Don’t worry I have your back. We’ll take ‘em together.

You had to be there.

I plan to support Android too, by the way. It is already about 90% functional, mainly just some styling issues due to a few quirks between iOS and Android rendering. I’ll keep you guys all posted!

Glad to hear it’s working well! Let me know if you run into any issues or have ideas!

Although it should have been fixed to not crash (release was only just pushed though), it does not currently support KBin. I will look into implementing the API and support this. Might be a bit, since it will require actually writing an API wrapper (from what I have seen anyway), but that isn’t too much work. I’ll put it on the list.

Feel free to try another instance as well such as https://lemmy.world

Ah I didn’t know about this. I’ll have to see how to get that information and render accordingly. Thanks for letting me know!

Have you checked the TestFlight app for an update?

There are a few things that are a bit harder to do with RN given a bit of easy access to APIs, but you can always make modules to interface with native code. For one, this little image thing I used is just pulled from a library. It’s a bit iffy, and I am writing a replacement for that now. Same with markdown rendering.

As far as the UI itself, it gets pretty close to what you’d see with a native UI, if not exact. But I certainly do understand why from a dev standpoint you’d like to use SwiftUI, it’s great!

If there’s anything that you’d like to see in the UI though let me know!

Thanks for the feedback!

Fixed the KBin crash.

Sharing I was thinking about having a little “…” at the top of the comment to offer an action sheet with sharing. But I like the swipe idea too. And of course the post share sheet will be there too.

Fixed that in the latest release. Sorry about that…

Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn’t have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.

Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don’t want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there’s so many people working on things for Lemmy already!

Yup. I took it for a spin on a simulator and things are about 90% functional out of the box. There’s some weird scaling issues with the text, but I believe that to be the patchwork way I’m rendering the markdown right now. Once I finish the markdown parser it should be the same across both platforms.

While it does take up the whole view, I intend to have a few other buttons and things on screen. The comment that you’re replying to will be visible under the comment section, and there will be some buttons to easily add markdown to the comment.

I have something in the works and should have it released today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the cross post! Please feel free to let me know if you guys run into any issues!
