Interstellar's latest update supports PieFed's alpha API
Interstellar's latest update supports PieFed's alpha API
We've been working on adding (alpha) PieFed support to the Interstellar app for the past few weeks, and it has finally been released.
Keep in mind that the API is currently limited in its capabilities, and we were not able to implement all the features Interstellar provides; this is the case wherever you see a screen or pop-up message that says "Unimplemented" error. Additionally, the alpha API could easily change at any moment, so don't expect it to work without issues.
If you'd like to try it out despite it being an "alpha" feature, then when you go to sign-in, enter preferred.social as the Instance Host. See this post (https://piefed.social/post/484755) if you'd like more information about that instance and general PieFed API info.
Might be time to try out PieFed! Hoping more apps support both Mbin and PieFed later on.
Hi, just testing. I'm writing this from Interstellar on Piefed.
Awesome!
Oh, now I can't comment from Piefed anymore.
I got "ClientException: Request failed with status 400: REQUEST: ('error": " 429 Too Many Requests" when I tried to submit my comment.
Now I'm getting "type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'String" in the comment area when opening the post.
My original comment was:
Notifications don't seem to work. I'm getting "UnimplementedError" when viewing them.
And the post body text is missing when I open a post. When I tap upvote, the post body text appears.
Not complaining, only pointing out some things I've noticed. I'm happy there's a second app for Piefed in development.
Congratulations, test failed successfully
Omg this just keeps getting better and better! 😄
This is really cool. Thinking about turning the api on on my own instance to give it a whirl..
That would definitely help you give it a thorough look - I haven't been able to even get the app to run for me since yesterday, but when I did look it was VERY much still alpha, and yet quite promising for all that:-).
I kinda like the PieFed web UI though... but, it does make the platform more welcoming to people that refuse to use a web browser for whatever reason and demand an app so, I guess I'm glad that Interstellar is doing this?
In addition to the Thunder app support as well, ofc!:-D
Great news!
Great stuff! I wish Piefed all the success in the world!
Finally a mobile app for Piefed!
