Thank you for the positive feedback! ๐Ÿ™

One thing Iโ€™ve been missing in Mlem (the app Iโ€™ve settled on for now) is the fact that comments and posts only show the sum of up/downvotes rather than displaying them individually.

I can certainly explore making individual upvote/downvote numbers visible. Not shown in these screenshots, but there is also an additional context menu (long-press a post or comment) which reveals these stats. But I will make a note to explore making this user configurable from the feed / post views ๐Ÿ‘

Also, is the app free/open source? You mentioned a private GitHub repo in a different comment, but do you plan to open it up when you feel confident in the code?

I'm a bit on the fence here. I am a solo developer working on this in my free time, after work and on weekends. My dream has always been to work on my own apps full time similar to Christian Selig did with Apollo for reddit. The app will be free, but may have a "premium" tier for extra functionality. I haven't decided if I want to open-source or not, but currently it is closed.

I will say that I'm an Admin on the lemm.ee lemmy instance, so I have a vested interest in both upholding my personal reputation, and in making Lemmy the best experience it can be (hopefully via Lemon!) but I completely understand and respect anyone who dislikes or distrusts close sourced software. That's a completely fair and valid stance to have.

im worried about Mozillas ability to keep growing Firefox. They laid off a lot of their firefox team a few years ago and have been dipping into more commercial interests.. we really need Mozilla to be the FOSS counter to big tech.

I think JavaScript is a great first language. Easy to pick up, but lots of potential (frontend/backend/native). A lot of people dislike JavaScript (some valid reasons, some not) but it's undeniably a great first language.

I wondered if folks were still using Hey. I use the iOS app Spark for managing my email, it has a similar "allow list" for new senders. Agreed it's super helpful.
