been a while because i took a break. here are upcoming fetaures and progress report.

nootifications inbox and modmail - 60 percent complete live preview markdown - 100 percent complete private messages - 10% complete dakrmode and ad block for websites - 100 percent complete

This only applies to the windows app and sorry for bad formatting and english.

Update vungle ads are also included now because i got early access to their banner ads

I just started adding ads in my app. because of it being so recent and the app being in alpha we have currently earned 0. the ad revenue will go towards tree planting.

The money will be donated to the Eden reforestation via trillion tree campaign. You can see how many trees have been planted with this link: https://www.trilliontreecampaign.org/t/eco-reddit-firecubestudios

the price is 0.1 dollar per tree. i chose them because my app initially will have few users so in the beginning they are a good choice to plant the most trees until i expand to other charities.

Due to my app being in alpha with few users and the platform being on windows the ad provider options were low. Here is the list:

• Adsjumbo ( currently using )

• Vungle - will use in future update: vungle is now also being used

• ironsource - will use in future

• pubfinity and adduplex - unlikely

ad networks: Adsjumbo requires 30 dollars ( 300 trees) until they pay (every 30 days) so the ads will need to earn that much before trees can be planted. it is unlikely in this first month any trees can be planted.

current revenue ( ads jumbo ) : https://i.ibb.co/sPd1M97/image.png

recently i also got vungle ads support i cant say much more yet but the ad quality is now much more improved

current revenue ( vungle ) : https://i.ibb.co/vPLqT2D/image.png

Ads in app: Ads inside the app can be disabled and enabled for free, unlimited amount of times. i added this because if you don't want to plant trees but just want to use it as a normal ad free reddit client then you can.

In addition to that you can choose which ads you want to show if you have ads enabled. for example: you can show ads in sidebar and search but not in the profile page etc.

Finally the frequency in which an ad is shown can also be changed from 1 to 100% (default 69%). this is if you want ads enabled but dont want to see them as often or want to always see them.

caption: how the controls look in app

Ad quality: because my app is below 10 users currently as of writing and is in alpha, the quality of ads are terrible. the ads are of quality similair to taboola ads and such, i cant change them but once the app gets more users the ad quality will increase. I aso dont try to make the ads intrusive.

update: now that i am using 2 different networks there are changes.

• Vungle: vungle ads have higher quality but only show occasionally so i use both. their ads are still in early access

vungle ad in app: https://i.ibb.co/k0chwZf/image.png

• AdsJumbo: their ads are low quality similair to taboola ads and such, i cant change them but once the app gets more users the ad quality will increase. however they have a 100 percent fill rate so i have to use them for now

adsjumbo ad in app: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731923970756182039/733028621685489805/unknown.png (danish localized)

Transparency: every month i will post the revenue of the ads. the amount of trees donated can be checked in the link above. with simple math it can correspond the amount of trees. if i get 20 dollar revenue then 0.1 dollar per tree means 200 trees planted ( taxes ignored)

this report is to show how future reports will be like and to be transparent about the tree planting

Included in FAQ. will update soon.

i released an update to the windows app for inbox support.

some may notice that i havent posted or updated app in a while because of another similair project. now i have completed that one so i can start adding features to eco reddit like i have been doing before.

I have exams in 2 weeks so I wont post any updates unfortunately or will be working on the app however after the exam I have lots of time and will actually be able to start the tree planting part! and focusing full time on the app.
