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!

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

[–] Jpopy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

[–] Majima@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Not intended and will be fixed in the next release.

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

What a world to be alive with those lightspeed releases!

[–] v3ritas@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year 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!

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

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@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year 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!

Can this thread be unstickied?

[–] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe consider unpinning this one :)

[–] tksdks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hello! This app is great so far. Just downloaded from the App Store. I was wondering if there’s a way to import the JSON file exported from Apollo, similar to how wefwef.app works? Thanks for all your hard work!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For posts that have links to external websites, how do I follow the link?

I just clicked https://lemmy.world/post/1078414, and for some reason I can't figure out how to follow the link to read the actual story.

[–] somnuz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for all your great work! The overall feeling of this app is getting better and better, and it gradually and slowly became my main one.

This pains me but for me this is the worst update in terms of stability, yet it might totally be a me problem — I am using 6s (15.7.7) if this helps anyhow.

What I mean by stability, 80% of the time everything is great, then a random crash, on any screen — earlier this happened once or twice actually, now since the update, once per hour.

Other thing, without crashing — just a freeze for a few seconds, at the beginning when I just tried to tap things as I thought my input just did not register somehow, after few seconds it opened posts or menus multiple times in a row.

Sometimes the image viewer behaves strangely or even soft locks me in a loop of having a tiny image from my compact list view hovering over the full screen view and on tap it is just dancing around the screen while changing opacities of the images, other images sometimes disappear completely in the list view and the full screen image starts changing positions too — like it tries to put a left top corner of the image in the center of the screen or just a half of the image to the left, right or bottom.

I was testing Thunder app too and what would be a great addition from my perspective is another list type, they are using a full width pictures but in different proportions and trimming the main picture — it felt different and fresh.

Overall Apollo force is strong in Memmy (maybe Orbit or Orion soon from what I saw in a different post) — a new list view design(s) could be a great spin that would make this app stand out a little more on its own as it definitely deserves to!

Another tiny but quite a big thing for me would be a gesture for the long right to left swipe after “comment” to add a post or a comment to favorites — the option to change their order eventually would be great too.

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

What version is it? There were some problems recently but they have been cleaned up. Are you on 0.3?

Never mind, obviously you are on 0.3 if you have the image viewer (and yes it’s a work in progress which is why it’s rough around the edges).

Do you have a full crash or is it showing you the little sad face?

[–] somnuz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are quick! I wanted to move this comment to the other post because I think this is the older one. I am on 0.3 — yup.

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

Haha yea I saw that, oops.

I updated the comment too, so just wondering what time of crash it is. If it's a full crash that's pretty odd but if you're getting a sad face, could you send some debug logs?

[–] somnuz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The crash looks like this, a short freeze, app disappears and I am on my home screen, then startup background shows up and app reloads to the main screen.

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

I noticed something earlier today that I figured was actually just a me issue myself during development, but I suppose it could possibly be part of the problem. Weird because I have not heard anything from anyone else having issues, but I also assume that it could be because of the older device and the performance being a bit more lacking on that one (something could be taking longer to render somewhere).

I've been working today on finding and fixing various performance issues, so I'll keep a lookout for that same issue I noticed earlier and it's possible the performance improvements will help with that crash. If it's freezing, it's making me think something is trying to render and might be getting "clogged up".

A hard crash like that too could be some sort of memory warning (although from my own testing the app rarely uses over 100 MB of memory and maxes at about 150 which shouldn't be causing any memory issues even on some older devices). But if it's truly a rendering issue, it might be trying to render something over and over and causing a memory leak. Thanks for pointing it out.

[–] somnuz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If this helps, a few situations for this crashing with a full app restart:

· coming back from a full screen view to a list view

· checking posts in a new community suggested from my main (all) feed to see if I am interested or if I want to block it and then coming back or sometimes just during scrolling thru posts there

· minimizing the app or jumping to safari on a link press and coming back

· once or twice after a miss click to collapse a comment and then clicking it again to reload

· once on giving the up arrow to the post after a miss click on the down arrow

· most basic one, just during scrolling the main (all) feed, the difference here is before the update I had to have Memmy opened for a few days in the background and scroll thru a lot of things on multiple occasions and this happened once or twice, now it can happen after 15 to 45 minutes

[–] Gellis12@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year 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 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Use the swipe gesture. From right to left.

Edit: I get confused…left to right sorry

[–] mikeboltonshair@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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?

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year 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 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] tenth@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year 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?

[–] HolyHell@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 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.

[–] SuburbanHaikuist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I found the keyboard opens when you tap the search bar but it will go away if you tap anywhere else.
