Best wishes and gratitude to David, and thank you for the update!
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.
As much as I think he could have handled the transition a little more gracefully, it's good to see an open source maintainer recognizing when they are no longer making their life better by working on a project.
So many open source devs burn themselves out by continuing to work on projects that no longer spark joy out of a sense of obligation.
This also should be a reminder to the community NOT to harass devs if a project is making choices you don't agree with. The reason most maintainers contribute to open source is the hope that people will like and use their software. Getting messages that indicate people don't like their work and won't use their software is the quickest way to kill someone's enthusiasm for their little corner of FOSS.
not just that, but demand customer support for something that was supposed to be a hobby
Also thank you to the Mlem team for such a prompt and clear message to the community. You guys rule.
Thanks for everything Dave! Wouldn’t have made the leap to Lemmy were it not for the app you’d been a part of.
Thanks for the hard work.
David, you’re a hero for creating such a great app, and you’re a hero for looking after your mental health. Thanks for bringing the app to where it is now.
Working on Mlem has been a real joy. Glad to see so many love it as much as us.
Can't wait to get builds rolling out again!
Keep up the good work and good luck to David and thank you for the amazing work you have done!
Only just got into Lemmy and I loved Apollo on Reddit so I can’t wait to see where this goes I wish you all the best
More words of gratitude to David and the rest of the team for their work. <3
Will new people be able to sign up to the TestFlight beta? Tried to get in on the previous one but I think it was full
As a matter of fact, everyone will have to sign up for the new TestFlight beta, as the previous one no longer exists.
Keep an eye out for the post announcing the new TestFlight beta, which will also be a new build with several big updates that we're excited to bring to the community!
I dunno about this, how new are these people? Babies are notoriously bad software testers.
You should probably make a post people using your app can read 😅
Does the new name mean you won’t ever add Kbin support?
