Told my colleagues about devRant and they laughed it off saying that it's just 'another app'.
Fuck them.10 -

Who else thinks having their devrant avatar in this loading screen (in the app) will give it a more personal touch? ;)

!rant
Fathers day today, my 6 year old passes me some presents.
First 3 opened.
Devrant cap
Devrant stressball
Devrant stickers
Yes son! (Well obviously, technically it was my wife) I assume she must have seen me on the app :)6 -
Normal app: "DEV I NEED THIS, 1 STAR. WITHOUT THIS IS SHIT"
devrant app: "Guys, I've created a client for desktop computer for devrant, tell me if I can upgrade anymore"
Such beautiful community ♥4 -
I literally just opened devRant app to upload this photo and discovered @tdails posted about the same thing.

Roommate: I thought you aren't into social media...
Me: This is devRant, it's different.
Roommate: How so.
Me: It's for like minds, very well structured and has this fun feature which let's me create myself as a cartoon for my profile pic.
Next Day..........…......……
Me: (walks into the room) Why are you laughing and why are you using my phone.
Roommate: I THINK I LOVE THIS APP. I might actually download it.
Note: Roommate is a musician who studied CS in school.7 -

6) ....
(damn my muscle memory)5 -

print("Hello DevRant!")
I'm new to the community but I really dig everyone's posts and attitude. This app is great!8 -
devRant is just like developers democracy
devRant is an APP "of the DEVELOPERS" , by the DEVELOPERS, and for the DEVELOPERS6 -
Tried to double tap on a programming joke in the iOS Twitter app... Closed Twitter and opened devRant.4
-
I give up. It‘s impossible to argue with Apple.
I tried to bring my unofficial iOS devRant app "JoyRant" into the AppStore. It was available via TestFlight for years and it wasn‘t a problem there, apparently. Now for the AppStore, it is a problem.
I talked with the Apple review team for 3 weeks and the discussion went in circles.
They said that my app tries to disguise as or to misrepresent another app on the store (the official devRant app, even though it‘s not available anymore, apparently).
I was asked to remove all of the mentions of devRant from any description or any place in the app. I did. Even though it was stupid because how are people supposed to know that they need a devRant account to use my app? I‘m not allowed to mention devRant.
After that, they said that it can not have the name JoyRant because it sounds too similar to devRant.
I changed it to devJoy everywhere, the app, the meta data for the app store, the github page where the required legal crap is hosted, and in the legal documents themselves.
Did it help? No, it didn‘t.
Apple then proceeded to claim that my app is trying to deceive the users into thinking that this is the official devRant app. Even though I have explicitly stated in the description that it is just an unofficial devRant client.
Now apple says that I should "revise the app content".
Which I assume means that I need to make it something different. Yeah. Great suggestion!
So, I will rename the app back to JoyRant and provide it via TestFlight, as it was before.
Thanks for reading. I needed to vent.31 -
What if there is an app called CliRant where client complaint about devs. Or worse they find out devRant =_=16
-
Holy cow 😯
DevRant web app got updated.
😥 Must resist to spend time on social media. Must resist 😑5 -
devRant is the first time I see so many people announcing to the world how much they like the app. Imagine someone be like "I LOVE Facebook! <3"
Btw, I LOVE devRant! <33 -
@dfox You may want to explicitly set the text color on the devRant web app. It's kinda hard to read for those of us who have joined the dark side on Linux (Dark GTK+ theme), at least on Firefox. :)

