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
Why is every UI app defaulting to lemm.ee? Is it the new default? Used to be lemmy.world
For me its 50% because it seems the accept new users the fastest (from my very unscientific test) and 50% because Voyager does it so it must be the right way lol. Initially I had it randomizing between the most popular instaces, but I decided to simplify it and have it default to lemm.ee. I don’t feel that strongly. If someone presented a good argument for why I should change it, I would consider it.
