Here's some cool app store screenshots of the app:
Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I've had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.
I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!
Thank you, Sigve Rokenes
Also, as the developer of Lemmios, it is somewhat negligence on my part (not saying this is true for any of the other app developers, just me), we all google when we code and generally the newer features make things much easier so it is really hard to google older features since they are harder to implement and get quite buried. I also think for me at least my apps start as passion projects I don't really expect anyone to use so I forget that iOS versions under my current one exist lol, it's a lot easier to start on 16.0 and stay on 16.0 forever than go lower after the project has started, sorry.
