@dansup You should spend your time where you think best. That said, do you have any idea when the Android client for Loops will be available on the Play Store or F-Droid?
@mpjgregoire Thank you, and yeah I was working on Loops Android earlier tonight and it's ready to ship (Push Notifications will require a few more weeks on Android though).
I'll share more details next week!

Some could argue the break after FediCon to build Loops was a mistake, but the fediverse needed a solid short video platform and I didn't want to force that on Pixelfed.
Now this summer belongs to Pixelfed.
Stay tuned, I want to improve the web and mobile apps for the next million or ten million new Pixelfed members
@dansup remind me how much those people paid you and how much work they did on Pixelfed in the interim?

@dansup Terrific! I don't know if the Android client will lead to a major boost in users, but there will be at least one more.
Thanks again for your hard work.

@dansup I love Loops. With some fixes and more users I think it can completely replace Instagram for me. In fact, I just wiped my phone by installing Graphene on it, and I've only reinstalled Loops and not the Meta-owned hot garbage. Thank you for all your hard work!

@dansup I will test on degoogled Android if that helps.

@mpjgregoire @dansup Agreed when donating so much of your own time and resources you get to pick what you work on when. Thank you for everything you have helped to created.

@dansup Any plan in the medium or long term to have rich metrics for pixelfed too and a longer list of top users ?

@dansup good luck to you, but instagram killed photo sharing for me, that stuff was just so toxic and depressing.
-
@BoomlandJenkins @nunesgh @dansup Igualmente de acuerdo al 100%. Todo un acierto, dedicar Pixelfed sólo a fotografías (aunque también se puedan subir vídeos) y dedicar Loops sólo a vídeos cortos.

@dansup I am proud one of million users of Pixelfed. Keep going. Honestly the “Suggested for you” posts and “Ad” posts on Instagram definitely killed me. I want @pixelfed to remain chronological. I remained happy the fact that it is ad-free here on pixelfed
