Nothing to see.

Hi All,

It has been a crazy few days as I've been trying to keep up with all your great feedback about the app.

When it was pointed out that there was another app in development using the same codebase, I was really interested to see how they were progressing, and in discussing our two projects we very quickly realised that we could move so much faster if we joined forces.

So we've just announced our new combined app Liftoff!

We've brought together the best parts of both projects and have opened up the source for the project for your inspection and contributions.

We will be using GitHub for logging issues, and I will ensure over the next couple of days that all the points that have been raised here or through TestFlight are captured there.

If you want to have longer discussions and interactions with us, we have a new community at https://lemmy.world/c/liftoff.

Thanks all for your support, encouragement and criticism, and I hope to be hearing from you at the new community.

Thanks, Michael

This fixes problems caused by a change to the API which meant that comments on posts retrieved via lemmy.ml failed to load. Thanks to everyone who reported this via TestFlight!

Also includes preference for warning on posts with NSFW content, and trimming of excessively long post body text.

Available as usual at https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

Fixes for a couple of important issues:

• Make EVERYTHING feed an option, off by default. This was causing confusion as posts picked up from servers where the user isn't logged on can't be voted on, replied to etc. Making this clear is requiring a bit of thinking about how posts are presented, so this option must now be selected in Settings > General
• Change the DELETE account option to be a much less dangerous REMOVE. I've not had any irate feedback yet, but that was too dangerous an action to leave in this app.

Thanks to the over 50 people who have downloaded the app so far. No crashes encountered yet, but lots of great feedback both here and in TestFlight, so thank you all!

The app should update automatically, although I had to fiddle around to get the update myself, so let me know if you have any problems.

Yes, it's yet another app for Lemmy.

Based heavily on the abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.

Written in Flutter, so although it's only available for iPhone and iPad right now, it does run on macOS and Android so releases for those platforms may be on their way.

I will be releasing the source once the app has gone through this beta testing phase.

Go and get it!

Let me know here of any issues or in the TestFlight build (long press on the icon). Once I've opened the source we can start using GitHub to track issues.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• The app occasionally forgets who you are and mistakenly nags you to log in when trying to comment or vote.

Developers: interested in helping out? Experienced with Mobx, Provider and Freezed? Let me know!

Features:

• Full featured for end users
• Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode
• Multiple accounts on multiple servers
• Localisation (work in progress)
• Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities)
