minus-squaretourist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoYeah, the latter. There is an API, but I think it was only released in the last month or so. I’m not sure to what extent it’s complete. A kbin instance can be downloaded as a PWA, and it works decent. As for third party apps there’s Lunar, iOS only. Haven’t tried it. There was also Artemis. It had the best UI/UX design I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately the dev appears to have vanished. Before the API, I think they were web scraping.
