I’m looking for new apps to try out. I have a soft spot for apps that are written in Swift or at least follow Apple’s HIG. I’m also curious to know what you use these apps for!

Paprika? Or other good Recipe apps? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world
Would love to see this selection grow based on the many entries we saw earlier in c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world

[Feature Request] Compact mode for comments (lemmy.world)
 

I feel that comment section has too much excess space even with user logos, etc disabled. Compact mode for posts is perfect. I would love to have the same for comments.

For comparison on my iPhone mini screen, 7 comments on Voyager fits in the space that 4 comments on Mlem does

I hate to say it but the options are a bit disappointing. I wish the top community upvoted submission was considered:

What's your favorite third-party app that integrates beautifully design-wise with your native iOS/Android apps? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Lemuroid and Libretube are good examples. I personally think they’re beautiful and match great with stock (Google) Android Material Design

What are some cool niche applications you use and recommend? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Liftin (iOS, watchOS) is a new one I discovered recently. It looks and feels like an extension of the Apple Workouts app geared towards strength training

I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. Apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) for example rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS apps

It seems that many popular mobile apps have their own design language. Though may be pretty in their own right, I like consistency between my apps

To give an example, one of my favorite is Liftin (iOS). The dev did a great job making it feel like an extension of the native Apple Workouts app
