It's available for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The macOS build has not been approved yet, so give it a few days if you wish to install it.

Congratulations! Getting App Store approval is a pain. Well done!

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 1 points 4 days ago

Thank you, and yes, it was absolutely awful, lol!

And it was super costly too; I had to buy a whole mac computer just to compile for Apple devices, not to mention the $100/year developer fee as well. You can tell Apple isn't trying to have good DX. I'm sure you had a similar process as well though.

this is awesome news. i think i still like blorp better.

[–] Quicky@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Great news. I really like the way interstellar handles cross posts, which is something it seems to do better than voyager.

@alevalv @jwr1

Same for app store in Poland

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thank you guys, I have figured out the issue and addressed it!

I can't tell if it will automatically become available in the missing countries or if we have to wait till the next update. I'll check back in a day and let you know the status.

@jwr1 @alevalv

Thanks for your efforts. I can confirm that Interstellar is now available in the App Store in Poland. I just installed it 👍

Btw, I recently updated the Polish translation.

Do you plan on making it use native widgets and styles?

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

I've thought about it before, but I don't have any plans at the moment, as there are other things to focus on for now.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does it support multiple accounts?

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, you can sign into (or browse anonymously) with as many Mbin/Lemmy/PieFed accounts as you want.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would you be open to the idea of allowing a user to select different default posting and voting accounts? Piefed used to have semi-anonymous voting agents and it was the best feature of the platform, but the main dev removed the feature because of silly forum politics. I keep thinking it would be a great function to just have via the app instead to restore a pretty important privacy guard.

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I would be open to it. I've thought before it would nifty to have a "super up vote" feature that up votes a post with multiple accounts at the same time, and I think what you suggested would be implemented similarly.

[–] poesty@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cool! Is macOS build available on homebrew?

[–] jwr1@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

No, but I definitely wouldn't mind looking into adding it at some point.