!rant
I opened devRant and closed it immediately. This is what happened.
Is this related to the Android system or to the devRant app?
17 -
I want to share with the DevRant community that after a lot of work; today my first IOS app was accepted and published on the App Store.
What a historic day!9 -
!rant
Just wanted to congratulate @JS96 on devRant V2 UWP app. Can tell he put blood and sweat into this app and it sure as hell has paid off.
Thank you.
5 -
- Release the stable v2 of devRant unofficial UWP
- Work on a new app
- Improve everyday and never give up1 -
OKAY FUCK OFF APP I JUST WROTE A LONG AF STORY AND THE DEVRANT APP WENT AND CRASHED
i guess i will write the story some other time then :).
8 -
What if devRant made this app just to see how to improve their own company without looking like shit?1
-
Please fix this @dfox :<
When opening devRant after having my phone locked for awhile, the app freezes for 30-180 sec. It usually recovers, but not always. It's painful 🙁
17 -
A lot of people seeing the devRant app on my phone:
What's that?
I always answer:
A safe place for developer ;)
What are your one sentence descriptions for this awesome app? ;)15 -
*Open devRant on my phone
*Scrolling, laughing, do things.
*Enough devRant now, close the app
*Open devRant on my laptop
Me: What am I doing here ! -
I just saw an article on Fossbytes about devrant! Great to see it get recognition!
http://fossbytes.com/devrant-app-fo...6 -
This is my implementation of devRant Android app. Currently, it can only display rants feed, search functionality and display profile. You are free to modify at as you like https://github.com/themohammeda/...
7 -
i'm happy to share with you, skyRant, a devRant client is now available in the playstore.
the real devRant app may have been removed from app stores. But devRant will never die!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...16 -
After a year of lurking on devRant I'm giving it the support it deserves.
- Awesome design
- Awesome community
- Awesome app
Thanks you devRant9 -
Is this seriously the devRant website? It has an advertisement for the mobile app that takes up 60% of the screen?!?!
20 -
!rant #meta: I registered just yesterday and woke up this morning with 44 notifications, which is great because this community is obviously refreshingly active, plus I really love getting notifications. Nevertheless, is it really necessary to create an individual notification for EVERY SINGLE +1?! Dear devRant devs, I love what you're doing. But please, PLEASE, merge/group these notifications into just a few. I don't want to go through every single one of these, it's just cluttering my notification list. I always just clear the list and then use the in-app bell symbol to navigate to whatever item I'm interested in. I can't be the only one.4
-
Hello devRant. I finally joined after lurking for a few days on the app. This community already feels awesome 🙌4
-
Does anybody else's devRant flash open the closed then open again when they press the app icon on Android?11
-
Number of times I opened devRant app today: at least 15 times an hour starting from 8am, so ~150.
Number of li(n)es of code I produced today: <= 40
devRant wins. FINISH HIM !!!5 -
Just got the (unofficial) devRant app for my Mac. https://github.com/Meadowcottage/... feeling satisfied. 😬4
-
Planned to watch YouTube and read devRant.
well apparently not because the devRant Android app doesn't support split screen.3 -
You know the app is good when you get a new phone and install devrant before whatsapp. Devrant even auto correct to decent lol.
Fyi: galaxy s8+ rocks -
My first Android app which is clone of devRant. I hope the read only API available on github is not illegal!
4 -
Got my tonsils out today and really started to notice that the devRant app is better than the Reddit app.7
-
devRant app should be Open Source for us to help in the development
I think A LOT of us would try to bring ideas and improvements to the app and service overall :)11 -
Just want to give a kudos to the dev’s who built this app - devRant. This app never fails to lighten me up after a stressful day at work. The best thing about this app which I like the most is the load time for the app. It has an amazing load time when you start the app. Period. Will soon become a supporter. Good job guys! P.S. check the tags on this post :)
-
I think the report rant function should have a verification function. Like asking me if I'm sure I want to report this rant.
I just reported a rant I didn't mean to, because I wanted to mute notifications on it3 -
Trying out the Windows 10 version of devRant. I had to get the Windows Store back on my system as I got rid of the Windows App the came with upgade but, once I figured how to add it back, I got devRant and it looks great!1
-
Hey ranters, I made an RSS feed reader for devRant feeds. Open up your favorite RSS reader app on your device and add http://devrant-rss.herokuapp.com/ for devRant feeds to be shown up. The project is open sourced at https://github.com/varundey/.... Any suggestions welcome :)3
-
I scroll devRant more often than any other app now. Such fascinating tragedies and lol-worthy rants in here. I'm pretty sure I've shred tears using this app.2
-
It would be great if devRant app maintains its state when the app was closed and takes me directly to the last rant I was watching when I reopen , instead taking to the latest post...2
-
Come on devRant! I’m getting really annoyed when clicking on rant that has [read more] at the end since it is a gamble to kill this iOS app you have made. Every ~5th click I get app terminated. Then after I reenter the app, I lost where I was. Thats why I ++ all the rants I have read, even those who don’t deserve it :), so I can scroll quickly and see which are not ++’ed.3
-
Is it just my phone or does the gif never play correctly on the first cycle on devrant Android app.....?4
-
Heiloo people!
I had this app on my device for a while now.. it's only now I explored what this is all about! It's AMA-IZ-ING :D4 -
Just ranting cause the devRant iOS app keeps crashing randomly when I open rants at times, after crash same rant opens fine.
A lot of “rant” on that sentence.28 -
How did I not know there was a devrant website. Literally thought it was only an Android/iPhone app.3
-
Love the new web app for devRant!
Would love to see it as a PWA in the future but it's currently an amazing web app, well done guys! -
Happened to know this devRant app from a friend. And these community of developers are lit ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ4
-
iPhone XSMax running iOS 14. Otherwise running normally.
DevRant app runs like old people fuck.
Is it just me?
Troubleshooting tips?
What’s this app written in? Is there a DevRant API? I’ll write my own DevRant app with blackjack and hookers.15 -
Did you notice that the scrollbar in the devrant (android) app changes size depending on the lenght/number of posts/comments you can see at the moment? Just scroll down in the posts list and see the scroll bar crawl like a caterpillar 😮1
-
Made my own "devRant" ("inspired hehe") Android app/socialmedia^^
(still in BETA) Not targeting a specific area though. http://stardash.de:4000/
And no not a devRant replacement cuzz its not soo much dev Related :)
Layout has no similarities aT aLl :D
App can only be downloaded on my website cuzz im not 18 yet so i cant publish to the playstore (and also i kinda dislike Google and using anything Google connected in a app e.g. Firebase)
There is a build in update center in the app though.
Server:
My Pc (Linux)
Nodejs with Express
Mysql
App:
Android Studio mostly with Retrofit

