Mlem makes me miss Apollo for Reddit lol.

This app seems wonderful. It’s fast and clean, all I could ask for. Similar to Apollo.

Haha yeah we're definitely the "slow and steady" team on this one. Memmy is done in react-native, which, as the app very effectively demonstrates, is a fantastic framework for getting a smooth app out to market fast. We're using SwiftUI, which has the advantage of being the native iOS framework--it's more powerful and integrates better with the platform, but at the cost of being slower to develop in.

I can’t wait to see it fully developed. I still pop in on the beta on TestFlight from time to time.

Really appreciate the native approach! Came from Memmy and Mlem feels really smooth and Apollo like 👍
