Hi everyone! Sorry, I forgot about last week’s “Ask me anything” session, so let’s use this post as usual: you reply with questions and I’ll answer them.
Moreover, I would like to give you some news about the project roadmap. I did not forgot to release a stable version, actually 1.13.3 is expected by the end of the year. In the meantime I’ve been focusing mostly on technical improvements, refactoring and code cleanup. For example I made dependency injection and gradle scripts much more maintainable, and I’ve been fixing a couple of issues that you reported.
Once I’m done with some more bugs (e.g. the ones concerning images) I’ll be releasing, so don’t worry. If some of you are willing to test the beta releases, you are more than welcome, thanks.
As always #livefasteattrash 🦝🦝🦝
This may have been asked and answered a bunch of times already, I don’t follow the project closely-
Is racoon for Lemmy associated with racoon for Friendica? I saw a comment that led me to belive they may be now completely separate projects
Hope you’re having a lovely day :)
Yes they are separate projects, two completely independent apps. But they are maintained by the same people (person) and are built on similar tech stacks, although not entirely equal.
Raccoon for Lemmy is the oldest one (and most feature rich) and is a Lemmy client, Raccoon for Friendica is a Friendica/Mastodon client born as a “spinoff” but focusing more on social interactions rather than news aggregation.
Friendica needed a mobile client, I thought to leverage what I had learned doing the Lemmy app to create one.
