Can you swipe right or left to go through each post? I haven’t found a Lemmy app that does that yet.
Looks good. But when scrolling the navbar and topbar disappears
Cool app so far. Would it be possible to hide nsfw in search when the option for “hide everywhere” is enabled?
One thing I just saw. When I posted a comment it didn’t show up on the post until I manually refreshed. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not.
Edit: it was a reply to a comment. A comment on an article showed up right away.
This looks like an exact copy of Voyager. What’s different about it?
Which is basically an exact copy of Apollo.
Big difference appear to be that this looks like it’s proper native, not fancy web app.
The core of the App Store of the same Ionic app code that you can also load in Safari. It’s basically just in a wrapper that allows it to be posted in the App Store, and soon, allows it to get notifications.
The core or the app isn’t proper native. Nothing wrong with that. There are big benefits to that, but there are some issues with ionic that this developer won’t have with swift. Example: Swipe based navigation is notoriously buggy with voyager.
Right, but it’s claimed to be a “from the ground up” build, where it’s an almost exact carbon copy. At least Voyager claimed to be trying to clone Apollo.
It can still be built from the ground up but still uses the same design. If it’s a native app written in Swift not a PWA like Voyager I’d say that from the ground up still applies. Because you still need to code everything from scratch.
OP is just saying that it’s not a fork of an existing codebase. It’s all new code.
But yeah, the UX is a shameless Apollo clone.
Although Mlem, Avelon, Lemmios, and Memmy are all a little shameless about ripping off various Apollo patterns. A lot of the iOS Lemmy developers aren’t taking the time to think about what lemmy-specific UX problems need to be solved. All the iOS lemmy apps are feeling like Gru’s Minons. All super similar, but with slight variations.
