  • Hmm strange… I waited with the announcement post until the new version (v0.0.5) got approved by Apple. But it seems that for most people v0.0.4 is the most recent version that they can download. Hopefully this will sort itself out in the coming days 🤞

    The new version includes some bugfixes, like the cancel buttons not working, but also the ability to create / edit / delete posts


  • It’s written in React Native, with some Swift modules here and there. I wrote down some more in depth behind the scenes in a previous post.

    When Apollo shut down I really missed it in my day to day use, so initially this project started out as a personal project to see if I could replace that Apollo craving. Since then the development was going so well that I wanted to share it with the rest of the community as well.

    Since then I’ve also build some things that imho are an improvement, for example:

    • the onboarding
    • the markdown editor
    • the chat interface for private messages

    It’s been really fun to work on, but now that the basis is quite stable I’ll look into features that make it more tailored to Lemmy



  • Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:

    The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅

    I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release











  • I can see where you’re coming from, since I have a separate page on my homescreen with all the iOS Lemmy apps as well, but I built this UI myself. However, I must admit that my design has been greatly influenced by Apollo (like a lot of other Lemmy iOS apps). In fact, I have a folder filled with Apollo screenshots that I captured before it went offline, using them as a source of inspiration. While I genuinely believe that Memmy is an exceptional app with a lot of features that I haven’t even built yet, my main objective was to challenge myself into building an app that has the same native iOS feeling like Apollo.
