Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app.

The app is very much still a work in progress, but I's like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented:

Screenshots

Already implemented:

  • Anonymous browsing;
  • Login;
  • Multiple accounts support;
  • Account switcher;
  • Post cards
  • Sorting posts by Lemmy's sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc..);
  • Listing posts by Lemmy's listing options (Subscribed/Local/All);
  • Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save;
  • Mark post as read;
  • Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background);

What's next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP):

  • Post view (see post's comments);
  • Add a comment to a post;
  • Create a post;
  • A sexier selected account card on the sidebar;

What's still to do before I can call it a beta version:

  • Profile view;
  • Community view (rules mods other details);
  • Search;
  • Dark mode;

What's to come after:

  • Custom theming/Material You support;
  • Advanced post filters;
  • Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group);
  • A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible;
  • Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc)
  • Other cool misc options.

Dreams:

  • Kbin and Mastodon accounts support.

Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can't promise anything :)

Feel free to suggest names here :)

I like Lemur! Maybe Lemiverse?

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lemur is already the name of a Lemmy app that died :/

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

It was Lemmur, but close enough to not get my vote.

[–] fisco@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmur may well have died, but its being resurrected...

I'll suggest they keep the 'Lemur' name.

[–] miracleorange@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I like Lemiverse. It's a lot more searchable than Lemur and reminds me of the space theme of Infinity with the lil guy in the flying saucer.

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah lemur is a good name. Nice icon with a wee lemur on it maybe ?

[–] NoTime@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

I don't have much of an imagination so I asked Bing AI:

  • LemmyGo: A simple and fast way to access Lemmy on your mobile device.
  • Lemur: A cute and catchy name that plays on the similarity between Lemmy and lemur, a type of primate.
  • Lemo: A sleek and modern name that sounds like a combination of Lemmy and emoji.
  • Lemix: A name that suggests mixing and sharing content on Lemmy.
  • Lemyx: A name that uses an unconventional spelling to stand out from the crowd.

If you wanted to stick to Infinity's space-ish theme, I think Lagrange would fit pretty well (though there is a Gemini browser of the same name)

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or a synonym of Infinity like Boundless or Eternity

[–] emerald@lemmy.place 3 points 1 year ago

Eternity has a nice ring to it 🙏

I like going the lemming related route...

  • Lemmini
  • Lagurus
  • Muskrat

Or in a different direction: Lemmyn. With a yellow citrus 🍋 logo.

Also, Infinity was my most recent Reddit app of choice. I miss it. Really looking forward to testing yours out.

[–] Can_Utility@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

If it’s OK with u/iamthatis, I’d suggest … Mercury (the Roman name for Apollo).

[–] radio@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

How about LeMobile

[–] ramchak@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I vote for LemmyParty

[–] brunofin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you all for your suggestions, as some have suggested above, I think I will probably go with Beyond, as Buzz Lightyear says, "To Infinity and Beyond!", seems like a good way to honor Infinity but also look at the future beyond.

[–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

How about drawing name inspiration from infinity as well and altering Ouroboros the eternal self-eating serpent.

You might call it Lemmoboros and the logo could be something like this:
