Nemmy

This post will be updated regularly.

Last update: 06.08.2023, updated roadmap

Tl;DR

Nemmy is a PWA (Progressive Web App), this means that you can use Nemmy in the browser of your choice or install it on your device.

If you want to stay updated about the progress, make sure to stop by at the end of the day here. I usually post the daily Dev Update around 11pm UTC.

Website: nemmy.app

GitHub: github.com/cr4yfish/nemmy

App Stores:

• Google Play
• Fdroid - Coming Soon

How to install

1. Visit the Website
2. Press "install to device". This button will be displayed in various locations depending on the device.

• On Desktops it's usually on the right side of the URL bar
• On phones it's usually in the settings/sidebar menu

Supported OSs for installation of the PWA

• Android
• IOS (Only installable via Website)
• Windows 10/11
• Chrome OS
• Linux maybe (untested)

All other devices can of course still access the Website like usual.

Known Issues

There are a lot so I'll only list very annoying ones

...

Most issues are fixed by refreshing the browser window or the PWA screen.

Donations

I'm creating Nemmy because I want to, not because I want to earn any money from it - but hosting it costs a lot of money and after seeing the last bill from my hosting provider I decided to open up donations.

Any money donated will be used only and exclusively for the hosting costs.

Roadmap for Q3 2023

The roadmap is taken from GitHub and will be kept up-to-date

Note: A crossed off item does not mean I wont improve it anymore. It just means the basic implementation is done.

Ideas for Q4+

• Use GPT3.5 to sum up large text bodies
• Improve search Indexing of Posts
• Make every single feature of the App 100% usuable for Blind, deaf and color blind people
• Add a keyword ban (e.g. you don't want anything with "Beans" in your feed)
• Improve PWA Experience until it feels like a native app
• Think about making a native app
