Also if you run Android and aren't on 1.9.0 yet, upgrade! There's some fixes for Android too :)


1.9.1 fixes some annoying iOS UX, specifically:

  • Swipe back should no longer interfere with the post/comment swipe options.
  • Swipe back should complete faster which means the first gesture should be missed much less often!

This was possible because I have temporarily forked Ionic. I plan on making PRs back to Ionic so we can get off this custom fork soon, but in the meantime, enjoy! 💙

Swiping has been my biggest pain point for some time now, if that’s actually gone that’s awesome news, thanks for you effort :)

Edit: after using it for some time I can confidently say that it‘s definitely a lot better!

[–] Fluid@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago

Finally! I can switch swiping on comments back on again

Typical timing as I’d just disabled the swipes as they kept interfering!

Awesome work

I like the new mint color too. More muted than the other ultra saturated ones. Could we get more pastel/muted color selection?

Edit: also the one feature I’m missing is hold user at the bottom to swap account.

Memmy and Voyager/Wefwef are developing two variations on an amazing theme (Apollo). Fantastic work, devs :)

[–] We1chy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does this mean in the future we could get swipe to go back from anywhere on the screen?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, full screen swipe is just a matter of time.

[–] We1chy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome! That’s the only thing missing that’ll make this app 100% great in my eyes, it’s already 99% there. Appreciate all your hard work.

BUG: swiping left the home page doesn’t take you to the communities anymore

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It never really did. Only once you manually tap back then it’s loaded into memory and you can swipe back. It’s annoying, but it’s been like this the whole time

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

Oh wow. I never realized that.

The scrolling & navigation were already silky smooth, the last couple of updates have even improved the experience further....delicious app..

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome update, thank you!

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the functionality is there, I can’t find it.. but any way we can get the ability to long press to save/share a video via say a text message, without it being a link back to Lemmy?

Great app.. thanks

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

Videos, I'm not sure... But photos/gifs you can from the photo viewer.

@aeharding@lemmy.world Are there any plans to improve the current markdown support?

Currently, it seems that ~~strike through~~ and

escondidospoiler text
aren’t working at all, on Voyager (didn’t test all of them).

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

Yes, there's plans for better support!

Unfortunately Lemmy uses a bespoke spoiler format that's hard to parse with the Markdown library we're using. I spent a day on that a month ago and gave up. I'll try again at some point.

[–] Tick_Dracy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I see, thanks for taking that into account. I understand the spoiler part is tricky because I usually type markdown without the GUI, but I’m not able to do it myself for the spoiler type (it seems it even uses the language or some strings to do it, because the : characters aren’t enough) 🤣

I’m not sure if the issue on your end is related to the spoiler being something like a collapsed span or something like that. How feasible would be if you were able to interpret everything between ::: ::: as spoiler and do it differently from Lemmy? (Maybe just hide the text).

But the strike through seems to me the typical markdown that I use on Obsidian, so it should be simple, I guess…

You are my hero

Bug in critical third party’s library and you don’t know when it will get fixed? Fork the bugger, and fix it yourself. This is the way. Great job!
