Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 10 months ago • 97%

There were some issues over the past week with logins. I migrated from storing JWTs in the app’s file system to using the iOS Keychain to store them. This prevents - mainly for users with jailbreaks - other applications being able to access tokens. The issue was caused by the iOS Keychain not being updated whenever the JWT was changed. So, if you signed into an account that already had an existing but invalid JWT, it would have not removed and overwritten the old one. This is fixed now along with ensuring that Memmy operates fine with 0.19. (Version 1.1.4, still waiting on Apple to approve the App Store release). Now, this isn’t for 99 percent of you, but yet it still needs to be said. I have said before and will continue to say: I am a single person (Sean has his own obligations) working on this right now. It has consumed a lot of time, and that is fine to me. However I also have life commitments. I totally understand that if the app is not functioning that you are going to migrate - at least temporarily - to another app. That’s fine. I would do the same. What is not helpful is rude comments or store. You’re more than welcome to bring up issues or leave reviews on the store (I do get notified of them) but doing so with “doesn’t work, devs can’t even be bothered to….” provides me with absolutely nothing to work off of. This issue is a perfect example of that. There have been a handful of people who were unable to sign in for a few days now (more than I know of, I am sure). Of those people, a number either made comments here (and I do apologize for not reading those, please read below) or have left negative reviews without information. I was left to speculate about the issue and assume it was fixed and the user was just using an old version. It was not until today that someone reached out to me over email with details about the issue that I was able to pin it down and fix it. I am *extremely* grateful for the people who have either created GitHub issues or emailed me directly with logs and information. I’ve had interactions with a number of you over the past few weeks that have been great, and that is what open source software is all about. It should be noted too that - as of right now - this community is mainly used for me being able to make an announcement easily. I do not have the time to monitor this community however. If you directly reply to me or message me I’ll get the notification, but I do not pay attention to posts. If you have a question, it is *much* more helpful to send me an email (along with the debug log) or open an issue on GitHub. Know that this isn’t just a request for myself. I’m asking you to treat *every* developer working on Lemmy. related projects, or frankly any open source software with the same respect. I’ve seen numerous times on this site (and frankly this was something that made me want to take a step away for a moment) rude remarks and negativity made towards developers. It isn’t constructive at all and is the opposite of the energy that we as a community should be putting out. Please, all I ask is that we be respectful in both directions. As long as the community continues to be great I have no issue at all putting time into this. And outside of just myself and Memmy, the *only* way this community will continue to thrive and grow is if everyone is treated with that respect. Remember, too, that Lemmy in terms of size and Memmy in terms of existence have only been around for mere months. Nothing comes perfect out of the box. Lemmy is still - I think we can agree - in its early stages. So is Memmy and the rest of the applications out there. What should be remembered is that the next wave of people is bound to come at some point. Your help in development can make that transition easier than it was for you, whether it be help toward me, toward Voyager or Avelon or the other available options, to the instances, or to the Lemmy devs themselves. Thank you all. Long live Lemmy 💪(fuck /u/spez)

Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 11 months ago • 96%

Howdy all! Hopefully you are doing well. It has been quite some time since the last update, and for that I do apologize. Both personal commitments and just the need to take a step back have had both Sean and I not really working much on the app. However, here is some news from Memmy. The initial releases of Memmy taught me a *lot* about React Native. Making an app this feature filled is fairly difficult, and it grew quickly and fell apart in a lot of areas. Seeing all of those short comings, I have gone ahead and addressed them from the ground up. The number one issue was the UI framework that was in use. Somehow, the arguably most used UI framework for React Native had *exceptionally* terrible performance. That has now been completely removed from Memmy. What we are working with now produces renders in within 2ms of base React Native components. Additionally, the state has been completely reworked. No longer should there be any real issues there. I’ve taken care to try and make sure there is only one source of truth for posts and comments as well as making sure proper memoization is being used. Swipe gestures can be fully customized now, so feel free to do whatever setup you want. I have some code ready to test for push notifications again. Originally, I disabled them because of rate limit issues at the request of Lemmy.world. I’ll make sure I’m still in the clear, but I was given some numbers to work with before that I think will work fine. The community drawer can be opened from anywhere in the app by pressing and holding on the home icon now. Double tapping will refresh the feed. Small stuff, but highly requested. Drafts get stored for everything. You can start replying to a comment, close out and reply to another one, then go back to the first. Your changes will be waiting for you. There are other changes all over the place that should really just make performance light years better. There are sleek animations now as well on community and profile views, and loading is no longer “jarring”. Animations and fade ins are used throughout the app for all loading of data. There’s some more stuff to implement but I anticipate having something up on the store by the middle of next week. I’ve submitted something to TestFlight for approval already, so if you are still in there you can download that. I should note that there are no plans at all to monetize Memmy. No advertisements, paywalls for features, etc. frankly, I am happy to bite the small bill for push notifications if it comes to it. The intention is just to make an environment that you all can easily use. Feel free to come back to memmy if you left, or stay where you’re at. As long as you’re happily using Lemmy in general that’s all that really matters :) Cheers!

