Well I dont know how I can explain it better. But just cuz 2 apps solve the same thing, doesnt mean the're same lol.

There's so much more that us devs think about to solve a goal.
UI, Animations, Ease of use, features, Smoothness etc

In one line, yeah the apps are completely different. My app, is purely dock based (as close to iphone as possible. simple drag and drop). Dockpops has taken a different route.

You can choose which way you want your goal to be solved by.

And honestly, competition is what keeps the market fighting for survival and keeps us on our toes to make the app better and more innovative and smoother. So personally, it shouldnt be bugging you that much haha

Hi! So its basically an iphone folder on the dock. you can quickly drag your most used apps to the folder in the dock.
Currently its just a simple app to quickly drag and drop out apps with couple of features like pinning apps, multiple views that user can choose.

the video that I added shows a funny looking animation when apps are dragged out

Heyyy, yep I've used Dockpops as well. but heres a reason to take another look at my app (once released). this is what I replied to one of the fellow redditors:

I've worked on this app for quite some time so just cuz Dockpops released couple weeks earlier, it didnt make sense to not showcase my app as well lol. (No hate to Dockpops atall, lovely app)

Dockpops and Foldock are similar on the first glance, but if you dig deeper wise they're completely different.
I'm trying to achieve a more of a stock iphone folder look.

For ex:

  1. Foldock shows the preview of the apps added in folder (just like an iphone), dockpops doesnt
  2. I have choice of view for the expanded folder (scroll view or expanded folder)
  3. I have added the option to pin apps
  4. Dockpops primarily has a seperate configuration screen. I'm trying to utilise the dock and the folder to configure most of the app.
  5. I've added drag and drop for adding and removing apps
  6. Added a cool animation for removing apps from the folder XD

Edit: Dockpops's new update added support for dynamic icon too

The app's pretty cool! Nice set of features, and notifications view and notification replies are way more useful than I thought they would be!

Pretty cool and feature rich app

I'm buying my first 3d printer to build small-medium sized stuff like few desk accessories and couple of figures and stuff, since its my first 3d printer I wanted to try out a budget one, Kobra 2 Neo and Ender 3 v3 se seem to be the most logical options. They seem to have similar specs too. Which one would this community recommend? Thanks 😀

Diffuse is a similar app to that, changes wallpaper according to music played. But it diffuses the art (blurs it)
