Getting the android app voice/video calls integrated properly so the phone actually rings now whether the app is running or not. Finishing touches while we still wait for the Apple dev account to come through.

No idea if I'm doing this right, but it appears to work pretty well!

Tinkering with updating our moderation bot to use Jev from typesafe.ai to apply custom chat message rules. Seems like a good fit and interesting to see how it compares to LLM classification.

Just getting the apple dev account set up for the iOS version of the app. We need this get going on the iOS specific bits that are different from Android (like notifications etc).

It's not all work work work. We're also looking to inject a bit of daily fun into OpenChat with some puzzles to start with.

Our android app is now available in Closed testing on the Play store (ask well as apk side-load). To find out how you can participate, go to oc.app/home, click "try the native app" and follow the instructions.

Work started refreshing the desktop UI design to match the native app. Exciting! Do we like?

Or maybe since the native app visual has been around for a while now too, we go a little further ... how do you think this one compares?

OK OpenChat android app (store version) now in review for "Closed testing" on the Play store. We will see what happens but hopefully we are one step closer.

We've been publishing apks for our Android app for manual install for some time. Just jumping through all the hoops to get a version in the Play store for testing now. Getting close to review time!

Release v2.0.2050 out just now. A few more bugs squashed. A few more performance improvements and hopefully video playback should now be a lot better.

It's a bit more alive than it was yesterday on my dodgy old iPhone.

Just breaking ground on the iOS native version. Will have similar challenges to Android in terms of limiting the feature set. But I think we have a much better idea of what we're up against this time and a lot of the underpinnings are already done.

We've said it before but it bears repeating: we will have to disable quite a few features to stand a chance with the app stores (at least to start with). There will always be a "full fat" manual apk version though (most recent version here github.com/open-chat-labs/op…)
