It's taken a lot of hard work and I'm excited to announce that Voyager is now on the Apple App Store!

If you have time, download the app and consider leaving a review! This helps Voyager gain visibility and legitimacy.

Get the App!

Can I continue to use the PWA?

Of course! The PWA is self-hostable, hackable, and receives updates quicker. However, it doesn't have access to certain native APIs that the native app takes advantage of.

Can I continue to use the Test Flight beta?

Yes, but I recommend switching to the App Store release if you aren't actively involved in testing. It's a more stable release :)

Enjoy! πŸ’™

Would it be possible to change accounts while staying on a post? In case I browse with one account and want to comment from a different one? Or some setting to autoswitch accounts when I open a post from a different instance which I also have an account on?

Is that so you can have conversations with yourself?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

😁 Rather because it’s sometimes more useful to comment with a β€žlocalβ€œ account instead of the standard one I browse with. It’s a little complicated with the whole federated approach.

This is odd. I can upvote, scroll, sort, login … all of it with Memmy. None of that works the first time with Voyager. I keep getting errors saying it can’t login, can’t vote and so on. I have to try it twice for it to work.

How much extra programming overhead does adding code to use these native APIs add to youΒΏ?

What are these benefits?

Posted from the native app :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No benefits. I was asking the main dev how much extra work he has to do to maintain the native versions

Hey, would it not be possible to switch to our PWA? Or is the code completely different?

Is it just me or is the animation when collapsing comments is very choppy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not just you. Also very choppy for me, both on the PWA and on the app from F-Droid.

Not exactly glad to hear it, but relieved that it isn't a device issue. All the people talking about how fluid it is....what? It's a good app but it's not fluid at ALL, heck even Jerboa is like 10x more fluid for me.

Will you implement in the Future the "Plus button" to create posts without actually visiting one community?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the android one is on github, no? will it be released on google play eventually?

Cannot report a bug, iPad store version. Was asked which instance I'm on with login and password, so 100% fail. Basically this app does not know what federation is. Sad, it was a great app.