Hey guys! Sorry for being AWOL for the past few days. I’ve been taking some personal time and stepped away for a bit. Going to be cleaning up some more stuff and pushing out some good stuff to you guys soon. This build here - for real this time - offers significant performance enhancements. There is more to be done, but this is a great start. Here’s some changes: - Hide username in the tab bar - Some context menu refactors - Add bug report option - We have replaced the old UI library with a new one. There are still some quirks to work out, and we will be handling those over the next few days. This offers quite a significant performance boost over the last library. - Using more stable variables to prevent unnecessary re-renders. This is one part of the performance improvements. - Fix infinite refreshing attempts of an empty community - Added option to delete posts. This was something I threw in tonight and will be finishing edit post tomorrow. I also have the mod tools ready to go, just a matter of adding them where they need to be in the menus - Comment chains are collapsed after either the first 4 2nd level comments or after 3 replies to a 2nd level comment. Much easier to scroll through comments now. This is a WIP so there might be issues. Let us know. - Added a comment jump button. Speaks for itself. Might have some issues and is still a WIP. Let us know if anything goes wrong - Should have fixed a few crashes that were getting reported while I was away. Again, sorry for the downtime. I’ll be more active over the next week and we should see some big stuff.

As the title says. Features are now available on TestFlight. Apple should approve the release on Monday, so let's hope that happens and it's available everywhere. Cheers. Edit: Noticed a problem with the marking as read. Fixed now and I'll update here shortly.

Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 1 year ago • 99%

Hey all! It may have seemed to be a slow week, but I have been toiling rewriting a significant portion of the codebase while staring at graphs so that we can better implement new features. Currently, the state management was a bit too spread out, so I have taken the time to centralize that. This is going to make things like mod tools a cinch to integrate, and I plan to do that this coming week (seriously). These changes should also provide some pretty good performance enhancements. To be sure, this is not a complete effort yet, however I have overhauled the two biggest things: feeds and posts/comments. These are the two biggest performance bottlenecks, and I think I’ve gotten about 80% of the way there in improving the performance there. Still more work to do though! Additionally, we should see another *significant* performance boost in the next portion of the rewrite, which will remove off the current UI library that we use and replace it with a much better performing library. That is a process that will happen over time. The great news is that now, we should be able to iterate at a higher speed with these changes, and we should be rolling out some big changes here in the next few days! For now, there are a few changes - and things that should be fixed because of this rewrite - I keep saying this, but I have a feeling that this should resolve some NSFW issues - I also keep saying this, but I am pretty certain that this *should* fix the issues with language ID issues. At least for posts, comments should be fixed in a day or so. - The profile screen has been reworked - Much better (but still lacking, and this will improve further in the coming days) performance with the traverse As this is a rewrite of a lot of state things, there is a chance that some things might have broken. However, I have done a good bit of testing here and think things are alright. If you see anything funky, please do let us know! We do plan (and should be able to do so more easily now) have some tab bar options that will allow you to customize the functions there. For example, you will be able to visit the traverse tab from a button on the tab bar if you wish to swap it out with another one. Like I said, this coming week will be more feature-full rather than behind the scenes work. Thanks for hanging in there while we get this stuff sorted out! Cheers!

