₦airaland Forum

Hello Fellow Devs,

So as the title says, I have built a Reddit-like app for Africa called Afroic(pronounced Afro-wik) and I would really appreciate your feedback on it. I have spent quite some time building this app so I would really like to know what you guys think about it.

Here's the link to it: https://afroic.com/

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks

I love it, it reminds me of Youtube also. The UI is clean, and the color use is very good.

Great work

looks nice and spacious

i love it, the attention to details is good. there truly is beauty in simplicity

Beautiful UI, it's Clean.

OP, this is not a criticism of your work. But I have a nagging feeling that this is a reskinned version of Lemmy.ml

Good UI all the same. Not in android to test the Mobile app but looking good

Great work op

Wow this is amazing

I've tested, this looking great. The fact we can actually have a proper comment thread is a win.

- Please include dark-themes. The most IMPORTANT THING. Even tho it doesn't look bad with Dark Reader Addon.
- Again, people with high resolutions like 1440p, 4K etc will have huge space. Look at the attachment.
- Settings is still basic, but this will probably get better with time.

Still exploring.

This is more of an advanced Nairaland than Reddit.

- There's no concept of SubReddit. They're predefined like in Nairaland
- Mods ?
- Cross-posting ?
- Rich text support ? Plans for Markdown at least ?

- Support for Direct messages ?
- Notifications ? Tho I will have to make another account to test this.
- I also like how you can select target country when making a new post, instead of "Afroic", wouldn't "All" or something similar be more descriptive ?
- Each Sub forum should have a "Submit" button that automatically selects for that forum.

Nice work, what language did you use for this

It's very good but it's giving me Nairaland vibe and not Reddit.

Great development!
I like options, and Seün needs competition too.

I suggest you take out the dislike button.
We must encourage positivity and good vibes only.

Looks promising.
Keep working on it until (almost) perfection.
Don't forget to add food section.
Competition is good for growth.

@bolded, I've suggested it more than once to seun, but...

FFO detected.

It's no longer a competition if that guy sorts out major issues. Nairaland will die a death like BBM* .

Tried reporting him to madam ?

Will do.

- Each Sub forum should have a "Submit" button that automatically selects for that forum.

Actually, that's exactly how it works. When you go to a subforum and click the submit button it automatically selects that forum for you.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will work on it.

Thank you all for your feedback! I will definitely take all of your suggestions into consideration.

How much would you charge to set up a food blog?

Try and add dark mode ok.

Nice one easy to navigate and simple
