In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I've submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.

I'd anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it's possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I've had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there's a chance it will happen today. I'll update you all when that happens.

Improvements and additions:

New icon and options for changing icon color
New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
Performance enhancments throughout the app
Hide read posts
Images in comments
Collapsible posts
Default comment sort
All of the "Top" sort options
Show a loading modal while downloading images
Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
Add option for reader in webview
Settings improvements
Added embark theme
Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
Adjustments to splashscreen
Username doesn't link to user profile in compact mode now
Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser

Fixes:

Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
Fix cake day showing the wrong year
Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
Read icon now uses the correct color
Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end

If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

Memmy has a perfect 5.0 rating on the App Store. Well done!

I am in absolute awe of this app, tysm

[-] marcar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You have done amazing! Honestly the speed at which you release is phenomenal and pretty intimidating for someone who works in software, it sets a new benchmark in my opinion.

One thing that would be handy is the ability to share to Memmy from other apps via the share sheet

The ability to follow topics via a saved search or similar would also be handy.

Also the ability to bookmark a community but not have it appear in my feed would also be useful

Just feedback, overall this is such a polished app, I’m super impressed

btw setting up microsoft appcenter codepush is really quick and you can avoid slow update turn around.

I've been releasing my react native apps for years instantly to beta and alpha in-app update channels. Testflight is slow, the app store is slow, codepush is fast af.

Sent you a DM about this

I do like the new swipe animations but I find it’s much harder now to swipe from the left edge to go back to the community view, without accidentally activating the voting swipe on whatever comment happens to be where I’m swiping.

Thank you for the non-Test Flight update! Just installed the app today and really love the browsing UI and functionality.

My only issue so far has been with voting on comments, there is seemingly no way to vote on a comment without swiping (context menu has no option, tapping comment score just hides comment), and the swiping seems to upvote/downvote at random with no relation to the strength/size of the swipe. I see that is updated in 0.1 so looking forward to it.

If you are supposed to be able to tap the comment vote score to upvote/downvote like in the webapp, it does not seem to work at the moment. iPhone 14/iOS 16.5.1

There is on latest update

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Buttons are added in this update 🎉

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Is there a way to get the community icon to show up in the main page instead of the planet? Can’t wait for the AppStore version to come out!

[-] tylerthehuman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

too many line breaks. viewing a thread like this one, everything has a line break between it. too crowded. also, the swipe buttons have a black outline to it. shouldn't it just be a solid color?

[-] metanomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would love to see few features:

Ability to filter/block a community directly from feed, without having to go to that community.

A keyword filter list that hides post with those words in their title.

Ability to hide posts from feed.

Keep up the great work!

Is there currently no way to save an image from a post? Like an add to photos button when viewing a pic?

Or am I just really missing it?

I must say, I’m using the TestFlight build and the app is as smooth as ever. Night and day difference from the version of like a week ago.

Thank you for all your hard work I can’t wait to see what you do with the app moving forward

[-] p0tat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

OP doing lord’s work right there

[-] Sinnz@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Everything feels so smooth now. Great work!

[-] DreadTowel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Question about the in-app browser. Many other apps use it and I've always been wondering: does it save cookies and sessions or is it just a minimal thing that just opens the page temporarily with safari, without persitent storage?

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome update notes! Literally refreshing the App Store hourly for this!

[-] anon_water@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Love it 😍

[-] creamatine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fantastic launch! Looking forward to following the development

[-] Theoldwarrior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Swipe to dissmiss on pictures have issue now after last update Before it was so smooth and fast

[-] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is there any way to stop having memmy ask me every time I save a photo if I want to keep selected photos or access all photos? Not sure why it’s asking me this to save a photo but there’s no way to back out of the option unless I either click “keep selected and then deselect the photo that I just saved and then click done.
