I don’t personally align with either political party but the fact that you didn’t see the irony in this before posting it is really something spectacular.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/o9m6BbyU Looking forward to hearing from you all! It’s not finished yet but I haven’t ran into any show stoppers yet. That’s up to you all 🥲

Testing (sorry)

Testing (sorry)

I’m working on a native iOS app called Olympus too(‘: it’s built with all the new SDKs Apple gave us for iOS 17 (meaning only those on the iOS 17 beta will be able to use it). I should have a TestFlight link up by Monday, doing some final smoke testing this weekend before I let all you users try and break it

To your second point: already done. As for the first one, I can definitely add that as an option but one of my favorite features from Apollo was that it told you when there were new comments since the last time you opened the post. What if it hid the post unless there were new comments in the thread? Maybe have that as an option as well. I’m really going for extreme levels of customization & I love the idea

These are awesome requests, I’ll be sure to reach out to you when the app is ready for testing. If you or anyone else have requests when it comes to mod tools specifically please reach out to me. I’ve never been a mod on here or Reddit so I’m not sure what types of tools mods need, but there are definitely APIs for that and I’d love to take advantage of them.

It’s a good idea. The problem is the “hitboxes” if you will are very small there. I’ll see if I can come up with a good way to do this

I’m taking a lot of inspiration. If my app is as stable and feature-rich as Apollo I will feel very accomplished. After all these years browsing with Apollo the current options for Lemmy just feel lackluster.

Working title is Olympus. I already bought the domain so hopefully nothing better comes. The long term goal is to support multiple platforms like kbin & mastodon and possibly (optionally) Reddit

It’s not really a hamburger menu that’s just the icon I chose to use. it works the same way Apollo does.

Oh 100%! I plan on a user-submitted theme gallery along with completely customizable color options so you can set your own colors too

Correct. It is in the plans if they ever sort it out.

Planned (:

Already in the plans! 😁

I plan to!

Final public iOS 17 release will be in September with public betas starting next month. I didn’t want to architect a new app on top of technology that will be stale & require rework in 3 months. I wouldn’t expect the app to be ready for full blown public release too soon before then anyway. I’ve only been working on it for a week. Still have a lot of work before it’s stable enough for a release.

This is still very much a work in progress. I’ll be looking for beta testers soon so keep an eye out if your on the iOS 17 beta
