Here it is, our 1.0 RC.
There are just a couple more Apple requirements we need to meet to ship but expect no more major features till after AppStore.
NEW
Eric has been toiling from a secret remote location to refine the post layout and bring you some highly-requested customization options. Check out the settings to see what’s new!
Weston has been polishing the voiceover and dynamic text features and implemented the first version of blocking users (currently done via posts).
Mormaer has been tweaking the session authentication and refreshing… you shouldn’t be logged out without warning anymore. Be advised, due to these changes you will have to log in again upon first launch.
He also built a new account switcher that now lives in the settings screen (we are planning to revisit this soon, we aren’t huge fans of the new location either but we needed it out of the home screen).
Darknavi and Jo have been helping out with PR reviews, bug fixes and lots of behind the scenes ops stuff.
BUG FIXES
Lots of tiny stuff here, not gonna add them all, but mostly just spit and polish getting ready for the AppStore.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS
Thanks to tht7 for a ton of performance work. Thanks to Sjmarf for the PR improving the timestamp component.
WEBSITE
It’s super basic, but needed for Apple, https://mlem.group will be our landing going forward. Links to all the important stuff like community, chat and TestFlight should be there.
NEXT
For Apple we need to finish up some reporting entry points and get the about page updated to take care of license commitments. We are aiming to be under review my Friday, but that might change.
We want to thank everyone for participating in this TestFlight and providing feedback. We are still debating keeping it open after launch, watch this space for more info once we have it.
Thank you for your support. 🙏
EDIT: We are aware that you might have to sign in again with this update, but it should be the last time. It was necessary as part of the session fixes we put in. We apologize for this.
Test reply.
Despite some unexpected difficulties, Mlem has come a long way in a short period of time. Congrats to all!
I can’t save pics but I like this a lot more than Memmy aaaaa
We’re working on it–it’s been a bit slow because saving pictures and a detail image viewer is very closely tied to how we handle images, which we’ve been playing around with a lot to get the feed to scroll more smoothly. Picture saving and detail viewing should be out in the next major build.
Please make the image viewer behave like the native iOS behavior. Swipe down to close etc.
I like them both a lot but mlem doesn’t seem to have a way to show larger images in the feed, unless I’m missing something. The issue with this is that there are a lot of image posts that I wouldn’t have otherwise opened because I can’t see what the image is clearly.
We’re working on a shiny image viewer–it’s been slow because it’s tightly bound to our image handling, which we’ve been tinkering with a lot to make the feed nice and smooth. It’s slated for the next major update, though, so stay tuned!
Aww yeah. Let’s go!
Congrats team. Y’all have come super far in a month.
Great work congrats!
