This is an unofficial Nothing News App, made to explore the Nothing design language and to let more people know about Nothing.

It is available for all devices running at least Android 13, so don’ t be shy, I need feedbacks to improve it as much as possible!

What the app does:

  • Discover Nothing Headlines: all the amazing articles that @Rob ⚡️ @Mattia ☀️ @Natalie ✨ and the community write here
  • Browse the gallery of the Phone (2a) community edition stages
  • Check the latest firmware updates
  • Get notified about news and firmwares (WIP)

Test the app

      Mirko_ddd nice! Thanks for sharing - we’re looking at making some improvements to community this year and a little spruce up of the UI is well overdue…what did you use to make this?

          Mirko_ddd This looks neat. But why would we need an app for this? We already have the nothing x app. I mean, I always access the community via the nothing x app. Why would we want another app?

              munim_falcon Widgets, notifications on new firmware updates and news.

              And first of all is a chance to experiment the design that nothing uses in its apps and try to mix it with material design.

                  Mirko_ddd This is very neat! Like how the tiles blend as you scroll through them. Could imagine this looking really nice as a widget too on the homescreen.

                      Louis ☕️ I gotta think about the widgets design, there are serious limitations on what you can display via RemoteViews and the only scroll direction allowed is vertical (unless the launcher itself implements some View that act as a Home Screen Widget, like Nothing Launcher does).

                      For the moment I am focusing on the app itself.

                        Looks cool. One of the best “Nothing-style” apps I’ve ever seen. I would believe if someone shared this and said it’s a first party Nothing app.

                          burakdede yep, a dude even reposted as his own tweet with my video (he credited me) but then it came out it was just an unofficial app and the dude deleted the post 🤣
