Would definitely love if @ProductHunt would grant write access to some apps. Feline looks very promising and well designed, but the possibility to upvote my favorite products is a total need for a comprehensive mobile experience of PH.

Looks nice. What i don't unterstand with a lot of these apps is all the different permissions they need. This one e.g. needs access to my phone identity, pictures and some more. Why? Devs should include the reasons for it in their app description.

@willyyr Hey, I'm the developer of the app. Thank you for the amazing feedback. The app is built on react native and I believe these are the default permissions that react requires. My app doesn't go through any of the phones data, I can assure that :)

@arjunz Cool thanks. Maybe you are able to remove those unused ones. Great to know you are using react native. How has your experience been using it and would you recommend going that route for other developers?
Arjun
@willyyr I'll check what I can do about the permissions. React native is fun and easy, and the development will be very fast compared to native android. Since many developers are familiar with JavaScript, lot of people can contribute into development of mobile apps. My main concern was performance, I was not sure if the app would be as silky smooth as a native app. Anyway it turned okay, al though there are minor performance issues.

Why another android app when theres a nice one open source? maybe if you contribute....https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

@deambulando I couldn't contribute since I develop apps on react native. Other PH apps are developed in native android, and I'm not a big fan of that. But I don't mind open-sourcing feline :)

@arjunz if you open source it you will get more help, 100% sure ;) and my upvote of course.
Arjun
@deambulando I'll document and make it open source by tomorrow 😊
