Please leave feedback either here or on GitHub.

Note this is very much a work in progress still and this is very barebones. I plan to continue work and submit nightly builds on TestFlight, so be on the lookout for the new releases.

Happy scrolling!

    @gkd@lemmy.world This looks like a fantastic start! As an Apollo user it’s a very familiar experience.

    At the very least I’ll try to test and submit bug reports. If I can find the time I’ll try to do some development too. (I could do with a React side-project…)

    Using it now to post this comment. I’m really liking it, it’s very smooth. Wish there was compact view but I’m sure its coming soon. I might switch over from mlem

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

        Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.

    this is great! I really enjoy the UI and the feel of this app.

    @gkd@lemmy.world - any plans to allow for adding multiple accounts?

    Looks great! Bit of a pain during login because it would bring my cursor back to the server line after each letter when I was typing in my username

    Always great to have more options! But this seems very similar to Mlem in terms of goals (Apollo like). Why not combine efforts?

      Underlying technology is completely different. One is Swift, one is React. It talks about this on the GitHub.

      This is one of those cases where two is better than one, because not everyone can contribute to a Swift app, and multiple projects isn’t splitting effort, it’s bringing on people who wouldn’t otherwise be involved at all.

      Plus, probably worth having a few going just because there is so much activity now. Mlem is moving a little slower than I had hoped so while I’d prefer a native Swift iOS app, this one is already a little more functional and it’s the first release.

        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!
