Nothing Community App Concept

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 dev...

@Mirko_ddd Looking on the pictures and now I really want to have it! I thought, that I will try to clean dust from Tapatalk and try access Nothing community by it, but your app looks way better. I´ve looked into the Play stroe, but it looks, that approval proces is still going (or?). So, you know what I will ask for, right now :-) Do search for “beta” testers? :-) Or do you have a GitHub thread?

Ghouless hello, the app Is not meant to be a forum app, has only news from forum, most recent firmware updates and browse the phone (2a) community edition submissions gallery.

The app is still on review on Google Play, but I am thinking to open an internal testing track, so if you’re interested you can DM your email (the one you use in Google Play, so I can invite you to test the app).

Ghouless

Mirko_ddd yup, if you can include also links related to Phone (2) into the app, it will be welcomed from my (I think not only) side. I will write you a DM.

Mirko_ddd

flo_rahil I see, thanks for the tip 😎

Mirko_ddd

Ghouless maybe there’s a misunderstanding, the gallery of phone (2a) community edition is the series of submissions that users have posted to participate in the 4 stages of making the “phone 2a community edition”.

Comparing the official widget for community headlines with one that comes with the app.

Thoughts?

Mirko_ddd IMHO I feel like the official one suits more since it blends better with the other widgets, maybe you could do a hybrid of the two. That said the app looks awesome, great work👀

Updated first post with download to Google Play.

Dr. Android

You should open the app to all Android devices, not just Nothing Phone users. Nothing Community is not only followed by Nothing device owners.

Mirko_ddd

Dr. Android it is for all android devices, from android 12 onwards

Fr4nKB it’s not possible to make the same widget as the official one (if I want to make it scrollable), and you should know it 😜.

The most similar layout I can use for a widget was StackView, instead the one is using the official app is a custom layout (not a real widget), I suppose it is a vertical recyclerView with a pager behaviour.

Mirko_ddd I’m sorry I’ve not tried the official widget nor I’m informed on how it behaves, I was judging based on the looks.
Looking at hellomalek screeshot I have to say that it does look cool, maybe the photo to the phone deceived me, I take back what I said earlier😂

Hi 👋, in my opinion, this is one of the best-designed third-party applications based on Nothing UI. Firmwares section totally rocks! The only thing I’m still unsure about is the widget. On one hand, I find the stack really cool, but on the other hand, it somehow doesn’t fit with the added depth among the other elements on my homepage. This is just honest feedback. Great job, I really appreciate your work. 🙌

Mirko_ddd

hellomalek thanks for the feedback 😎

Yep, widget is the most difficult part, because a real widget supports only a few of layouts, and the one that offers a similar scroll behaviour of the original was this. But don’t worry, if there’s a better way to do it for sure I will do.

Mirko_ddd

Fr4nKB lol 😂 😆

Mirko_ddd

Redesigned the bottom part into a card as you suggested @flo_rahil , and made it very lookalike to the official widget (vertical swipe). I feel I like much more than before

Mirko_ddd Mate, looks sick. Really like the overall flow of the UX, and keeping with the design language 👍🔥

flo_rahil

Mirko_ddd That looks great brother. Nice implementation of the vertical scroll.

Mirko_ddd

aarond203 thank you very much ❤️ just working on more widgets and a notification system and I’d say is ready. Glad you’re enjoying the demo!
