And I especially appreciate that you chose the "harder" native app approach instead of going the simpler route of creating yet another webapp wrapper.
Mlem for Lemmy
Official community for Mlem, a free and open-source iOS Lemmy client.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
FAQ
- When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
- Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
- How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
- How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.
Your battery life will appreciate it as well
I love the app itself and appreciate everything everyone is doing for it! I wish I knew how to code! Maybe it’s time to learn….
Why not? I do not work in tech, but knowing python and the Linux command line has helped me immeasurably with my work. And now with chatgpt it can do most of the word for me and I just tweak the code it gives me to fit my needs.
Where can we donate? Apologies if this answer is clear somewhere.
First off, thank you very much for considering supporting me! ❤️
There are a couple options:
just donated. keep up the good work
You're the best, thank you! I hope I will be able to fulfill your expectations :)
I can't do monthly as I got laid off, but I have a bit of money right now I can donate. Is there a way to give a single lump sum?
In the first link you can just do a tip of whatever amount. It’s this one:
I just did. Even has Apple pay etc which made it one click.
Done. Cheers.
Agreed, if I knew how to code anything in more than Python I would be offering to help you out!
The way I can best help out is by being active on the platform. Sadly my coding skills are basically just super small scrips to automate a task.
Really like the app, can it be used with something like kbin.social?
Unfortunately not, I tried it and kbin has some weird site-specific customizations, so Mlem can’t connect to it. I even had to put in some extra code just to make replying to kbin posts work
That’s a shame! Hopeful we’ll see something in the future. Regardless, thank you for the app
This is such a bummer. Could devs from kbin address this? It’s not great.
+1 from me; amazing app already and I can't wait for it to mature.
Seconded! The ux in mlem is great already, and it's basically feature complete for my needs so far! Great work, team!
Do message replies work for you? I have to use the web app to see messages.
This app has been amazing already! So glad I stumbled upon it.
+1, just installed the beta; though rough around the edges, I like the potential and the platform native feel, very Apollo-y, which is a huge compliment!!
I'm an Android user but I used Apollo for a significant amount of years, I hope Apollo (and Sync for Reddit plus many other Reddit clients for Android and iOS) can make a comeback... Wether it is for Reddit or this site.
I’ve used infinity for Reddit, but I prefer iOS so I really just used Apollo.
Apollo was a great app and it would be great to see the devs next project.
But, I am excited to see what the devs of mlem can do. So far things are off to a good start.
I typically use it for casual browsing, but due to some features that are still being implemented, I’m on the mobile browser for the most part.
