Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there’s still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you’re not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows

    Neat. Excited to try it on my Mac tomorrow.

    Major wants from me would be (for iOS) ability to hide read posts, mark as read in scroll, and ability to share any media really easily. This is what made Apollo top tier.

    Fantastic work so far! Real smooth and fast!

      Join the TestFlight for iOS if you haven’t already!

      I’ll probably ship hide read posts in the next update sometime next week. iOS lets you long press to share media, but I need to add that on the desktop app.

      By mark read in scroll, do you mean you manually mark things read in the feed? Or something else?

        That sounds brilliant! Loving it so far.

        I actually meant “mark read on scroll” haha but my keyboard autocorrect always loves to change on to in.