Why do I close devRant on my laptop browser, then proceed to open the devRant app on my phone as if I'm gonna see different content?12
-
In places devRant Android App needs to clear activity stack... We see extra screens when we hit back, for example, when we modifiy a rant or a comment, we see the older one as well which is redundant.2
-
Found a bug on dev iOS devRant app
It happens when you are switching between view controllers using the tab bar
9 -
The new devRant UI is pretty cool and also love the new features in the app.
Good job dfox and trogus.18 -
A quick suggestion, @devRant app should implement an implicit intent so we can share directly to it.5
-
Me: Ok lets make a simple chrome app wrapper for devRant just for the hell of it... Oh i really don't like how there is a split line between the title bar and window content...
*2 Days later"
Me: Fuck it! Let's build a title bar library and allow for devRant theming options...
Why must I do this to myself... -
Why install a native app to use devrant on a mobile phone? Your website is not totally broken in a mobile browser. Responsive web is possible in 2020, believe me and give it a try!12
-
After the last update, devRant has been a bit buggy for me..
App lock screen freezes for a few seconds and after that nothing works until I restart the app... :/
Single touch on home button opens up Google Assistant when devRant is unresponsive:

After using Devrant for some time.
me: (closes devrant)"lets do something else."
Swipes through the app menu and opens devrant again. 😑 -
FML. I JUST realized devRant can push notifications. I don't have to open the app every ten minutes now. 🤖1
-
So apparently I can make a new rant from the Web. Hey guys.... Is there an API for this? If so I think I sense an official devRant Python App :P4
-
Devrant iOS app removed from my region's App Store for some reason. Can use the web app but cannot use iOS app. That is kinda unfair. It was there before. :(
What better place to rant about it than at devrant xD9 -
Would anyone else like to see a landscape view in the DevRant app, especially when when viewing image attachment in full screen?
-
@dfox. Please make links to devRant open in the app.
For example: https://www.devrant.io/rants/243831
^opens in web browser6 -
The iOS DevRant app is so bad, sometimes it just crashes when I try to open a rant... wth DevRant how can you fuck this up so badly?
I submitted to the bug reporter many times and they don’t do much...7 -
Due to recent hiccups that devRant has, disappearing subs from users and app from stores, I wanted to divulge all that has accumulated in me to replace it. I want to see if y'all have some bright thoughts before this imaginary train makes it to the last station.
https://techhub.social/@vintprox/...2 -
Hmm weird, my devrant app stops working it I attach an image?
(Yes, devrant does have permission to access my storage)5 -

Devrant for Windows
Hey guys.
How many Devrant programs are for windows? and which one you think is the best?
I saw 4 so far...
https://devrantron.firebaseapp.com/
https://microsoft.com/en-us/p/...
https://softpedia.com/get/Internet/...
https://mspoweruser.com/devfeed-bet...
https://topwindata.com/windowsapps/...
PS.: Moved back to windows, sorry guys. Linux just doesn't have some specific software that a windows user expects... And I still have my VMs with Ubuntu.8 -
Just realized that touching the title "Rant" reloads a given rant. Been hitting the refresh button4
-
You know you are a frequent DevRant app user when you try to click ++ / double click the image posted by DevRant on Twitter1

