I’m gonna miss wefwef honestly, the name really grew on me.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's like woofwoof but for those with a weird lisp.

[–] ugh@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I loved the name so much. It stood out from the other apps.

Haha, vger, like in Star Trek. Love it.

[–] lorax@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I am not an artist but a nod to either vger in Star Trek or to the Voyager series would be awesome. Like a lemming with a borg eye piece or something.

What made you switch the name? I always felt wefwef pretty cool and less risky to run into copyright/trademark problems than with your new name.

However: Fantastic app, I will stay!

[–] cpp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I agree, the old name was more fun.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Went to wefwef.app, started using it on iOS and added it to my homescreen. Turns out, the name was voyager instead of wefwef. You can imagine I was very confused about it before doing some digging.

[–] nix@merv.news 11 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Will Voyager be available in app stores?

I love the new app name, thanks for helping me not need to type WefWef except for this one last time. You absolutely rock!

You guys also fixed the long post bugs today. Totally impressed.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m glad you appreciate that bug fix! It took all day to fix.

Web apps controlling on-screen keyboards cross platform is really difficult, unfortunately!

[–] Jeff@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Really do think you’re closest to Apollo. Think only haptics is missing and that’s crazy given how short of a time you’ve been at it. Great work!!

You guys are kicking some serious ass with the updates and features.

I moved back to android off ios and the only real app I missed was apollo, so this is really scratching that itch!

I am still looking forward to sync for lemmy, but honestly with the rate that this is being worked on with this passion, I may just have to stick with weyager

[–] J12@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you so much for allowing blocking of communities and fading post that I’ve already read. It’s incredible how quickly you’ve given us updates and made Lemmy my go to over the last couple weeks. But the last couple updates have been amazing!

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Of course! I'm glad you're enjoying it! πŸ’™

[–] mancy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Congrats!

I’m switching back and forth between wefwef and Memmy and I wish you the best!

Still hoping to customize swipe actions and a read indicator. The latter is already nicely implemented in Memmy.

I’m very excited about all the development of these apps. Thank you for all your hard work!

[–] Cullen@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It'll be a weird change, but it's a great name!

[–] zos_kia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's kind of generic though isn't it? I liked wefwef it was pretty fun

[–] ugh@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly, the name was a big reason I downloaded it, along with how active the developers have been. I keep forgetting the names of the other apps. Wefwef stood out, along with the cute mouse.

It seems like the users are happy with the name change, and I'm excited for the devs to be working on their finished concept.

[–] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do I need to change anything? I still have a PWA icon on my home screen called wefwef. Will that still get updates? Will it eventually change to voyager?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You can keep it and you will still get updates, but PWAs will keep the same old icon and name until/if you remove and re-add to homescreen

[–] onde@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmmm... Voyager.... Great name !

[–] serverless@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is anything changing for the docker version of the app?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe the package name? Not sure how GitHub handles that

This is a much better name. I love the reference to Apollo.

Although, saying wefwef was fun.

[–] relevant_ace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the blocking feature. Needed that so badly.

Shame about the name cos I thought it made it unique but here's to Vger!

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uh, this is awkward. I still have Voyager the crypto app that went bankrupt installed.

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

You'll be up to Voyager 6 before you know it!

[–] Spectator@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Congrats. I love how every time I log on, there's a new update to wefwe-Voyager.

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

It's a real treat for Upgrade Whores like me!!

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

It’ll always be wefwef in our hearts.

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

Anyone have any idea why when I try to log in it, it says "email not verified. Request a new verification email" or something along those lines? I don't even know how to request that verification email.

I have been able to log into Lemmy through the website on my desktop, but have not been able to log in through any of the apps (wefwef, Connect and another one that starts with J). I get similar error messages on all of them even though I can clearly post here on my desktop. I have changed my password at least 4 times now thinking maybe it was too complex. I have triple checked my password when typing it into the app. It says "lemmy.world" at the top of the page here, so I am going to assure that's the Instance I am supposed to pick. I don't know what else I might be doing wrong.

Any account based in lemmy.world lemmy.blahaj.zone should be assumed to be hacked. Be careful of any links or images posted by such accounts.

[–] GrossGhost@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And I still can't log into my lemmy.world account through this. Still not a big deal since I'm waiting for sync, but I don't get it. The same credentials work everywhere else.

By the way is the name referring to a certain star trek movie?

I will forever remember this as wefwef
