@realcaseyrollins Used it for 2 seconds, but yeah!
I wonder if I can get someone to rebrand this for me + have the auth section default to a particular instance...

I would be willing to pay to have that work done.

@farhan That's a feature I would like to see added. One way they could make this happen is have a customizable xml file in the program files that can set the default instance as well as the photos used for the avatar. That way, you can either change the settings, or instances can release their own versions on their websites with the XML file changed, and it will still get updates despite the different branding.

@realcaseyrollins @Husky Interesting approach. But when I download an app from the Playstore, you download the app, not an associated XML - and for non-techies, that might be confusing.

Is there a way to simplify that?

@farhan @Husky Yes; by adding settings. The XML would just be in the app's settings files and get saved with the changes.

If an instance wants to brand their version of , they could either share their customized version of the XML, or share their copy of the APK that has the customized XML bundled with it.

@realcaseyrollins @farhan there is very basic rebranding support but you need to rebuild app from the source for that.

I don't plan changing the way how it works but extending it -- yes.
@Husky @realcaseyrollins I would be excessively interested in that. I do not know how to compile an Android app at all from source :(
