Official community for Mlem, a free and open-source iOS Lemmy client.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
FAQ
- When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
- Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
- How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
- How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Yea, usually in open source projects, project management gets ignored more than it necessarily should.
A roadmap detailing goals and outlining MVPs would be very helpful to developer, albeit it can take away from the excitement of not done correctly. Determining low hanging fruit and work that is good for new contributors early one can make a big difference. Allowing those with seniority to tackle the important and hard core featureset while still getting fixes and small improvements out the door.
Pretty much, yes.
I always see this very basic not helpful feature request and wonder why people think that the devs don‘t know about shortcomings in a pre-release testflight software and why some (few) people think that entitled nagging makes this community more likeable and the devs work more passionate 😂
I think people are just getting excited.
I don't think it's an issue as long as people don't start demanding things as if the software was automatically trash without whatever feature. If something being missing affects you so personally, just fork it or pay some devs to do it for you. It's free and open source software after all!
And what's more, devs can make pull requests to kbins git repo. So if you're a dev and you want to see certain features, write them.
But then I have to write PHP or JavaScript...
I mean, if you're a programmer, language shouldn't matter as long as you can think logically. After that it's all just syntax.
No user is ever going to ask for a "quick pay" feature. That's such a corporate thing to implement to incentivize users to purchase as conveniently as possible
I think the comic was originally meant as business people requesting features from their PMs. It's just a light-hearted joke :)
