๐ Introducing Commenting Feature! ๐
Iโm thrilled to present the latest update to Lemma that brings an exciting new feature to your fingertips - commenting! Iโve been hard at work, and now itโs time for you to be a part of our testing phase.
โ๏ธ Markdown Editor: Say goodbye to plain text comments. With the sleek new markdown editor, your comments will stand out like never before. Format your text with ease, add links, insert images, and even gifs โ all in a snap!
๐ฃ Engage with Your Community: Now, you can participate in discussions and share your thoughts directly within the app. Your feedback matters, and I canโt wait to hear what you have to say.
๐ Help Me Improve: I want your input! Test the commenting feature thoroughly, and let me know about any bugs, suggestions, or improvements youโd like to see. Together, we can make Lemma even better.
๐ฅ Connect with Others: Join the conversation, interact with fellow users, and build a sense of community within the app. Your comments can make a difference!
๐ฎ Upcoming: While weโre busy testing the markdown editor with the new comment feature, Iโve also started working on adding the ability to create posts. Iโm aiming to have it ready by the weekend, which I think will be the perfect time to invite everyone to join the public TestFlight as well!
Thank you for being a valuable part of the Lemma community. Your feedback helps Lemma grow and deliver an outstanding user experience. Letโs make this commenting feature shine together!
Edit after v0.0.4 release:
I typically only share these types of updates after they have been approved by Apple. However, I am making this post now to prevent people from mentioning bugs for which a fix is already on its way. Many thanks to those who were quick and helpful in catching some of these bugs!
Fixed/Added:
- You can now add images to comments again.
- In addition to swiping, I have also added the reply option to the comment menu.
- You can now also edit and delete comments.
- Comments now indicate if they have been edited.
- Swiping on compact posts will now also bring up the reply modal.
- Spoilers are now rendered correctly.
- An overview of private messages has been added to the inbox screen.
Fingers crossed โ you might see the update with fixes tomorrow! ๐
Looking forward to the public TestFlight.
Hi!
Commenting from Lemma! Iโm loving the app!
**However, I am still having issues with my subscription feed being empty (โNo postsโ) after closing the app. **
Only way to get my subscription feed back is to log out and then in again.
Sent a bug report about this some time ago in TestFlight.
IOS 17 (latest) iPhone XS
All the best,
Great to hear youโre enjoying Lemma so far! I indeed saw your bug report in TestFlight, but up until now I have not been able to replicate the issue.
After I implement the ability to create posts, I want to spend some time on improving error messages and general error logging. Thatโs should hopefully help me with finding out why your subscription feed is not working as intended.
I get that this doesnโt help you much in the short term, but hopefully you have a bit more patience so we can tackle this properly ๐
First!
Just received a TestFlight email for v0.0.5 but itโs not showing in the actual TestFlight app?
How do I get into the TestFlight if at all possible? Thanks!
At the moment, itโs a closed beta, so if you missed the signup, you wonโt be able to join the TestFlight yet, unfortunately. The good news is that Iโm planning to launch a public beta this upcoming weekend, and Iโll share a link where you can join when itโs ready!