Hey all! I am doing a rewrite right now of the state management so that we can scale a lot better. This is going to allow for a super seamless integration of mod tools as well as other integrations throughout the app. I am aware of some issues with the drawer right now, especially whenever a user has a large number of subscriptions. We are working on clearing that up. I'm also aware of some performance issues, especially on older devices. Two things are being done to correct this: - Better state management - Stripping out one of the UI libraries that is used and replacing it with either another library or raw React Native components. These will probably be done by the end of the week. I think these are two things that are super important to knock out now to keep things scalable. I'm learning here as we move along, and am fixing things up as I see issues arise 👍 Thanks for all the feedback, and know that some absolutely great things are coming your way very soon! Cheers

Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 1 year ago • 98%

Hey all! This should be available sometime later in the day. Huge thanks for a few new contributors - @joshua-davis-rose and @bohn002 - for putting in a lot of work as well. - Subscriptions now available in a drawer instead of "Traverse". More of an Apollo-esque style - Switch accounts by pressing and holding the profile button. Feed header now allows you to select Local/All/Subscriptions - Continuing to improve image viewer - Saving images and sharing images now uses the cached files to share, so you don't need to re-download them - Alphabetized subscription list - Community about screen now shows moderators - You can swipe back using anywhere in the tab bar (I've been experimenting with full-screen swipe back as well, once I get that ironed out a bit more we will add that too) - UI now uses the iOS 14+ dropdowns for context menus - Cleaned up some issues with longer community names, but there are still more to handle. Keep an eye out. - Subscriber count is now in the community search - All NSFW image issues *should* be fixed - Lots of performance enhancements around the app - Also lots of bug fixes, especially for a few newly discovered crashes Please be sure to report any issues to the GitHub if you can. It is much easier to track there than it is here. There's a lot of traffic, so it's hard to keep track of all of it! Stay tuned for more coming throughout the week!

Edit: Want to make this a sugestion thread, so please let us know your ideas on themes or names below. Howdy all! We have been internally discussing a rebranding of Memmy to another name. This has been a discussion for some time, and although we have certainly tried to see the upsides of *not* rebranding, we don't think this is a viable long-term option, for - among others - the following reasons: - Eventual support for non-Lemmy services such as Kbin or Mastodon - User awareness of Lemmy. Right now, the vast majority of people who are finding the app most likely are specifically searching for "Lemmy". While that's great and (based on trends on downloads/day) shows that there's obviously a big demand for Lemmy, we think this might not be the *best* way to grow - not just for ourselves but for Lemmy as a whole. We want the *fediverse to grow* and the best way to do that is to make it acceptable and easy to access without specifically targeting people who *already know* about Lemmy - Community feedback in general about the name. None of this is taken personal or anything, but there's definitely negative feedback for multiple reasons about it, and honestly I think we agree with most - if not all - of that feedback. Like I said, this is not something that we are doing lightly and we want to make sure we make the right choice before moving forward. Mind you, we are not talking about a short-term goal here of supporting multiple Fediverse platforms. That probably isn't even in the one-year plan if I'm being honest. But I personally believe the way that we make the Fediverse work is by making the whole experience awesome, and that means offering users with options and ease-of-use. So, with that said, we want to see what you guys think. We have had internal discussion about the possibility of using the name **Badger**, and while we all think that's a pretty good option, we are not 100% sold and want to gauge feedback before we do anything. **Edit: It seems like that might not be something the community is interested in, so we likely won't be going that route.** Please drop your suggestions for themes or names below! We will go through them all sometime later in the day. Let us know your thoughts!

Coming to the App Store tomorrow! Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway. This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldn't be any more issues with the swiping to close. There *are* some issues still but they are minor and I'll get them cleaned up here soon. I've spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so it's been a process. The "white flash of death" should be fixed here as well when you open up the app. We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone. Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers. Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

Over night I had a LOT of reports come in about a crash. I have fixed these issues and this version is now live on both the App Store and TestFlight. Please keep sending that information in! Thanks!

Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 1 year ago • 98%

There is currently something going on over at Lemmy.world causing authentication issues. This isn't a memmy specific issue but is also plaguing the PWA. https://lemmy.world/post/1364490 Until this is fixed, the best bet it to just keep "retrying". This would explain some of the issues I thought were linked to issues inside the app but might be something else. I have an update ready that will fix a bunch of these internal issues with the app, but unfortunately it's going to break Lemmy.world terribly for anyone using it, so I'm going to hold off on releasing that until they figure out what is going on.

App store version is up. If you are on Lemmy.world, you need to update your JWT token. Sorry, this was not intuitive and there is no proper error message. This is my fault and we seriously just never got around to this. Please go to "Manage Accounts" and then tap your Lemmy.world account. Hit "Edit Account", enter your password, then hit save. You should be back up and running.

Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy gkd • 1 year ago • 98%

## Note **This information is based off of early reports I have seen. I don't claim to know the extent to which any damage was done and as such recommend a password reset (two-factor authentication would not be of use if authentication tokens were compromised), but we do know that this was a Javascript injection.** ## Update As of right now, it seems that the vulnerability should have only exposed JWTs, which have been invalidated by those instance administrators. I'd still recommend a password rotation just because, but you should be alright. ========== With the recent Lemmy.world incident, I'd like to update you all. This vulnerability could not have affected you had you been using *only* Memmy while browsing. It was a Javascript injection, and as Memmy does not execute any Javascript, there is no attack surface here. The only case where this could have affected you would be if you had been signed in to your account inside of the in-app browser or the default browser and opened one of these posts. That however would not be something with Memmy itself, but rather the accessing of the PWA. Regardless, as we don't actually know what happened, I'd recommend changing passwords. If any JWTs were compromised during this, regardless of 2FA status these tokens could be used to authenticate with your account. From what I have seen, this was an issue that was limited to Lemmy.world, as supposedly they were running a custom frontend build. Other than that, I don't know anything else. Also, for the record, there is only one instance in this application where a webview is used, which is when viewing the terms of service which simply loads a local file from the app assets. Any questions, I'll try to answer them but you'd be better off asking people more knowledgeable about the incident. As always, this is a good time to go over your online security practices. It is strongly recommended that you use a password manager such as Bitwarden or 1Password if you do not use one already. This can help prevent credential surfing if you have used the same password over many sites, preventing you from having several of your accounts breached from a single breach. If you have used a password on Lemmy.world that you have used on other sites, you should change those other sites passwords immediately. Email addresses may have been breached during the attack and this may result in increased spam and phishing emails. It is strongly advised that you throughly verify any emails that you receive after this, particularly ones relating to login requests, messages from banks or payment providers, such as PayPal or government institutions. Thank you for using Memmy and stay safe!

Hey all. A serious family medical emergency came up today. I do not really know how it's going to turn out right now, so you might not see as much from me for a few days. The release to the App Store is still in process, we are just waiting for a review from Apple, this will not affect that. If it goes on for a bit, I will make sure that Sean knows how to process a build and release to TestFlight and subsequently to the App Store. I am hopeful that things will turn out alright but it's a pretty scary situation and I'm honestly not sure. I'll be around in the evenings and will do a bit of work, but I likely will not be reading or replying to anything here. Your feedback will still be monitored and we will be going over that. Additionally, for bug reports, I highly recommend opening an issue on GitHub. It is *incredibly* easier to read and follow issues opened there. Things here are quickly buried and hard to find. Thanks for all the support

In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I've submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes. I'd anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it's possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I've had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there's a chance it will happen today. I'll update you all when that happens. Improvements and additions: - New icon and options for changing icon color - New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update *wink*) - Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too) - Performance enhancments throughout the app - Hide read posts - Images in comments - Collapsible posts - Default comment sort - All of the "Top" sort options - Show a loading modal while downloading images - Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown - Add option for reader in webview - Settings improvements - Added embark theme - Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying - Adjustments to splashscreen - Username doesn't link to user profile in compact mode now - Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser Fixes: - Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing - Fix cake day showing the wrong year - Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network - Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch - Read icon now uses the correct color - Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links - Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

Hey all! We got an approved TF version up earlier, should have another one today and that will be submitted to review. I anticipate it would be reviewed either overnight or sometime tomorrow (Apple does do reviews on the weekend thankfully) I want to clear up two items real quick: 1. There are edge cases where the app will ask you for access to the local network. This is related to an issue where if an image is linked that is, for some reason, on an internal network (i.e. 192.168.1.1), the app tries to access that to cache the image. Obviously it doesn't exist, but because it's trying to make a local network connection, iOS displays this warning. For an example of this, please visit my profile in-app and hit posts. I've made a test post inside of /c/test that will trigger the issue. Feel free to just deny access, there's literally no reason to have this enabled. 2. Just to clear up some questions about what the device ID is used for, there's a comment chain [here](https://lemmy.ml/comment/1286875) about all of this in full detail. TLDR is that it is used for push notifications, and because the auth token from Lemmy we need *technically* would let us also see your email address, we have to disclose this as being linked to your identity. If you do not enable push notifications, there is zero information sent to us from the app. And if you do, the *only* time that traffic is sent from the app is when you enable or disable notifications. If anyone has questions about anything else, please comment here and I will answer all of them. Cheers guys!

