It sucks to see users flock to another platform and not Pixelfed because the lack of official apps in the app stores.

I'm not resting until the app is ready to ship, enough is enough!

@dansup just installed the f-droid version, and it is neat. Maybe better Android desktop mode support could make it neater.

One thing that I learned working for a tech startup:

Sometimes, you just gotta ship it. It's going to be imperfect, but you'll figure it out.

@dansup I think you’d have more options of getting tips and subs for financial support once the app is in the App Store. So many more people would have access to it.

@dansup keep at it. I'm pretty new to the Fediverse. Made this account with Mastodon a few months ago & made a Pixelfed account last week

Platforms like Cara need funding to survive & it's a hard balancing act to be able to survive without selling your soul WHILE also making it attractive to artists & people who just want to look at pictures.

Something like Pixelfed takes back control & puts it into the hands of communities while still being accessible to everyone. This is important work.

@dansup The lack of an official app on iOS has been exactly why nobody in my friend/family group has tried it. It’s by far the biggest barrier.
