Thank you for all your support over the past weeks. It’s helped us get to this point.
A word of caution: The build that was released is slightly outdated and there are a few issues that have already been addressed in that build. Unfortunately because you can’t replace the build in review, we were not able to update it as we went through this nearly week-long back and forth with Apple. It required an appeal to get us onto the store.
With that said, I’ll be releasing the final version of 0.0.2 tonight to TestFlight, and will begin build versioning starting at 0.1.0, which will be the next release on the store. I’ll try and have something submitted to them tonight and hopefully it will be reviewed and released within a day or so.
I’ll update this post here in a few hours with more information. Tonight’s build will include another list of bug fixes as well as vast improvements to the slide to upvote/comment feature (no more glitching, hopefully) as well as hopefully fixing a few issues with the image viewer.
This should give us a fairly stable release which I will submit to Apple for review. Thankfully, now that we have completed the initial review future updates should be much quicker (likely around 12-24 hours per update).
See you guys in a bit!
Cheers!
Congrats on release! I’ve had problem deciding on a primary app for fediverse and I think Memmy might be it. Sorry you had issues with Apple. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here! Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I love wefwef but it’s missing native settings and some things Memmy has already, so this is the one.
I hope we get auto marking as read by scrolling past posts (aka, actually hiding the post on our account, and not just in-app like wefwef)
Tried memmy but I’m not sure you can actually reply to comments, just the main post itself. And Mlem is the same way actually, so maybe I’m doing something wrong?
wefwef is still just the closest thing to Apollo I’ve seen and it replies to comments just fine in my experience 🤷♂️
Just installed the app and am testing replying to your comment (by swiping from right to left on it)
Oh yeah that was it, I wasn’t swiping -_-
Swipe to reply, yea that through me for a loop too first time using it.
I feel dumb and I think it’s also a usability issue. I thought replies were a federation issue.
I love the swipe feature but any gesture should have a button option or, at a minimum, something in settings that tells you what the swipe optional are even if you can’t change them yet.
Wefwef is REALLY good. Memmy is excellent as well, I found it scrolls much smoother than wefwef. It’s absolutely bonkers that we have so many choices in such a short time since the Reddit meltdown.
Yea we’re so spoiled, I’m a big comment collapser, App Store Memmy likes to freeze up a bit, where as wefwef is a bit quicker….but it likes to jump my position in the ‘scroll position’ 🤣
Still….I’ll take these problems over fucking Reddits app!!
Holy shit those are my boys (in the App Store screenshot)!
Handsome kitties :)
You’re famous
Congrats! I’ve been on the beta for a couple of weeks and am very impressed how quickly it’s become solid.
Can you let me know the best way to submit feature requests? There is one or two gestures I dearly miss from Apollo and find myself reflexively doing.
Same. Using the App Store version right now and it’s been great so far.
I think maybe GitHub for requests? I could be mixing it up with Mlem though.
Great to see this moving forward. If I understand correctly, you’ll be retiring the Test Flight releases soon, right?
No. TestFlight will continue to be a beta platform to receive feedback for new versions before they go live. Anyone who is still interested in being a tester is welcome to stay here and will receive regular updates. I am just changing the versioning because of the App Store requirements.
Right now, I only increment build numbers to avoid having to enter a review period for new TestFlight releases. Now, I’ll increment the version number after each Store release, and we will be starting at 0.1.0. TestFlight might go from 0.1.0.1 to 0.1.0.15. If we decide at build 15 that we should push to the store, then we will then begin development of 0.1.1.1 on TestFlight and so on.
Pretty sure they’re going to keep pushing beta testing on test flight while keeping what’s available on the App Store as the most stable version.
It’s crazy to see how fast this app has gotten better. Congratulations to the App Store release, you’re doing awesome work.
My dude, I can’t thank you enough for this amazing piece of software. I’ve been waiting for an iOS Lemmy app for over a year now, and this is much better than what I expected/hoped for. God bless you.
This official release might get my friends to try Lemmy finally. Great App!
Congrats! This really is the best app out there and I appreciate how much you’re iterating and experimenting. You’ve completely transformed my Lemmy experience
I missed out on the TestFlight do this has been my first impression of Memmy and its great!
If you can say… what was the issue which meant you had to appeal? As someone who’s learning to code apps I am curious about what issues devs have.
PS. anyone else getting a JSON error on posting it you have an apostrophe?
amazing stuff! keep up the great work 🥳
Can’t find it in appstore
Well I should have read that before my horrible mistake of stopping the TestFlight
You should be able to redownload the TF version no?
It says the test flight is at max capacity
Thanks for making a great app! I’ve had a good time using Memmy over the past month.
Congrats on getting out there! I’m happy to continue testing if that’s useful. Thanks for a great app and being so responsive, really cool to see.
This is awesome! Thanks for the effort to bringing this app out into the wild!
