Oh boy, the bots have arrived

 

In case any of you are itching to know where I am with this, I'm still working on it; last few days I upgraded a few of the libraries to simplify the build process, and laid the groundwork for a modern app database so I can hook up the offline mode stuff, and some of the other pages more dependent on local data. I know its not very visible stuff though, so I've been holding off tagging a new version until I add at least one new feature. I could probably use some testing soon so likely I'll implement either posting, commenting, or the Go to Subreddit box for browsing to a specific community, unless there's something you want more?

 

Detail in the link. Crash reporting should make this a lot easier now though!

I recommend you use Obtainium to install this and other github-based projects, if you aren't already https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Also, I realise the apks are getting bigger, I'll fix that soon, there's libraries we don't need...

 

Just in time for the reddit apps to all die :) Notes are there, let me know how things go.

 

I have a version that can log in (optionally), show posts of all media types, view comments and if youve voted, and today i'm going to add the ability to vote. So far, you cannot post or comment, but those are my next priority. You also cannot currently use any mode except "comment pane" view type, but that would be my priority after

 

I heartily reccomend LiftOff, until I can get Slide into a useable state :)

They have sure as hell raised the bar for what classes as "useable", anyway

was a bit apprehensive about sharing it, its really hard to describe how much of a challenge this codebase is. I'm constantly juggling refactoring for maintainability against just "getting something that works", but if you're interested, there you go

The dev abandoned it cause the code is a bit of a nest, to say the least. Im trying to work on that, cause I really want slide to exist

 

(yes, i know there are a lot of things wrong with this screenshot)
