I'm thrilled to present yet another update packed with bug fixes, all made possible by the invaluable feedback from this incredible community. Your insights are incredibly helpful for fine-tuning and enhancing the overall user experience.

🎉 New Features:

  • Added text size options (WIP)
  • Added support for Lemmy v0.19 (WIP)
  • Added jump button for comments
  • Added the option to block users and communities
  • Added the option to show the corresponding instance behind community and user names
  • Added setting to manually switch between Light/Dark Mode
  • Added ‘Remember Community Sort’ setting
  • Added ‘Restore Default Swipe Actions’ setting
  • Long pressing the profile tab now opens the account switcher
  • Added ‘Select Text’ to both the post and comment menu’s
  • Added option to translate both posts and comments
  • Communities in the search screen now filters NSFW communities by default, unless the NSFW filter is turned on

🐛 Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where the ‘No Subscribed In All / Local’ settings would be applied to the ‘Subscribed’ feed as well
  • Fixed the issue where the ‘Show Username at Top’ setting would impact all places, instead of only posts
  • Fixed the issue where custom sorting in a feed would reset after the first page
  • Fixed the issue where selecting a custom sort for comments didn’t have any effect
  • Fixed the issue where the link of a post wouldn’t be shown if the posts also contains images
  • Fixed the issue where disabling the setting ‘Show Page Endings’ would result in a missing border before the first post of the next page
  • Fixed the issue where if you post a new comment, it would be marked as unread
  • Fixed the issue where the ‘Show All Comments’ bar would prevent you from seeing the highlighted comment
  • Fixed the issue where clicking media in compact post items wouldn’t open anything
  • Fixed the issue where scrolling to the top by tapping the statusbar wouldn’t automatically show the navigation bars again
  • Improved active state colors in light mode
  • Fixed the issue where a very quick swipe gesture wouldn’t register any action
  • Fixed the issue where left swipes on a comment item would sometimes interact with the wrong comment
  • Improved ‘Mark Read on Scroll’ logic which should cause less false positives
  • Fixed the issue where the bookmarks screen would keep loading if you didn’t have any bookmarks yet
  • Links to posts on other instances now properly resolve to posts on your home instance, meaning they can be opened within the app (WIP)

I’m excited to present a major overhaul of the app with a ton of new features and enhancements. This TestFlight version is your exclusive preview to explore and test everything that's changed.

As some of you may have noticed, this update took longer than expected. Hopefully, it was worth the wait, though! Behind the scenes a lot has changed, this also means that you have to login again and that all your previous settings are lost. I get that this is not ideal, but I figured it was the most stable way to do the update. This does of course give you the opportunity to have a look at all the new settings while you're at it 😉

🌟 What's New:

  • New Settings: Dive into a revamped settings menu with added options for a more personalized experience.
  • Customizations Galore: I’ve introduced a range of customization features. Test them out and make the app truly yours!
  • Improved Performance: Enjoy a smoother and faster experience as I've fine-tuned the app's performance to provide you with the best possible experience.
  • Fresh Icons: Say hello to new icons that add a touch of modernity and personalization to your app experience.

🕵️‍♂️ Your Mission:

Explore every nook and cranny! Test all the new settings and customization options. Your feedback is invaluable in ensuring a seamless user experience for everyone.

It is written in React Native, with some self made Swift modules here and there. I wrote some background info in a previous post if you’re interested (:

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I would absolutely love to implement swipe to go forward, it was one of my favorite features. I’ve tried to search how one would implement that, but so far I haven’t found anything useful sadly :(

If an iOS developer reads this and has suggestions on how this could be implemented, I would love to have a chat!

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm strange.. I waited with the announcement post until the new version (v0.0.5) got approved by Apple. But it seems that for most people v0.0.4 is the most recent version that they can download. Hopefully this will sort itself out in the coming days 🤞

The new version includes some bugfixes, like the cancel buttons not working, but also the ability to create / edit / delete posts

When Apollo shut down I really missed it in my day to day use, so initially this project started out as a personal project to see if I could replace that Apollo craving. Since then the development was going so well that I wanted to share it with the rest of the community as well.

Since then I’ve also build some things that imho are an improvement, for example:

  • the onboarding
  • the markdown editor
  • the chat interface for private messages

It’s been really fun to work on, but now that the basis is quite stable I’ll look into features that make it more tailored to Lemmy

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the feedback! Initially this started out as a personal project, so most of the UI is tailored to my personal preference.

I’ll have a look at supporting better accessibility with regards to text sizes

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:

The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅

I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

From what I understood the API for Kbin is still work in progress. That makes it quite a bit more difficult to create a third party client, which might explain the lack of third party Kbin clients

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe at some point, since it sounds like a really interesting challenge. But I gotta be honest that it’s quite low on the list

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

No, it’s a client specifically built for Lemmy

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It isn’t forked from any existing Lemmy client, I built it from the ground up myself. Took me a while to get it of the ground with enough features to make it usable in the day-to-day life, but I’m quite proud of the current state :D

The design has been greatly influenced by Apollo (like a lot of other Lemmy iOS apps), so there might of course be some similarities.

That form is indeed closed, but it was for the initial closed beta. As soon as Apple approves the newly uploaded version I will make it a public beta and share the link so that anybody can join.

I’m hoping that happens today, so stay tuned :D

 

Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to announce Lemma, yet another Lemmy client for iOS!

As a longtime fan of Christian's work with Apollo, like many others in the Lemmy community, I embarked on developing Lemma when Apollo closed its doors. My goal was to create a native feeling iOS experience that captured the essence of Lemmy.

What began as a personal project to challenge my technical skills has now evolved into something remarkable. I'm delighted to share Lemma with the world, even though it's still in its beta phase. I'm continuously working on adding more features every day. At the moment, the focus is on optimizing the viewing experience and discovering new communities. Soon, I'll be incorporating features like submitting new posts and responding to existing posts and comments.

Key Features:

  • Super-Charged Media Viewer
    • From videos and GIFs to (Imgur) albums, Lemma supports it all.
    • Lemma goes the extra mile by parsing the body of posts to find even more media than most other apps. For example, it can collect all images inside a markdown post, displaying them in a neat image album overview.
  • Powerful Search
    • Lemma seamlessly integrates with Lemmyverse.net, making it easier than ever to discover new communities.
  • Fully Customizable
    • Personalize your experience with 16 themes (both dark and light mode), 6 comment color themes, and a compact post viewing mode.
  • Swipe Gestures
    • Upvoting, downvoting, or saving a post? With Lemma, it's just a swipe away.
  • Share as Image
    • Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words.
  • Safari Extension
    • Effortlessly open Lemmy content in Lemma using the built-in Safari Extension.
  • Cross-Post Support
    • Stay updated with cross-posts in your feed.
  • Multiple Accounts

TestFlight

In the coming days, I'll be launching Lemma on TestFlight for a closed beta. If you'd like to be part of Lemma's development, sign up using the form below:
