Also if you run Android and aren't on 1.9.0 yet, upgrade! There's some fixes for Android too :)


1.9.1 fixes some annoying iOS UX, specifically:

  • Swipe back should no longer interfere with the post/comment swipe options.
  • Swipe back should complete faster which means the first gesture should be missed much less often!

This was possible because I have temporarily forked Ionic. I plan on making PRs back to Ionic so we can get off this custom fork soon, but in the meantime, enjoy! 💙

Swiping has been my biggest pain point for some time now, if that’s actually gone that’s awesome news, thanks for you effort :)

Edit: after using it for some time I can confidently say that it‘s definitely a lot better!

Finally! I can switch swiping on comments back on again

Typical timing as I’d just disabled the swipes as they kept interfering!

Awesome work

I like the new mint color too. More muted than the other ultra saturated ones. Could we get more pastel/muted color selection?

Edit: also the one feature I’m missing is hold user at the bottom to swap account.

Does this mean in the future we could get swipe to go back from anywhere on the screen?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, full screen swipe is just a matter of time.

[–] We1chy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Awesome! That’s the only thing missing that’ll make this app 100% great in my eyes, it’s already 99% there. Appreciate all your hard work.

Memmy and Voyager/Wefwef are developing two variations on an amazing theme (Apollo). Fantastic work, devs :)

The scrolling & navigation were already silky smooth, the last couple of updates have even improved the experience further....delicious app..

BUG: swiping left the home page doesn’t take you to the communities anymore

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It never really did. Only once you manually tap back then it’s loaded into memory and you can swipe back. It’s annoying, but it’s been like this the whole time

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh wow. I never realized that.

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome update, thank you!

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If the functionality is there, I can’t find it.. but any way we can get the ability to long press to save/share a video via say a text message, without it being a link back to Lemmy?

Great app.. thanks

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Videos, I'm not sure... But photos/gifs you can from the photo viewer.

You are my hero

Bug in critical third party’s library and you don’t know when it will get fixed? Fork the bugger, and fix it yourself. This is the way. Great job!
