I am so in love with this. What an amazing gift this app is in a world of corporations and data harvesting. If ever thereโs a project that deserves our huge support, itโs this one.
Best lemmy app, period. So sleek, so smooth.
But how we are supposed to enjoy a Lemmy app without spending $20 on it?
Yeah! It respects your privacy and there's no ads!
Very suspect!
โIf Iโm not the product, then WHO AM I??โ
Congrats! Iโve been using the PWA for a few weeks and Iโve been convinced to do it for my next project.
I was hoping the "scroll freeze after swipe back" bug would've been fixed by this...
Is this an apple only problemยฟ? I don't face this on android
Yep it's a Safari (and its webview) bug. This is a quirk that will haunt this app and I don't think there's much that can be done from developer's side other than porting this app to a native library.
The safari bug is actually resolved in the native app for iOS. It only ignores gestures if you swipe quickly while the view is still transitioning, but it no longer latches which is the safari bug.
The problem is that Ionic view transitions are too slow on swipe back (vs native views) this is an Ionic bug though that can be resolved in a future version of Ionic. Basically the view transitions too slowly and you try to swipe right at the tail end of the animation and this initial gesture is ignored.
But it should no longer "freeze" until you stop all gestures, this is resolved in the native app.
Oh nice.
It's still driving me crazy though. I'll wait patiently for that to get fixed...
Wait it doesnโt?
It doesn't fix this unfortunately. This is a Safari/Webkit bug that still isn't fixed.
More info for context here: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/18
It is definitely better.

How can I get the old icon back? Iโm not a fan of the new one.
In the future there will be an app icon switcher :)
App icon switching is planned for a future update. Maybe the original will be included, but I canโt say.

Yeah, Iโll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
Been waiting for this app to be released on iOS and it DOES NOT disappoint! Hands down the best way to view Lemmy.
If itโs already this good on its first release I canโt wait to see what the future updates will bring!
As a former Apollo user, this app also brings me back to the good times of using it before it was shutdown.
Fantastic work devs!
Posting from the app, looking great! Thank you, @aeharding, youโre doing amazing work here. Migrating to Lemmy from the other place has been such a breeze with this app to smooth the way.
Whoa. This looks very promising! THANK YOU.
Looks good to me. What I still miss from Apollo is a swipe right to get โbackโ to a post I just swiped left from. Something like the browser forward button.
Iโm just a layman in terms of app development, but have a basic understanding of the monumental amount of work that has gone into this app, so I would like to congratulate everyone, or singular person, who has made my viewing habits as streamlined as they are.
I look forward to your success, and wish you all the praise, financial, emotional and learning support you could wish for.
I've been using the Android version, and it's awesome, y'all IOS buddies are in for a treat.
Fabulous
Great news!
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
Congratulations!
Awesome news! Congratulations aeharding and team! ๐๐ฅณ
Downloaded and reviewed. :)
Already downloaded! Didnโt realize how much I missed the haptics
I don't really use any apple devices but I'm really happy for you guys. Congrats!
Thank you for all your work into this app! Currently replying from the iOS app ๐
Commenting directly from the new app!!
Thank you! It looks and works wonderfully!
Awesome work :)
Woah boi do I feel at home ! It looks so much like Apollo, I love it ! Itโs so nice, everything is where it should be. Iโm loving it so far, thank you so much
Any chance you'll include the option to select which browser to use as the default rendered? Sync let's me choose that currently, and it's one of my main reasons for using that over Voyager, because I much prefer the Voyager UI (and ad-free experience).
You mean choose a default browser for external links? If so, yes, here: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/553
