This week I'm having @christianselig back on the show to give @apolloapp a Post-Mortem, rehash Third Party APIs, and talk about our favorite Pals.
Have any questions for Christian? Let us know.

Any hope for an Apollo for Lemmy? What would be your deciding factors?

Voyager is good but Apollo was the best

Let’s give it time then… it updates so fast and I have tried it in both iOS and Android and it is very nice.

Voyager will never be as good as Apollo, due to the fact that it is a web app, and Apollo was a native iOS App coded in Swift. Don’t get me wrong, I use Voyager and like it, but this is the truth of the matter. It can get close, but it just can’t do what Apollo could.

Voyager is no longer a web app only now, it has a full fledged iOS app version now and it's smooth as butter.

The iOS app version is just a fancier packed version of the PWA. Still has same problems, even though it is slightly faster now.

When is this dropping? Would love to hear this.

The only question I have is what’s next for Christian?

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He did post a beans wallpaper recently … ? Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come.

[–] leogdion@c.im 1 points 1 year ago

@Kettellkorn probably around the 22nd

Still waiting. Please post soon
