On October 1st, a new version got released, mainly to compliant and avoid being removed from the play store! So, nothing exciting to report 😕
I’m in release mode 😎
0.2.13 - 2024-09-28
===================
* **[chore]** maintenance update to stay compliant with play store
I still owe you the changelog for the previous release though:
0.2.12 - 2024-02-10
===================
* **[improvement]** press top banner to scroll to top
After a nice long beta period of 4 months (I forgot about it 🫢), 0.2.11 has been promoted to production. Highlight is the eternal loading state bug fix. On the technical side, I migrated crashlytics from Sentry to Firebase. You can disable reporting in the settings.
Changes since 0.2.7:
0.2.11 - 2023-03-26 =================== * fix eternal loading state + various bugfixes * disable mark all as read button during loading * replaced SentryLog by Firebase crashlytics * center implicit refresh indicator + bigger text * bump min sdk to 21 (firebase dep -> multidex)
Just in case you wonder about the changes since 0.2.5:
0.2.7 - 2023-01-25
==================
* fix utf8 html decode for titles
* fix padding on progress indicator
0.2.6 - 2023-01-22
==================
+ added setting: open in external browser
CoinGeek News is a very simple app to read the CoinGeek news in a more structured way (i.e. chronologically). The goal is to add some features like favorites, filtering on metadata, etc. The app has been in open beta since June 2021, and I had the intention to release to production only when some more value had been added. However, since I’ve already been using myself for more than 2 years now, I guess it could be useful for some other people too..
The past few weeks, I’ve been cleaning up the app and making it Play store compliant (both technical and privacy wise) so today, I can finally publish to production. 🥳
Current features under development are favorites and post tags.
0.2.5 - 2023-01-21 ================== * url launcher fix 0.2.4 - 2023-01-20 ================== * clear cache: ask confirmation * try to fix elusive crash on startup 0.2.3 - 2023-01-19 ================== * mark all as read: ask confirmation * improve settings section visuals + settings show database stats 0.2.2 - 2023-01-18 ================== * gdpr compliant * flutter3 upgrade
The Coingeek news site is my favorite source for blockchain news. I discovered it a few years ago but didn’t really visit regularly back then. I read the occasional shared post on twitter or one that popped into my google now feed. If I didn’t have time right away to read an article that peaked my interest, I visited the site some time later to catch up. However, most of the time, it turns out I had a really hard time finding back that article. On the site there is nowhere a timeline with the latest articles in a chronological order. Also, not all articles get posted on social media, or even if they’re posted, I might not notice them (I don’t feel like reading crypto twitter every day 🙄). So although I like the coingeek website, for me it’s not very practical. But hey, no big deal, I hear you say? you can’t read everything..?
I agree, until last year 🙂 During Coingeek Conference days, there are so many exciting announcements, you don’t want to miss any article! So for the last conference in October 2020 I quickly mashed together a prototype app so I could follow the news. It’s a very basic app right now and it doesn’t do much, but since I use it almost every day, I thought someone else might find it already useful too..
I do have some ideas to enhance it: favoriting, search (online/offline), post preview, filter using tags, …
The next coingeek conference is happening next week June 8 to 10 in Zurich, but also completely accessible online! So, without further ado, I’m releasing an open beta of the app as I speak. It is a cross-platform app written in flutter, but only available for android (for now?).
Join the beta from Android.
Join the beta from the web.
Enjoy the conference!
