Unfortunately there will not be an Android release. I don't have the bandwidth to produce and support apps cross platform. Sorry!

That’s great to know. I’m more of a lurker on every social media site so I’ll have to break out of my habits during these launch periods.

Understandable! I haven’t got tons of feedback thus far. I’ll definitely consider bumping these values up.

I’m the developer of an iOS and iPadOS app that I think is relevant here. My app Ephemera is a simple read-later application that places expiration dates on every link you add. If you don’t read the article in time, it disappears forever.
The app isn’t for everyone, but if you are buried under the torrent of information you “think” you should read, I have found that Ephemera helps me focus and actually read more.
You can find the app here: https://deadpan.io/ephemera/
I’d love for Hacker News to check it out!

I recently launched an iOS app that may be relevant here!
Unlike other apps that save bookmarks that stay unread forever, Ephemera sets a deadline that the bookmark must be read by. Miss the deadline, and that bookmark is gone.
I’d love for the hacker news community to check it out!

Hi! I’m the developer of Bound, an iPhone audiobook app. My app supports DRM free audiobooks with the ability to save your place and save individual bookmarks. Please check it out if you are interested:

At this time no. Audiobooks and their current progress are local to the device.
This is a fairly complicated feature to implement and I haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

Wow! Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it.

I created and maintain an audiobook iPhone app, Bound. I’ve been meaning to integrate LibriVox as a source but the API leaves a lot to be desired. Has anyone had experience with this? It seems like I should just use Archive.org as the source instead.
If anyone wants to check out my app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bound-audiobook-player/id10417...

Developer here! I'd love to discuss my project with you guys.
Bound was developed for iOS using (mostly) Swift.
There are many audiobook apps on the App Store but all of them tie you to an ecosystem or require syncing with iTunes. `Bound - Audiobooks for Dropbox` is different. Bound lets you download your favorite audiobooks to your iPhone for quick and easy listening. Never lose your position, even across multiple audio files, as Bound automatically saves your location as you progress through the book.
Bound lets you:
- Link your Dropbox account. Quickly download your audiobook files.
- Play your audiobooks in a beautiful modern interface.
- Automatically saves your listening position so you never lose your place.
- Bookmark locations while listening for reference later.
- Add custom cover art (if the default art isn't nice enough for you!).
I'll be hanging out in the comments section in case you guys want to chat!
Best,
Tim

Social justice like this is great. But If you have a 35 million dollar estate - the likelihood that he buys groceries or gas himself is slim to none.

This looks really cool.
I kinda want to hijack this thread to ask what specific use cases people have for their Chromebooks? I'm pretty interested in it as a mobile (disposable?) terminal.
I found that Groupon has a refurbished C720 Chromebook for 130 bucks right now and it piqued my interest.
