaining some momentum also among the FOSS communities, and it has the added bonus that the app can then be deployed on Android and iOS (or even desktop / web).

            Hmm. I might consider flutter then, since the only reason I picked kotlin is because I’m learning it in uni and i cant use rust to make android apps. Well, I’ll think about it whenever I actually decide to start. If rust were an option to make native android apps I would have picked it immediately 😄
