Say hello to Jive

UPDATE: Jive is no more. Our renamed app Hooha is now available on Google Play.

Say hello to Jive, a brand new Android app for the brand new platform App.net.

This is a very raw alpha build so please be aware the app is in no way complete. Then again neither is App.net so lets just roll with it.

Things Jive can do:

  • View your stream, mentions and global posts.
  • Compose a new post.
  • Reply or repost other posts.
  • Open links from posts.
  • Android 2.2 +

Things Jive will have soon:

  • User handling – @user tags will open in your mobile browser at the moment.
  • Hashtag handling – #hashtags will open in your mobile browser at the moment.
  • Better refresh – refresh blows away the stream and loads it again. It needs to be smarter.
  • Background loading.
  • More and more awesome features.

If you have access to App.net alpha please try out Jive and let me know what you think. If not http://join.app.net

There’s an option in-app to send feedback. I’d really appreciate it.

UPDATE : v 0.2.0

  • Share links/text from other Android apps to Jive.
  • Tab select scroll to top.
  • Drop down options to reply and repost from stream.
  • Fixed sort order of posts.
  • Display usernames instead of full names.

Download Jive for App.net Version 0.2

UPDATE !!

I’ve taken the download link down as there’s legal issues with using the name Jive. A new version of the app will be available in the next few days.

You can get Hooha for App.net now from Google Play.

 

Lastly you can follow me @deniz on App.net
