I found Bean to be the best client - but it’s gone. What’s everyone using instead?

      Currently using a mixture of Voyager, Mlem and Blorp - one will win in time.

        How can I help Blorp win. What’s currently holding you back from going all in, and how can I fix that?

          I’m using it right now; the experience is generally positive. The only things that I miss when in Blorp that I have access to elsewhere are:

          (a) compact view - I tend to be on public transport a lot when using my phone and am therefore prone to shoulder-surfing; would be good if images could be small so as to avoid potential embarrassment

          (b) profile information - if there was some way of viewing more detailed user info (eg account age) without leaving the app to view the user source

          Everything else about Blorp works really well - the UI is generally minimalist and lightweight, it feels very efficient and free of bloat, it can handle multiple user accounts and it doesn’t come with huge numbers of features that are nice but not really needed (eg multiple app icons).

          If any of (a) or (b) are user-error, please let me know.

          Thank you for your work on this.

              Thanks for getting back to me,

              I’m now also noticing that Blorp handles inbox notifications more efficiently than one other app (don’t need to wait / refresh) and very helpfully colour codes the comment I’m replying to.

                Thanks! There is kinda an issue where the little red dot shows up before the new comment does in the inbox. Ideally the new comment should be loaded as soon as the red dot shows up. Same thing for messages. That’s on my todo list to fix, so it’s going to get even better.

        Yes, you’re absolutely right (completely forgot about that). I do appreciate that the dev is responsive to users’ requests and concerns.

          Blorp should be built collaboratively, so all your feedback is important to me!

      I also paid for Bean; I found it that good. Have dowloaded Voyager; will play with MLEM as well. Thank you for the suggestion.

        Also using Mlem. In the beginning (api exodus) I bounced between Mlem, Memmy, and bean. Only Mlem still exists, and gets better every week.

    Saw a lot of people praise Apollo Voyager and I‘m using it too right now. It’s great and development is still quite active.
