I'd love to make a kbin mobile app. Is the REST API ready?
I've been poking around the API docs here: https://docs.kbin.pub/#introduction
But I don't seem able to get the requests to work when pointing at kbin.social. Is the API not ready? Or maybe disabled due to load?
Any guidance on this would be great.
ernest currently disabled the API to focus on the website. He will probably re-enable it later down when he finalizes the website.
Makes sense, thank you for the quick answer.
Maybe talk to him - so you can start in the background.
Would love to see some apps for kbin/lemmy.
Do you plan for wider support of the fedivers?
If it's a matter of being disabled, I can always just run a local instance in docker with it enabled to get me going, so I should be good.
I'll see what I can do!
there are a few other kbin instances, for example https://fedia.io/ maybe they have the api enabled
No, the API isn't ready yet. But that isn't stopping some people

I have found a GItHub repot with a mobile app project https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin-mobile .
This might be a starting point for a mobile app. I am not sure if ernest has any intention on continuing the project.
I have worked with Flutter before an it is a phenomenal framework for multi platform development.
Really looking forward to a kbin app! Godspeed!
