2 Edit: Ok back up as .79

Edit: Expired .78 because of a super annoying keyboard autofocus on the traverse page. Releasing .79 in about 5 minutes.

Hey all! Here are this version's changes:

  • Fix infinite spinning on profile page
  • Images that also have a post body now show both
  • Fixed duplicate NSFW setting
  • Keyboard for search now includes "@" for easy access
  • Sign in/sign up screens now include "." for easy access as well
  • Onboarding screen should render correctly on all devices
  • You can save posts now. They will be synced with your Lemmy account. You can view them on your profile page
  • All of your subscriptions will now show up and you can search through them. Also a more attractive and easy way to access them
  • Default Active search was added to settings
  • Settings was moved to profile. We will revisit this if it's a user issue (i.e. people can't find it, you guys don't like it, etc.)
  • Issue with communities having an "infinite render" are fixed

We're getting there!

Happy scrolling!

Looks awesome! Thank you! Any sense of when this is coming to the App Store or proposed pricing structure?

Best of luck! My addiction from Reddit to Lemmy has been seamless thanks to Memmy.

[–] Seven@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

What a world to be alive with those lightspeed releases!

[–] madmax722@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

bro you are a legend. the speed these updates come out is ridiculous

[–] shenandoah@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, this is great! And at last all my subscriptions show up! Great work!

[–] HolyHell@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The keyboard opening on the traverse page is quite annoying, especially since there’s already a search page that does that. Other than that it’s great.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This was a mistake. New build is already building...

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

Can you shed some light on what the traverse button should do?

When I click it, it’s just blank with a search box at the top.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Subscribe to some communities and they will show up there. It’s going to have a bit more stuff like trending and whatnot, not a fully complete feature yet.

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

Ah. If any other users have this issue, close and reopen the app and they will be there.

Loving the app so far!!!!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yea, you can pull to refresh there too. I should have made it more clear with a placeholder, just didn’t do it because I have some other plans for it. Sorry bout that.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check the new version. Sorry about that, didn't even notice. Simulator doesn't display the keyboard.

[–] HolyHell@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Wow that was quick, cheers. I’ve noticed that the keyboard auto focuses on the search page as well except for the first time you click on the search page after opening the app.

Not sure what the intended behaviour is but I assume it’s not that. It would be good if it auto focused when the page is blank but not when you’ve already searched something.

Don’t rush changing that though since it’s a lot less annoying than the traverse bug.

Thanks again.

Was the issue of GIFs marked NSFW playing behind the blur fixed? This also causes performance issues as the app stutters.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Ok I built the bundle to upload then saw this. Let me fix it real quick before I upload. Thanks for the reminder.

Edit: Done and rebuilding.

[–] Scooter411@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

My god you’re awesome.

[–] Spitfire@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Best dev, rivaling Christian with Apollo here.

[–] jmsw22@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

The amount of work that you guys get through is incredible.

[–] ebits21@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The traverse tab doesn’t update subscriptions when you select a second account.

Just fyi.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meh, why wait hours when you can do it now. Fixed and updated.

[–] ebits21@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’re on fire.

I still get the weird double refresh profile thing happening.

I’ve also had the subscription list add double entries a few times but not sure what is triggering it. Once it mixed subscriptions from both accounts.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I think all of those are fixed now. Ironed out quite a few bugs in the last update.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve got another update coming in a few hours. It’ll be fixed. Thanks.

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

You are doing awesome work. I hope you make lots of money or benefit greatly for all your efforts!

Is there a way to sort comments on posts? I would love to be able to sort them by new or top.

Thanks again for your impressive output. Memmy is such a quality app.

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

sorting comments is what i’m hoping for too

very useful for game threads on sporting events so I can refresh and see al the newest comments immediately

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I started using Memmy a few days ago and haven’t looked back. OP, you need a tip jar.

Question: in-line links don’t seem to be working for me. This is all I see when I try to use it:

Down the line, would love a profile specific NSFW filter…for science.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Totally not necessary but it's here if you insist.

Um, I don't actually see anything that you linked there. Did you mean to post an image?

And yea, that's something I am thinking of.

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, thats what I meant to post since it’s what I see.

e.g. Example when I try to use it

*nevermind, seems I was doing it wrong.

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

Awesome update! Keep up the good work

I am mostly excited about Saved now working. My only question is: Is there a way to recover locally saved items before this update? Are they saved to a file/database on my phone?

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

Every time I comment using memmy, the default score is +2 (2 upvotes), is that intended? Because on other client, it's +1

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Not intended and will be fixed in the next release.

[–] NuclearNoggin@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

thanks for these consistently awesome quality updates

[–] easydnesto@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noticed a few things:

  • The star for subscribed Lenny communities in the top right on the feed is missing on my device
  • while the @ was a great addition it appears that the search button is now no longer there

There were both present in build 75 but disappeared in 78

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Fixed the later issue for now just by reverting. I'll have to do something a bit different, couldn't use the standard Twitter keyboard type.

As for the former, I am experimenting with using the Traverse page for this instead. I'll be adding some other features there such as trending.

If people hate it, I'll switch it back. If it's mixed, I'll do both. Just want to see what user feedback is here and go from there. It's totally not something set in stone.

[–] shenandoah@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can‘t set the default sorting type to new.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The default setting is for app launch. You can select the sort of the current session from the icon at the top.

It might be worth updating this automatically though once a user changes the setting, I’ll add this to the list.

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Is it possible to add the ability to tap the post text to collapse it, in the same way I can collapse comments

and for a premium feature once that comes out I’d like to be able to customize the icons used in the action bar at the bottom

[–] v3ritas 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can i ask a stupid question?

I've compiled & installed iOS applications before, but this must be the first with yarn. I can get it running on my physical device, but it looks like it needs the dev server running. I even went in & set it to be a Release instead of Debug, but no luck

Any chance someone can point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can open the project in Xcode to do prod builds. Open up Xcode then open up the “ios” directory from the cloned project.

Edit: you’ll need to do this first:

cd ios && pod install

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No problem! If you have problems join the Discord and @ me. I’m doing some grilling today for the holiday so I’ll be on a little later than usual.

Also for the record I expect this to be on the App Store tomorrow. It should have been today but I assume they are not working with the holiday.

[–] v3ritas 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, even better if it will be on the store. I may still play around with it today anyway, just to get more used to XCode. Would love to be able to start building some simple apps &. work my way up.

I wouldn't want to bother you with simple questions, especially while you're enjoying the holiday.

I hope you're enjoying your grilling!

[–] Gellis12@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are we supposed to be able to vote on comments yet? It just collapses the comment for me when I try to hit the upvote or downvote buttons.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Use the swipe gesture. From right to left.

[–] Gellis12@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Ooh, thanks!

[–] mikeboltonshair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Speaking of that can you add an option to disable tap to collapse?

And while I’m asking where should we post for app suggestions?