Edit: Other features that were not on the list: - Hide read posts (with a button) - Collapsible posts - Images in comments - Default comment sort - All of the "Top" sort options - Fixed issues with askign for local permissions: See these commits for what caused this: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/5a1ed47fd92f76c6b0931e4b2e5700584ee469d8 https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/cdf9421e4955f7c93af0e750612e9db3dc4d6c61 Hey all! For all of the testers, we have submitted a 0.1 build to TestFlight that needs to get approved. These usually only take a few hours unlike a full store release which usually takes 12-24 hours, so expect that here soon. First, let me detail what is already fixed in the current TestFlight version and will be in the next store release: - Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link - Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link - The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space - Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd) - All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd) - The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose) - Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance - All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible) - Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit) - Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode - Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice - Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) *should* be fixed - Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed - Blur respects the current theme - Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote - Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile - Performance improvements in the feed - Performance improvements in comments - Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash - Performance improvements in profile - Performance improvements in inbox Here are the things being addressed that will be making their way into 0.1 TestFlight builds and should be available on the store either on Friday or Saturday: - New swipe animation. Much improved, more performant, and without the visual bugs we have right now - Error reporting. You'll get actual error messages now instead of the generic error codes Lemmy sends - Markdown enhancements. Pictures in comments should be there, and more than one image in a post will be shown - Editing or deleting a post - Improvements to image viewer. I cannot PROMISE that swiping through images (like a gallery) will be there but I CAN promise that there shouldn't be any further issues with swipe to dismiss or issues with swiping to close some images - Also, iPad users shouldn't have issues with viewing images in landscape mode anymore - Other improvements (I'll list them as we add them) - Other bug fixes (Same thing, I will list them as I add them) Things to note: I've seen some issues with subscriptions not showing up in the Traverse screen. I think this is a server issue, but I will verify that to be sure. I am experiencing this on Lemmy.ml and I think others are experiencing it on Lemm.ee. I wonder if a recent update (lemmy.ml seems to have updated) caused this. I also noticed that my upvote count on the profile has changed, not sure what that might be because of... For issues, I strongly suggest reporting them on GitHub: https://github.com/memmy-app/memmy While Sean and I do try to go through posts here, it's ***MUCH*** more difficult than it is on GitHub. We have an internal issue tracker that syncs with GitHub that we use to triage and develop roadmaps. It's hard to do that with posts here. Thanks for all of the INCREDIBLE support over the past day from you guys!

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!

Still fighting with Apple...unfortunately today's rejection was an invalid one. The reviewer somehow "missed" the entirety of the conversation with the last one, and didn't realize that everything that was requested had been implemented and resolved... I've submitted a response to that as well as escalated it to an appeal. Hopefully today we will hear something back. Here are the changes made in this version: - Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link - Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link - The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space - Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd) - All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd) - The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose) - Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance - All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible) - Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit) - Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode - Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice - Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) *should* be fixed - Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed - Blur respects the current theme - Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote - Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile - Performance improvements in the feed - Performance improvements in comments - Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash - Performance improvements in profile - Performance improvements in inbox The next update should include post deletion/editing as well as the remainder of the missing items in the inbox. Additionally, we have a much better slider available now for comments/posts voting so we will be implementing that. Thanks! Happy scrolling!

Edit: This has been completed. We needed to move to a CPU optimized server which is now complete. Shouldn't be any more issues aside from instances being unable to respond or federation issues not properly delivering your inbox notifications. ============================= I'll be doing a push notifications server migration tomorrow as we prepare for a full release. This might be down for a bit as I do that, but it shouldn't take too long. If you get any old notifications, that's a result of the data not being up to date. Shouldn't be a huge deal, but it might happen. On that note, Apple replied to the review today stating that we did not have a proper account deletion feature. I've made some changes to the app and given them additional details on how things work. Regardless, I think with the new change we should be 100% within guidelines. Hopefully they pick the review up tonight or tomorrow. Cheers!

