Liftoff! - 🐒 A mobile client for Lemmy (Android/iOS/Windows/Linux)

You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, "liftoff" pertaining to software.

Not in fdroid for some reason

Looks like this is a combination of lemmynade and limbo? Which were both forks of Lemmur.

https://lemmy.world/c/liftoff

And it's in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/liftoff-bin

Screenshots? What makes it special? Is it CPU/memory efficient?

When you land on their GitHub repo you have nothing describing the project, only build instructions.

Looks promising! Is it on FDroid?

Feels smooth. I wish there was an option to hide the bottom bar and to reduce the font size a bit. For now I'll keep using Jerboa, but waiting for it to be less "sluggish" while scrolling.

I've tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so I'm not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.

So I am using it right now but my main issue is that it keeps repeating the same posts over and over on my all feed. I thought it was scrolling back to the top every time I backed out of a post but no it was just another dupe.

Yay more options

Cool! I'll download it and add it to lemmy app folder :)

Looks good!

You might want to add it to the lemmy readme (or maybe we need a "awesome lemmy" repo with a list of lemmy software and resources?)

I made a bunch of feature requests to lemmy (stuff like reddit enhancement suite features) and most notably the ability for a user to block an instance, would it be ok if i will copy paste them to your issue tracker?

alt and the left key should move to the previous page like in web browsers on linux.

Loving the app so far. There are bugs but its definitely the most mature and has the best UI/UX out of the apps I've tried.

Just tried it (writing this comment from it). Generally, it feels a lot more polished and nicer looking than Jerboa, but, if you set the feed to Subsciber, nothing happens, it just loads a blank page.

Other than this, it feels a lot better than Jerboa. So I would use it, but the Subscribed feed is broken, so that's a deal breaker for me currently.

Looks ugly, but buttery smooth.

So I love it so far, but when switching to the true black AMOLED setting, a lot of the buttons stay that gray color. Not sure if intended or missed.

So my instance has updated to 0.18 and Enabled TOTP support - I have enabled it as I want to ensure my accounts are as secure as possible. the problem, no apps support it yet.

I plan to install every app for Lemmy in order to find a good experience on Lemmy. So I have installed it, but I won't be able to use it untill it supports entering TOTP tokens.

Do you plan to add support for this?

Edit: not sure why this was downvoted. I know some people are having issues with the implementation TOTP in Lemmy - I nearly did, in fact the code didn't show up in my authenticator app until I accidentally added it twice. (Then I removed the identical second code) But the fact the implementation needs work doesn't mean it shouldn't be supported - next point release should be fixing some or all of these things, so isn't it a good idea to be prepared for that? Also I've seen a pull request in Jerboa's github that adds preliminary support for it as well - but the Devs are bogged down with requests for Lemmy and Jerboa, so I'm not expecting it to make it through in the next week, no matter how much of a priority it is.

Now I know this app is open source and run by people out of the goodness of their heart too. And I will patiently wait for the time when it's added - if not work out a preliminary way to add it and submit a pull request. But my expertise isn't in interface and app design and therefore if I do find the time to do it, the implementation will be crude at best - I know next to none of the conventions specific to app development, having only used LibGDX, which is a game dev toolkit similar to XNA for modern android.

Will def check out when it hits iOS AppStore or TestFlight.

Using Liftoff right now. Looking good so far.

I love to see a new Dart / Flutter project take off!

Will it be on f-Droid ?

Can't login, it says my password is incorrect

Edit: before someone tells me to put in my correct password, I use copy&paste from a password manager

Any intention providing are TestFlight link for iOS testing?

Slightly smaller font would be nice. Opening links in the default browser would be great too.

Looks great so far though.

I thought one account in any instance is enough and thats how lemmy works. Why do I have to sign up on all these individual instances to comment?

I don’t understand how you’re supposed to run this on iPhone

Flutter moment, based

Using it to type this comment. Looks great and can see the potential.

One thing, when typing comments, can we have shortcuts to do links/quotes etc. Unless you know the markdown syntax you are stuck.

All in all. Good stuff

Auto refresh or a refresh button in desktop version?

I think this whole situation is going to cause a GPLv4. I hope it does so that this shit can't be pulled on a technicality.

How does it deal with instances on 0.18 vs 0.17? Can it do both?

Nice

Gosh... I spent about an hour to understand and finally get an account on one of the Lemmy insurance. It odd so hard...

Why do I get no posts if I choose Everything > subscribed?

Edit: just updated and this option seems to have gone

I've not been able to login with my vlemmy.net instance, however I really like the UI and had success with my lemmy.one instance!