Is there any good and stable devRant command line app? I have everything but that to complete my setup.6
-
Well, I really like the new devRant app design BUT damn ... I can't stop swiping from left to right ...
-
Devrant app getting really slow in terms of loading. Content opens after 3 - 4 trials of restarting the app. Otherwise just connectivity issue or blank screen(with no loading). Anyone else facing it?13
-
It'd be nice if devRant app had an art gallery tab, showcasing devRant store items from various ranters, our workplace setup, workplace companions and other dev kits.
-
From mobile dev to mobile dev. I'm really digging the smooth transitions in the double filter in the app @devRant.
Smooooooth
-
What's with this scroll bar? I like the changing size of the bar as it scrolls faster, is there a name for this type of scroll animation?
12 -
Hey devRant team, I saw the new designs and they are awesome. Actually I just started learning Android App Development and I was curious what stack do you guys use for devRant Android App. And while we are on this can you guys share the stack you use for IOS app and Web app. Thank you and by the way you've done a really good job with android app.6
-
Complaining about your colleagues on devRant but ending up showing them the app anyway cuz it's so damn awesome..
-
Is it just me or is devrant resetting its views on android as soon as you leave the app?
Basically if you switch app and then back to devrant, youll see the home loading rants, instead of returning to the state you were in before. -
Is someone else experiencing problems connecting to the App Store when trying to purchase devrant++? I look forward to supporting you!
5 -
So the avatars of people never load in my devRant app. Except for the user profile screen. Post and comment screens just show Colors circlez. I’m curious. (Yeah my app is updated to latest version)5
-
I was writing a random rant about something that happened to me this morning, and the app decide to crash a second before I could post it.
I get it devRant, my stories aren't interesting, but you could at least have crash at the beginning and not after I have already spent half an hour writing the story :( -
The feeling when you find an attempt for an unofficial devRant app in your favorite framework...
*jumps* ^^ -
What drop shadow did DevRant use for their UWP app, Microsoft recently released blog theme shadow, but it's work well with the rounded elements. I guess DevRant use different technique.1
-
Does anybody feel that the notifications are broken in the Android devRant app?
It works fine on my iPad.4 -
The greatest thing I ever do when work is pending from DevOps Teams, opening devRant app. Ever did the same?
#MyDaySucks -
Just wondering if anyone is noticing high battery drain since installing devRant Android app?
I've lost over 50% battery this morning and it's showing high use by this app.
22 -
Tell me please, how to use devRant as desktop-website with my tablet. How can I avoid the app? Dont like to install it on every device ...9
-
I really regret that I can't share picture ranters post on this app (to other app, or save in the phone)2
-
Dear devs,
could you introduce categories for the collabs as through the ++ thing they are going to explode 😅1 -

Every heard of PWA's?
Not just devRant btw4 -

Anyone else unable to download the devrant app? iOS Germany btw, it's not in the app store anymore12
-
How come devRant app don't have a gif keyboard support or even a decent gif selector like most of the messaging app.
Apart from that this app is so basic that it feels like a script kiddo made it for college project.14 -
DEVRANT FEATURE REQUEST
@dfox It would be a real time saver if DevRant app remembers the rant I was reading and saving me a time to scroll down to the last rant. :)3 -
Am I the only who's having trouble with the devRant app. Before anyone says to me to send an email about the bugs I've been having, I already did.
I don't know why but sense the last update I'm just finding bug after bug. Is anyone having problem with the app or is it just me?4 -
Hey everyone!
I'm thinking of building an open-source React Native app for DevRant just as a fun project. I came across an unofficial API documentation and also a wrapper.
https://devrant-docs.github.io/
https://github.com/danillouz/...
If anyone has used these, kindly let me know your experience and which one is better.
PS: I have no intention to publish or earn money from this project. Anyone who is interested can jump into the project and help in making it better. If enough people want to use it, I can compile an apk/ipa for people to download later on. -
Why the hack does the devRant app on iOS crashes nearly every time I want to open the notifications or a rant? The app does this since weeks now. This is very annoying!6
-
I am receiving notifications from devrant but when i open the app its giving connection error
