It's been amazing to see all the fresh apps popping up for Lemmy! I've been having a blast making my own app and learning iOS development.
I’ve just released Lunar for Lemmy version 0.5.0.
Check out the post image for a TLDR on what’s released with screenshots.
It's still not available on TestFlight yet unfortunately, there are still a few essential features I would like to add before releasing:
- [ ] Click on URL attached to the post opens the link in an in-app browser/external browser
- [ ] Collapsable and expandable comments
- [ ] Collapsed by default post body
- [ ] Functional upvote and downvote buttons
- [ ] Search communities
- [ ] Navigate to communities from posts view
- [ ] Markdown formatted post body and comments
- [ ] Upvotes and downvotes in comments
- [ ] Subscribe button inside community info view
- [ ] Subscriptions when logged in.
- [ ] Subscribed communities posts page
Once these have been added, it will be released for TestFlight. (Hopefully by the end of the month) Follow the progress on the board here: https://github.com/users/mani-sh-reddy/projects/3
If you're curious and want to take a peek, you can run a preview on your iPhone using a Mac and Xcode. The instructions are in the GitHub repository, so feel free to give it a try and share your thoughts.
As always, I welcome contributions. If you would like to contribute, please get in touch/create a PR. I am still very new to iOS development so any help is appreciated.
