asked:
Is there a mobile app for cohost in the works?
not currently, and it's unlikely we will (as things currently are) ever ship a mobile app for a few reasons.
- we allow NSFW/18+ content, which we've seen has been a serious issue for other platforms that want to be in an app store.
- there's only two full-time software engineers at cohost. we don't have the resources to make a good mobile app AND a good web app, and we wouldn't be able to ship something we're happy with.
if one or both of these things change then we'll probably reconsider. but no app for now.
Can I just say how fucking sad that first point is? If you want to support one of the most important parts of being human, that instantly disqualifies you from the gatekeepers in charge of the most prolific and accessible technological devices available.
"Where the hell did we go wrong?," she asked rhetorically.
NSFW posting isn't something I personally need/use much but I am always glad to see platforms embrace it (especially in their planning for the future) rather than explicitly or implicitly banning adult content users/relegating them to second-class status in the community.
