Hi, sorry for late follow up on this. I did a write up on the Quiblr “For You” feed here

Yeah, just 15 seconds and jot down a comment. Whenever I’m even hesitant, I just leave a comment. Doesn’t hurt anything and it can always be removed if not needed

Easier to remove later rather than add it after the fact

I appreciate all the kind words! You are correct that it is a frontend with recommendation engine built in. And the speed likely comes from being a progressive web app.

There are tradeoffs, but it definitely makes thinks “snappier” :)

I pushed an update to Quiblr. I added the instance detail to the Communities page. Additionally, the vertical 3 dot ellipses on each post has an option called Post Detail >> I added the original post url here

Let me know if you have any additional feedback!

That is an effect of the dynamic sizing (adjusting the style for different screen dimensions) + it may be because the items are in a flatlist. I will add a dynamic image size setting option tonight to allow users to show the full image ratio rather than a standardized image size.

Edit: dynamic image size setting is now live

I use Kofi for donations (button in the top bar). I build and pay for everything myself so support is appreciated!

Let me know if you have any feedback!

I see what you mean. To clarify, Quiblr as a platform is also 100% private. It doesn’t even use Google Analytics. The only data that I collect is anything submitted via the Feedback form + Umami for analytics .

No. Posts are not downloaded and Quiblr is purely a frontend (you can choose which instance you want to use). The algorithm basically crafts the relevant API calls to populate the For You feed with content that matches your usage preferences. Those preferences and metadata are all stored on your device

I appreciate the kind words. And yes, I included a mechanism to constantly refresh and clean up recommendations so that it doesn’t use too much memory

Quiblr is purely a frontend. It creates a standardized experience across Instances (including the feed personalization). Im not super familiar with Kbin. If it uses the same API as Lemmy then it should work.

Long-term, I’d love to integrate more and more fediverse platforms into Quiblr

Gotcha. That should be an easy addition. I’ll see if I can push an update tonight!

Edit: I noted this in a separate comment, but I added the instance info to the communities page + the original post url to the Post Details page (via the 3 dot ellipses)

Yup, 100% completely local to your device alone

All front-end.

And thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate what you mean by “can’t find the real URL of anything”?

And front-end app creators!

This is already possible in many Lemmy apps. I built the Quiblr web app and messages are more similar to a messaging app. Many Lemmy apps probably do similar as it’s just a front-end change.

My goal in life is to reach this state of zen

No joke. Plus I see them all over airports in various languages. I’m sure many people fall victim to QR code scams

I think the struggle is that we still need to build more tools for the fediverse ecosystem. I’ve been building Lemmy frontends but it’s a big lift to make a world class experience for users, moderators, instance owners, etc.

Progress is being made, but I agree that Lemmy was not prepped for the wave of Reddit users.

This is why I’ve never scanned a public QR code. I wouldn’t trust this random qr code to open a link on my phone. Which is unfortunate because I can see how it makes things easier for restaurants