Lots of changes today! Here we go, but first huge thank you to the multiple people who helped out with a lot today with PRs! Lots of good advice, performance, and refactoring! - Crash during signup was fixed - The ... button at the top of the feed screen has been replaced. It now shows an icon depending on whichever view you're looking at (subscribed, local, etc) (Thanks to https://github.com/jacksonopp) - A message will now be presented if you look at the subscriptions screen and you don't have any - Feed view has been optimized. Huge thanks to https://github.com/beardwin for his advice on optimization as well as other React Native advice! - The header dropdown drawer is now animated as well thanks to https://github.com/beardwin - There should be better handling of images that are inside of markdown, especially in the feed view - Haptic feedback is now played on all post actions as well as the bookmark option on the feed view - All images should now save. Previously, there was an issue saving webp images (which a lot of people seem to share). Shouldn't be a problem now - The keyboard accessory in the post view is fixed. It won't disappear anymore. - Sharing links with markdown now gives you some dialogs to make this easy. Just set the link and set the label. - The selected option is now listed in the action sheet for selecting a sort (thanks again to Thanks to https://github.com/jacksonopp) - There is now better visibility for showing the OP of a post - Comments now collapse to a much smaller size so they get out of your way (thanks to https://github.com/ktgd) Lots more fixes will be coming tomorrow as well. Doing a lot of cleanup right now, things are only going up from here! We will keep you up-to-date on the App Store review process as well. It's now been about 12 hours since initial submission for review. Happy scrolling!

Happy scrolling!

Hey all! Here are today's updates: - Crashes are fixed for: - Subscriptions - Community Blocks - Other notifications that had a "toast" popup - You can now edit comments by pressing the "..." in the post view. I'll finish post edit tomorrow. - There is a whole new onboarding process for new users. If you want to give it a spin, just reinstall Memmy and check it out. I'll have some screenshots below as well. - You can toggle when your messages will be marked as read (thanks to https://github.com/ktgd) - Posts that are stuck to the community or local will now show as such (thanks to https://github.com/qoopa) - You can toggle a setting now to allow images to take up the full height of the screen in the feed view (instead of being downsized to fit) - Other bug fixes ## Onboarding As we prepare for an App Store release today, we hope that these types of changes help to make it easier to get people to figure out registration. If you have ideas on how we can make this easier, please let us know!

Hey all. I want to do two things in this post. I'll get the first one out of the way real quick. ## Community Rules While I appreciate all the support and fun, I'd like for us to not attack or belittle, or make fun of any of the other apps or developers that are being made. Even if a comment *could* be interpreted as doing so, I'd rather us not share that content. This obviously cannot be controlled by me outside of this community, but I'd like to emphasize that I think we should follow this behavior *as a Lemmy community*. There may be features of Memmy that are superior right now to those in other apps, and I am certain there are features in other apps that are superior to those in Memmy. The thing that matters is we are *all* working toward making a more accessible, friendly, and fun way to access Lemmy, and that is something that will help this community grow. There's a reason that there were *multiple* successful iOS and Android apps for Reddit. There's a reason that even with an official Mastodon app, there are other apps that interact with Mastodon as well. No single developer can create **THE** app that will appeal to every user. I can't do that, nor can anyone else. So let's keep the spirit up for *all* the devs and work on this as a team. With that said, here are some ground rules. ## Rules 1. Be polite. 2. Don't start drama or anything that could be perceived as starting drama. 3. Don't trash talk, belittle, or joke about the work of other developers. This doesn't mean you can't say "I like this feature in X better than in Y". That's fine. But let's not start with "lol I had to delete that app it was garbage, idk wtf they are doing over there..." 4. Try to stay in-scope. Everything so far has been fine. Keep all the feature requests and bug info coming (although bug reports should mainly be posted to GitHub as it is much easier to view and triage there) I might update this if I think of anything else, but that's pretty much it. I'm also not saying that anyone **DID** do anything like this, but I saw some content that could have been **PERCEIVED** as such. ## Roadmap We are looking at an MVP release to the App Store being submitted before the 1st. It will be either tomorrow or day after tomorrow. I am not sure how long it will take for review, but I'd give it a range of 12 hours (unlikely) to two days (maybe even longer). After this MVP gets released, we will start implementing community feature requests. All of the posts you guys are making here and on GitHub *are not* going unread. We will figure out which ones we need to prioritize, which ones we *want* to prioritize, and which ones can be pushed back. We will release a detailed roadmap of this soon. We have fixed all of the issues with crashes and that update will be released within the next day on TestFlight. We have also done the following: 1. Revamped the community/subscriptions screen 2. Created an interactive onboarding process for new users who don't know about Lemmy. It will help with picking an instance, give you details about the instances you can join, etc. Full .18.1 captcha support. 3. Cleaned up some more theme issues and UI issues. 4. Added editing of posts/comments I think this is enough to give us an MVP for release. At the very least, I want to get something to Apple that they can put through the initial review process so that we can make sure we are fully compliant with their rules.

