Manyverse is a social network app using the SSB protocol (Secure Scuttlebutt) where you can write posts and share with friends nearby or over the internet. It's different from mainstream social networks because your data is yours, it lives on your phone, not in the cloud. So there is no login, no company holding your data, no ads, no tracking of your activity, it's just you and your friends!
Very cool, congratulations on the release! I've been following the SSB project for a while now and this strikes me as a major milestone. I see the project is in React Native - which is what my team primarily uses for mobile dev - so... shouldn't be *crazy* hard to ship this for iOS right?? ;) Are there any major blockers to running an SSB client on iOS?
@semateos Your intuition is right! It should not be hard to port this to iOS. There are just specific obstacles here and there. The biggest obstacle is porting the backend project (in Node.js). On Android, node.js uses some native modules, and those are difficult to compile for arm64 using clang or GCC. We managed on Android, but there are still some obstacles with iOS. And then there's also minor issues with porting UI components, but that's typical for React Native apps. Either I'll get to do this iOS port later when the Android is in a good shape, or someone heroic from the community steps up :)
