To provide more choice to developers offering apps in the UK Play Store and in light of concerns raised by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, we are rolling out user choice billing in the UK on 29th March. We'll start with non-gaming apps, similar to the approach we’ve taken in other countries. This reflects our commitment to engage with the Authority’s process at pace.

While over 90% of our developers are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with Google Play’s billing, which provides a secure way for people to buy subscriptions and digital goods in apps, we recognise that some developers may want more choice in how they process payments. This launch enables developers to offer an additional billing system alongside Google Play’s billing system and users can choose which option to use at checkout.

Hi everyone,

I am the indie developer behind SoraSNS (a Fediverse and Bluesky client featured by Tech Crunch twice).

I just started working on a modern and futuristic styled Lemmy client. It will have a modern UI and equal features as the alien blue app.

Some features I am planning include: Features with a ⭐ star sign means it will be included in the first release (around first week of May)

  • almost all features like alien blue app (you know which app I am referring to) ⭐
  • a better notification interface so you can see the thread the message belongs to⭐
  • auto translation feature⭐
  • bookmark folders⭐
  • folders to organized your subscribed communities⭐
  • a discovery feed for most popular posts from your subscribed communities and followed persons
  • watch a post and receive notifications about new comments
  • scroll to switch to previous or next post in the list ⭐
  • no AI and no ads
  • Home Screen widget to automatically show top news, refreshed automatically several times a day ⭐️
  • Filters for posts and comments based on activity, follow status ⭐️
  • Cross-post to multiple communities at once in composer ⭐️
  • One tap repost to duplicate current post to other community ⭐️

The image I attached is obviously the build 0. The target release date is around the first week of May.
