Frequently Asked Questions about Artemis

Technical details

What is Artemis using for building its user interface?

The Artemis UI is built with React Native + Typescript.

How does Artemis work with kbin?

Artemis uses its own API which scrapes kbin. This is only temporary until an official kbin API is available.

Will Artemis work with Lemmy instances?

While Artemis is primarily meant for kbin instances, it will eventually also work with Lemmy instances too.

Is Artemis open-source?

Artemis is currently not open-source yet, however it is planned in the future.

What mobile platforms is Artemis available on?

Artemis is available for iOS and Android.

How will testers get the app?

Internal Testers receive test releases first from expo.dev links, while Beta Testers will get releases from TestFlight (iOS) and Google Play Testing (Android).

How is login information stored within the app?

Login credentials are stored locally on your device and are fully encrypted.

Will Artemis support Linux* phones?

There are currently not any plans to support Linux devices, sorry!

*non-Android

Will microblogging work while logged into a Lemmy instance?

No, the microblogging feed will be hidden unless you are logged in with a kbin instance account.

Will there be any monetisation?

Yes, however the core functionality will be free forever. Special features that might need server upcosts (none at the moment) or "premium" skins will be monetised, primarily leaning on donations.

Roadmap

When will I have access to the beta?

Now.

  • Public Beta (0.2.0) release - Limited to the Artemis instance for new users until the official kbin API rolls out elsewhere
  • Public Beta (0.2.1) release - Lemmy API support

What key features will Artemis have?

Disclaimer: These are subject to change.

  • Collapsible comments and posts
  • Haptic feedback on vote, refresh, etc.
  • Seamless navigation with swipe gestures
  • Swipe voting on comments and posts
  • Easily distinguish users and posts not from your instance via the globe next to their name

Suggestions from us to the community

  • We encourage you to take a look at the Github milestones to see what features are planned to be implemented with each release.
  • Check out the roadmap that @hariette is keeping updated on Google Docs.
  • Go to the Artemis repo, parse the README, then take a look at the issue tracker to see if any bugs you've seen have already been reported

Just here to say thank you🙏

[–] grogreen2001@kbin.social 22 points 2 years ago

And I also would like to say Thank You!

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

I don't recall there being a consensus on FOSS status, so i was wondering if there was going to be an initial cost? Or a potentially a price for a pro version so @hariette can continue development on it long-term and be compensated for her work?

We're currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.

Great seeing there's quick progress on this, though. Thank you!

[–] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Thank you for all the work you are putting into this!

[–] bencurrandev@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Been following the development on Mastodon, screenshots and videos look great! Been a huge fan of Apollo so similar UI sounds great to me!

[–] heyfluxay@nerdbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Can’t wait for kbin apps to start dropping.

[–] L-N-Owhere@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Looking forward to trying Artemis! Exciting times for both developers and users as the Fediverse/Threadiverse grows and evolves.

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Sweet, can't wait to see the UIs and designs everyone comes up with on these apps

[–] okbin@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Looking forward to being able to use it once it’s my turn :)

Possibly a stupid question as I don’t know anything about making an app or APIs - since Artemis doesn’t use kbin’s API yet, can you still post comments through Artemis? Or is it read-only for now?

[–] w8l@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. This comment is an example, since commenting just rolled out to internal testers.

Posted with Artemis (beta)

[–] okbin@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Neat!

[–] Blakerboy777@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

So excited for this! Can't wait till I get a chance to test it.

[–] Jezebelley@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Can't wait to test this app!

[–] szczur@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I can't wait. Thank you!

[–] cls@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Excited for the app and thank you!

[–] Maxstone@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Go ahead

[–] MelenHirren@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Now testing the iOS TestFlight version. Many thanks to Hariette and the team, you’re doing a great job! Will give the beta a go and give feedback if necessary.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Is the app dead? All I get for months now is an error.

Artemis could not talk to instance.

And when I click on my account it ends to getting stuck in a loop just showing the logo.