Hey all! Edit 2: Well that was cool:  Looks like I hit a stray key before building...resubmitting now as version 0.0.1.75 Edit: Update released. Going to be pushing an update here in a few hours with the following changes: - The issue where tapping a post in your profile would cause a crash is fixed. We were getting ready to fix up profiles and this happened...sorry - Profile page is now available for any user. Just tap their name in the feed or search. - You can now swipe on an item in your inbox to mark it as unread. Still need to finish up mentions and messages, but I'll have that done tomorrow. - Additional themes and a better way to select them. I'll get system default added either tomorrow or day after that. - Other bug fixes under the hood Let me know what all needs working on still and we will get it fixed up! Happy scrolling! On a side note, I want to ask the following of everyone: If you are having issues subscribing to communities (crash), please let me know the instance you are on and the community you are trying to subscribe to. I'm really curious to know what is going on there, as I am 100% unable to reproduce this issue but obviously it's happening to a lot of you. There has not been any significant change to the subscription logic which makes me think that this might have something to do with something going on with a certain instance, but I cannot be sure. I am also curious if this is something that happened with the latest update to .18 and the use of the .18 API and API client inside of Memmy. There appears to be proper error handling here in this logic, so I am not sure what might be causing that crash. Thanks!

Hey all! As always, thank you for being a tester. Because of your efforts in reporting, things are continually improving and we are finding new issues to patch up. **Before I explain, I just want you to know that this is *not* a rant or anything. It has nothing to do from any feedback from you guys, but something I wanted to clear up ahead of time, especially going into the fairly soon release of a stable build on the App Store.** I just wanted to give a quick explanation of how Sean and I are using TestFlight. I'm not sure how other apps are handling this, but my current use and future plan is to use TestFlight for "hot off the press" builds. That does not mean that no testing has gone into them, but it does mean that the testing will have been limited. Were we a big team, we would send things through QA before releasing whether to TestFlight or for production to the App Store. However, we are not, and it is primarily only two people contributing to the actual codebase. We are extremely grateful to the people who are submitting PRs with improvements and fixes however, and would love for that to continue. With that said, TestFlight will continue to be for hot releases. Things might break, things might improve. And you guys, the community, are that QA team. There's no way we could get this sort of feedback or anything without you guys, and we are grateful for that. I just don't want you all to feel that we are throwing bugs at you for no reason. Once a stable build is released on the App Store, I'd love for some of you to stick around with us in TestFlight to continue doing what you are doing. Builds to TestFlight will likely become *more* frequent rather than less with a proper CI/CD pipeline will be established to release new version tags on Git directly to TestFlight. I also want to make sure that all of you know that regardless of whether you receive a response or not, your issues are seen and are being addressed. I think it goes without saying that this community has grown extremely fast. To go from having zero users to nearing 10000 in less than two weeks is a difficult task to juggle, especially when dealing with a brand new codebase, a brand new API, and all the while attempting to integrate and push at lightning fast speeds. Thankfully we are starting to get to a point where integrations do not need to be made as fast (most necessary features are now implemented), so there is going to be way more smoothing out the edges coming up now. Thanks as always for your help and understanding!

Hey all, this is an update that includes a lot of fixes before the next visual release. Here are the changes that were made: - Compact mode now features thumbnails for URLs - Adds a clear option to the search bar - Adjustable thumbnail in compact mode and the ability to disable the vote icons in compact mode (thanks to https://github.com/qoopa for this) - Image animation was tweaked again for your convenience, but it will be reworked here in the near future to act more like Apollo - Posts are now marked as read whenever you view them. They will be grayed out in your feed once they are marked as read. Thanks for the help from https://github.com/ktgd - You can now select the intensity of haptic feedback (thanks to https://github.com/yrahul3910) - There is a font slider to adjust the text size to your liking. No more glasses! - Issues where people couldn't post in communities becuase of a language issue are now fixed. - Comment and post votes now update when you make a vote - Upvote icons and other post action icons are now animated - A very terrible animation for comments (I added it in for testing and have not removed it yet. This will be completed in the next update) This resolves the bulk of bugs that were causing people issues. The next update will be mostly visual changes. Thanks guys!
