Super exciting update that I’ve been working on for a while. Finally able to pull together a single Quiblr repo for folks to explore and follow.

Check it out here

    The recommendation engine is 100% private and on-device + it can be turned off via settings. It’s novel and more experimental, but I wanted it to be available for folks to get more relevant content

    For the remove duplicate posts feature, it keeps whichever is 1st in the feed (so it depends which sort method is used). It only applies for posts with the same title and from the same OP. Another experimental feature, but this has been a particular point of annoyance that I’ve heard from folks (i.e. the same exact post filling up a feed)

      Fair rebuttal. I appreciate that it can be turned off and that it’s private and on-device. I’m still not sure that anyone wants that, but I could very well be wrong though.

      What advantages does this have over something like Voyager or Jerboa (those are my go-to’s right now for mobile)?

      How does the desktop version compare to something like Alexandrite (currently still my favorite)?

        I’ve tried to put an emphasis on making Quiblr with an intuitive UI, accessible (e.g. dyslexia fonts, text-to-speech, font size settings, etc.), and novel features.

        There are certainly other clients that are feature rich! But I envision Quiblr as a clean, familiar social media experience that reduces the friction that comes with the fediverse

        Feel free to give it a go and send me any feedback you have via the Feedback page

      I think it’s neat, and it would be cool for different clients to try out new features

      • people that like it can use the platform that has it
      • the rest of the platforms can learn about what works and what doesn’t work, and consider implementing the popular features

      Looks neat, I’ll try it soon :)

      The fact that it’s private and on-device doesn’t change the fundamental issue with it. It doesn’t provide more relevant results than subscribing to communities you are interested in. All it does is create toxic echo chambers because you will get served the same type of content that is getting the most engagement over and over again.

      It’s the warped perception of people fleeing to Fediverse, not because it’s Fediverse but because it’s not Twitter or Reddit or another platform that got enshittified, and they just want to re-create the same toxic status quo they used to love.

      All that said, I will always encourage open source development and good luck with your project.
