Hello everyone!

I'm the developer of Loops and I have some exciting news to share! Recently, we shipped the beta version of the Loops server with ActivityPub support and an oAuth backed API.

We're now preparing the beta release of our redesigned app that is much faster, feature packed and resolves many issues with the previous app (especially on Android).

It's open source, follow along here: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-expo

I'll be sharing a big update soon, stay tuned!

Can you write a short tidbit on the GitHub of how to get started with the app from the beginning?

Seeing you have an app now, I got pretty interested to try it out. I went to the GitHub and I see the commands, but I have no idea where to use them. Do I have to download another app? Another app store like f-droid? Root? Something on my computer with a phone tether?

I don't think it needs to be anything particularly complex, just a bit more info would be a huge help for out of the loop (heheh pun) people like me.
