I know the developers are working hard and I’m sure they’ll be coming with Mlem updates. I hope to see a notification centre being added, as well as the posts being collapsed instead of full-length. Do you wish for an Apollo type of design, or similar?

Edit: just a heads-up, I am not in any way affiliated with LemmyNet nor its devs. You can also voice your suggestions via Testflight by beta-using Mlem.

Edit2: Mlem dev reached out to me and told me the team is tracking the features that are asked for in this thread, and y’all’s ideas are being heard. Read more about issues being discussed over here https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues.

    Apollo is the one of the best designed apps I’ve ever used, I’d take inspiration from it in any applicable way.

    Outside of obvious UI/UX improvements I’d love to see good iPad support.

    Loving the app so far. Here are some things I’d like to see implemented at some point (in no particular order):

    • Option to NOT show the entire post on the feed. Similar to Apollo, we should have option to just show the Post Title and maybe a few lines from the post itself. Then click into to expand. Right now you see the entire post which some times takes up the whole screen
    • Tap to collapse (comment section)
    • Submitting posts via the app
    • Ability to cross-post within the app
    • Swipe to vote (similar to Apollo)
    • See your Post/Comment history

    Don’t get lost implementing fancy features at the beginning, concentrate on supporting what the Lemmy web UI does and try to provide a smooth and pleasant experience on iOS.

    In case you’re looking for inspiration would highly recommend to take a look at the Ice Cubes client for Mastodon. An extremely well made app.

      That would be something, Ice Cubes is great. Maybe the devs from Ice Cubes would like to create an app for Lemmy as well.

    I’d love to see a Dark Mode personally, but also a way to see what’s on the homepage of a instance. I like to check that (kind of like r/all) to get news or things outside my main subscribed community’s

      Just FYI, if iOS is in dark mode, so is Mlem. So it has dark mode, I guess it just needs a user setting for it when you want it different from your OS theme

      I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

      Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.

        Thank you for the point about the length of development. I essentially started Mlem a year a half ago as my very first iOS project to take my mind off the pain from a major surgery I had the the time, then it sat abandoned until I revived it just a little over month ago. So the total dev time on Mlem is only around a month and a half. It’s still a little baby 😊
