What a world to be alive with those lightspeed releases!

Looks awesome! Thank you! Any sense of when this is coming to the App Store or proposed pricing structure?
- We will see what happens

The amount of work that you guys get through is incredible.

Wow, this is great! And at last all my subscriptions show up! Great work!

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.
- This was a mistake. New build is already building...
  
  Can you shed some light on what the traverse button should do?
  When I click it, it’s just blank with a search box at the top.
- Check the new version. Sorry about that, didn't even notice. Simulator doesn't display the keyboard.
  
  Wow that was quick, cheers. I’ve noticed that the keyboard auto focuses on the search page as well except for the first time you click on the search page after opening the app.
  Not sure what the intended behaviour is but I assume it’s not that. It would be good if it auto focused when the page is blank but not when you’ve already searched something.
  Don’t rush changing that though since it’s a lot less annoying than the traverse bug.
  Thanks again.
- I found the keyboard opens when you tap the search bar but it will go away if you tap anywhere else.

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

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?

Was the issue of GIFs marked NSFW playing behind the blur fixed? This also causes performance issues as the app stutters.
- Ok I built the bundle to upload then saw this. Let me fix it real quick before I upload. Thanks for the reminder.
  Edit: Done and rebuilding.
  
  My god you’re awesome.
  
  Best dev, rivaling Christian with Apollo here.

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.
- 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.
  
  Yeah, thats what I meant to post since it’s what I see.
  e.g. Example when I try to use it
  *nevermind, seems I was doing it wrong.

Every time I comment using memmy, the default score is +2 (2 upvotes), is that intended? Because on other client, it's +1
- Not intended and will be fixed in the next release.

Test

You are doing awesome work. I hope you make lots of money or benefit greatly for all your efforts!
Is there a way to sort comments on posts? I would love to be able to sort them by new or top.
Thanks again for your impressive output. Memmy is such a quality app.
- sorting comments is what i’m hoping for too
  very useful for game threads on sporting events so I can refresh and see al the newest comments immediately

The traverse tab doesn’t update subscriptions when you select a second account.
Just fyi.
- Meh, why wait hours when you can do it now. Fixed and updated.
  
  You’re on fire.
  I still get the weird double refresh profile thing happening.
  I’ve also had the subscription list add double entries a few times but not sure what is triggering it. Once it mixed subscriptions from both accounts.
- I’ve got another update coming in a few hours. It’ll be fixed. Thanks.

thanks for these consistently awesome quality updates

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.

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!

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
  
  Thanks so much!!

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.
- Use the swipe gesture. From right to left.
  
  Ooh, thanks!
  
  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?

I can‘t set the default sorting type to new.
- The default setting is for app launch. You can select the sort of the current session from the icon at the top.
  It might be worth updating this automatically though once a user changes the setting, I’ll add this to the list.

Can this thread be unstickied?

Maybe consider unpinning this one :)

Noticed a few things:
The star for subscribed Lenny communities in the top right on the feed is missing on my device
while the @ was a great addition it appears that the search button is now no longer there
There were both present in build 75 but disappeared in 78
- Fixed the later issue for now just by reverting. I'll have to do something a bit different, couldn't use the standard Twitter keyboard type.
  As for the former, I am experimenting with using the Traverse page for this instead. I'll be adding some other features there such as trending.
  If people hate it, I'll switch it back. If it's mixed, I'll do both. Just want to see what user feedback is here and go from there. It's totally not something set in stone.

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.
- 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?
  
  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.
