Indigenous for iOS
Indigenous for iOS was a native app for iOS that supported posting your website using Micropub and a built-in reader that supports Microsub.
The project was initially developed by Eddie Hinkle and was available on the iOS App Store with the source code on GitHub. There is also an Android version.
On May 8 2019, Eddie Hinkle announced that it was no longer maintained; development was transferred to Kristof De Jaeger who subsequently announced on 27 Jan 2021 that they were searching for new maintainer; on 28 Sep 2021 Mark Sutherland became the new maintainer; during early 2022 the app was removed from the iOS App Store.
