  1. I'm on the waiting list but how about the desktop / laptop usage? I loved G+ because I had full access to it through both mediums. I despise instagram because its mobile only. I hope #Openbook work fine on computers too!

  2. Here we go:

    What about the web version?

    We’re still aiming to ship it together with our first mobile version, however… The web version prototype was done in our earliest days, our ideas, thoughts and features for the platform have evolved massively.

    Bringing the early prototype up to speed might not be as easy as we currently believe it to be, so… unfortunately, no matter how remote the chance might be, there is still a chance web version might arrive a bit later than the mobile app.

  3. Displaying a follower count is optional with the default being off.

  4. Kerem Go That could be a problem: I don't own a smartphone, and my feature phone cannot use non-proprietary apps.

  5. Kerem Go from what I read today the desktop version will take a little longer, they don't know exactly how much.

  6. Benjamin Russell Same here Benjamin! I also don't own a smartphone and not considering it. I have a tablet but still not comfortable with Instagram's mobile only thing. The thing I like with G+ most that it was working full on both.

  7. Joan Egert Yes that date being unknown gave me some cold feet about it.

  8. Impressive update, though I'll note that the release still isn't hammered down. When I emailed Openbook a few weeks ago, they were trying to beat Google+'s accelerated shutdown date.

    I'm also curious about the shade thrown on Ello. I'm aware of the management change there, but not of bigger moves (as with Google, something of a radio silence there). Anyone have the scoop?

  9. Benjamin Russell As an interim solution, an email list, or Groups solution (e.g., Google Groups, Yahoo Groups), may be your best bet.

    It's simple, accessible, and can keep your community together. It's also not sufficiently good that it's likely to become your final destination (though that might not be all bad either).

    Points on crunchtime and censorship noted.

  10. A cursory glance at Deamwidth shows me they aren't even fully mobile responsive.
    I'm out.

  11. Edward Morbius my stream has not continuity to it as it used to. Your post of 5 days ago shows up as new with the one before being 16 min.

    If there a settings change missed or something I can do. I realise this off topic but I can't help but think it has something to do with G+ returning itself.

    Fascinating ... in my case, I do not use a smartphone (instead, I use a feature phone), and, hence, cannot open a browser on it. Therefore, I have no need for mobile functionality.

    However, I do use a personal computer for all my Internet-related needs. Therefore, to me, Web-based (or, alternatively, application-based) access is essential.

    Therefore, I actually have a paid subscription with Dreamwidth; however, I cannot even begin to use Openbook effectively unless Web-based access becomes available.
