Screenshots
Here's some cool app store screenshots of the app:
Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I've had,
and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way.
Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and
providing suggestions and feedback.
I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I'm looking forward
to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!
Good question! I'm still gonna use testflight before release, so if you wanna see what's coming earlier and are comfortable with a few more bugs then just keep using testflight.
The testflight version is temporarily outdated just now cause I had to focus on getting the release ready. This won't be the case in a couple days or so
Just an observation coming from voyager and previously from Apollo.. there is something up with the touch spot for comments. I have never had problems with other clients but for whatever reason I always manage to miss hit the comments link and click on the group instead. Other than that it feels like this is my new Lemmy client
Edit: it only seems to be for long group names where the group name text is directly above the comments link
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, you can tap anywhere on the post except links/usernames etc to open it. Mind sending a screenshot or something?
The red dot at the bottom is where I would normally tap to see the comments. Muscle memory has me tap there from years of using these apps. I am not sure if there are other places to tap, but that is where I tap. 9/10 if I tap that red place I will end up accidentally getting confidentially_incorrect rather than comments
The phone app is basically perfect. Not sure how I feel about how the iPad version looks in landscape mode. Maybe if the gray area to the left & right was BLACK, it would work?
Thank you! I wanna do more custom icons, but I'm not that good at graphics design. If people wanna create some icons I'm definitely down for adding a community pack tho.
Avelon is designed for phones first, so the iPad one isn't on par yet. Wanna do split layouts etc at some point, but I figured basic iPad support is better than none.
Visually great. One thing I could not see was the ability to block communities or users for ALL browsing. This has been valuable to filter out bot users just reposting reddit content and also communities that I am not interested in (nsfw that still manages to come through or communities in a language I do not understand).
