so excited for this one. loving it already; the onboarding is beautiful with the suggested communities. curious if you will add swipe to go forward at some point?

I would absolutely love to implement swipe to go forward, it was one of my favorite features. Iāve tried to search how one would implement that, but so far I havenāt 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!

Just curious, what are you building this with? SwiftUI/UIKit or something entirely different?
gromdroid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
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 youāre interested (:
fer0n@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
Thatās actually pretty impressive, I had the feeling it wasnāt swiftUI or UIKit due to kinds of bugs that Iāve come across, but the general feel and look is perfect. Really well done :) Not sure if youāve answered this somewhere before (if so I couldnāt find it), have you considered making it open source? I know there are advantages and disadvantages to both so I understand the decision either way.

This app has the best gui out of all the lemmy apps Iāve tried. It is the closest to Apollo in terms of design and detail. Kudos.

Been a very happy voyager user for a minute, this might be the first contender to dethrone! Awesome work, show me some cute app icon options!!
fer0n@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Iāve always gone back to voyager sooner or later so far, but I like lemma a lot and itās probably gonna be my main app sooner or later. Itās mainly bugs that keep me from using it currently. But itās already gotten a lot better :)

So far Iāve been going back and forth between Voyager and Avelon. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one too.

Does this include "swipe between posts"?
mingistech@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Iād love to see the implementation of icon choices. This is a truly beautiful app but that icon is a hard sell.
Zak8022@artemis.camp · 3 pts · 2y
This has the best gif/video viewer of the Lemmy apps Iāve tested. I like compact mode, and being able to open the video with one tap, and have it in the native viewer with sliding fast forward & reverse is awesome! Great work!
One small tip/bug⦠after switching accounts, you it doesnāt appear to be reloading the Home feed for the new user. So I see the Home list of posts of the user I just switched away from.

Wow! The first impression: Welcome to the Fediverse, Apollo!
This is such a beauty! š
fer0n@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Hereās some things Iāve been noticing (Iām on iOS 17, so might be related to that):
mint@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
iām seeing the ājump to next commentā button stuck in the top status bar area as well on iOS 16.6
micha@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 2y
Very interesting. Will keep this along together with Avelon. Can you tell a bit more about how itās been written? Swift or React Native etc.? Thank you for the public beta.
gromdroid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Itās written in React Native, with some Swift modules here and there. I wrote down some more in depth behind the scenes in a previous post.
