Memmy Released on App Store - What To Know If You Are Just Downloading
Thank you for all your support over the past weeks. It’s helped us get to this point.
A word of caution: The build that was released is slightly outdated and there are a few issues that have already been addressed in that build. Unfortunately because you can’t replace the build in review, we were not able to update it as we went through this nearly week-long back and forth with Apple. It required an appeal to get us onto the store.
With that said, I’ll be releasing the final version of 0.0.2 tonight to TestFlight, and will begin build versioning starting at 0.1.0, which will be the next release on the store. I’ll try and have something submitted to them tonight and hopefully it will be reviewed and released within a day or so.
I'll update this post here in a few hours with more information. Tonight's build will include another list of bug fixes as well as vast improvements to the slide to upvote/comment feature (no more glitching, hopefully) as well as hopefully fixing a few issues with the image viewer.
This should give us a fairly stable release which I will submit to Apple for review. Thankfully, now that we have completed the initial review future updates should be much quicker (likely around 12-24 hours per update).
Congrats on release! I’ve had problem deciding on a primary app for fediverse and I think Memmy might be it. Sorry you had issues with Apple. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here! Keep up the good work.
Tried memmy but I’m not sure you can actually reply to comments, just the main post itself. And Mlem is the same way actually, so maybe I’m doing something wrong?
wefwef is still just the closest thing to Apollo I’ve seen and it replies to comments just fine in my experience 🤷♂️
Wefwef is REALLY good. Memmy is excellent as well, I found it scrolls much smoother than wefwef. It’s absolutely bonkers that we have so many choices in such a short time since the Reddit meltdown.
On a comment swiping from right to left would collapse that entire thread up to the parent comment. I used this ALL THE TIME. It’s great for when you’re deep down a rabbit hole of comments and go “ok I’m done with this conversation, what’s the next one?”, then swipe to shrink the whole thing up to the next parent comment. I didn’t realize how much I loved this feature until after it was gone.
The second might be the same as what you’re saying (?). If I accidentally swipe out of a topic and back to the magazine list view of posts, in Apollo you could go “oops!” And swipe from the right edge to go back to where you were (even, back to the comment you were at in that topic). It was a really nice feature.
Same, i didn’t realize how much muscle memory I had engrained from Apollo, I swipe right to left at least 3 times a day to try and return to a thread 😖
No. TestFlight will continue to be a beta platform to receive feedback for new versions before they go live. Anyone who is still interested in being a tester is welcome to stay here and will receive regular updates. I am just changing the versioning because of the App Store requirements.
Right now, I only increment build numbers to avoid having to enter a review period for new TestFlight releases. Now, I'll increment the version number after each Store release, and we will be starting at 0.1.0. TestFlight might go from 0.1.0.1 to 0.1.0.15. If we decide at build 15 that we should push to the store, then we will then begin development of 0.1.1.1 on TestFlight and so on.
Watching the app come together since it’s early inception to release has been a wonder as a beta tester. Every release just expands the scope and possibilities of the entire platform.
This App is already being used by thousands of people to connect with the world. When I used Apollo - I used it to hone my hobbies, my career, my tastes, learn about places I’ll visit or where I live now, and make real valuable friendships. Surely, Memmy will continue that tradition for me - and at least thousands more. Great work!
Congrats! This really is the best app out there and I appreciate how much you’re iterating and experimenting. You’ve completely transformed my Lemmy experience
App works great thank you! Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but I feel that upvote should be red/orange and downvote should be blue. Both wefwef and Memmy have it backwards… or maybe I’m just tripping
A bit late to the party, but wow - you guys have done an amazing job. Thanks for all the hard work. I reckon this (memmy and wefwef) is gonna make life a whole lot easier for people to move to the fediverse.
This probably isn’t the correct forum to make a suggestion, but I couldn’t connect to the discord, so I’ll just add it here - in case it’s valuable to you:
When going through the feed, it gets a little difficult to see which community the content is linked to. I think swapping the positioning of the username and community would make things a lot easier. I believe that from an information architecture perspective, the community should take priority over the user who has posted the content. But that’s just me.
Hope this was useful feedback.
Cheers, and big ups to you guys for all the effort you’ve put in!
My dude, I can't thank you enough for this amazing piece of software. I've been waiting for an iOS Lemmy app for over a year now, and this is much better than what I expected/hoped for. God bless you.
Been using it for a little bit and so far its quite good. A few hiccups, but nothing to make it unusable. I'm on iOS 17 and like I said, working well. Thanks for this!!!!
