TestFlight for Voyager

Cool! Installed it to replace the PWA. Nice work!

What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:

• haptics are nice
• status bar tap is very welcome
• the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
• browser appear animation is really nice
• the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
• nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)

I can't believe how quickly you work. You're a legend. I can't wait for the Android app.

Jealous of iOS users! Looking forward to Android release!

Works great so far!

to those curious, the download is only 14 megabytes and its silky smooth and appears much faster to me. it didn't remember my settings from the wefwef pwa. submitting posts and comments and votes so far all work perfectly for me.

this thing is a release candidate in my eyes.

This is awesome. Everything’s great except anytime I try to save an image to my photos it crashes

Bug:

Tapped on the OP in the thread below to collapse it, and end up getting the whole app shifted up/offscreen, and the comments cut off below.

so awesome, since memmy became very unstable.

Just found one curiosity, if you post something new it would be great if it opens the keyboard directly. At the moment you still have to do an additional tap to on the comment area to bring up the keyboard!

Otherwise amazing work!

Got it and am posting this from the app. Well done!

Wait so this is now an actual app? Genuine question!

If so that’s cool!

This probably is a nich feature, but is it possible to get deeplinks (example voyager://inbox or voyager://vger.app/inbox/unread)?

Swiping back instead of accidentally upvoting is much better here than the web app.

Wohoo!

That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.

There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.

I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?

Edit: the reply bug where when you reply to a comment, the comment thread shows in the reply area is still present.

Question and I'm sorry I missed it if it has come up before. Once the native app is released, do you plan to continue development of the PWA? I love the PWA and love that it can be self-hosted.

Holy shit, it's real!

I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.

Here we go!

I noticed there's no version number in settings compared to the PWA.

Awesome! But can you please have an .ipa available for download on GitHub, so we don't need to depend on Apple for updates.

Where do we submit feedback? The TestFlight email link is not working for me. Basically my bug report: if you auto fill passwords, validation error reports pwd is empty , unless you manually auto fill both fields separately which beats the purpose of auto fill. Probably unnecessarily early front end validation.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Great work!

Hope you can later share Android APK and have auto-update feature without relying on Playstore.

I notice when I click on a YouTube link in the PWA it opens up in the same window and takes me to the link, but when I click on the same link in the TestFlight app it opens in a separate window. Is that intended?

Have you heard from you early adopters in the delta quadrant?

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!

I'm keeping an icon for the PWA Just In Case though

i just installed it and it’s performing about as well as you would expect on an ipad air 2, but it’s definitely more smooth than the pwa. swipe gestures especially feel more responsive and smooth for some reason. i’ll replace the pwa on my home screen for now and report any issues i find. (if i find any at all, it seems to be working very well.)

Woot.

Great work! I love having Voyager as a separate app on macOS.

Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.

Amazing! So happy to use this.

One issue I’ve noticed: seems like there is a very short tap delay, most noticeable on the tap bar.

Just installed to test it, thanks! One thing I immediately noticed is that in compact mode, I keep on accidentally downvoting posts when trying to open them. We can already upvote/downvote using arrows on the right side so I think it would be better to just open the post when tapping anywhere on the post title. Great work and I’m loving how snappy it is, and I’m also using the memmy and mlem betas.

But what about my wefwef web app?

Can I still keep it because I think it might be worth something as a vintage web app to show off in 5+ years time.

The app seems to work great ! Thank you !

By the way if you don’t mind. What programming language are you using? Is it swift UI?

Is this the PWA with added features? If not is there a plan to make a version that isn’t one?

Hey @aeharding

I found a bug but neither a screenshot nor a video would show it. Let me explain:

I opened a post in this community (title: Can’t save images by long pressing) that was short and had very few comments, making the entire content fit exactly inside the screen, almost exactly. On a regular/longer post, I can pull to refresh, but in this case it seems like scrolling is completely disabled. No matter how much I try to swipe up or down, the whole thing is static. it works in the PWA, though.

I also think it’s lacking a bit of padding between the last comment and the tabs at the bottom, but that’s also happening in the PWA, so I guess it’s not app related.

Great work overall! Hope this helps

Thank you for the status bar tap feature!

One thing I noticed is that the "Back" button does not always work on the posts tab, it just alternates between "Home", "All" and "Local" instead of actually taking me to the page where all my subscriptions are listed.

Edit: Actually I meant the "Communities" button, and the bug only happens when I’ve previously used the drop-down list to switch between either of "Home", "All" or "Local".

Does the native app proxy through your server like the PWA, or does it connect directly with the instance? Thanks for all your work on this!

I’ve been using the PWA version of Voyager for the last month, and today I’ve experimented with the new Test Flight app.

I have just two words of feedback:

Nailed it.

Oooh joined! Big fan of Voyager, the app is working well so far! Just a question, when will push nofications be implemented?

Is it me? Or does “mark read on scroll” seems to be broken? Worked fine in the wpa — for me the most awesome feature voyager has

If I want to save a photo the app crashes.

Edit: safe from the app to my iPhone.

Thanks, feels very smooth!

I’m excited to try it out! Now I just have to find a good place for it on my Home Screen.

Just found a bug, not sure if it’s already been reported: if the comment thread is longer than I think like 4 posts, when I click “x more comments” it doesn’t actually open the rest of the thread.

Great work! Would it be possible to have the app or even the PWA support 120fps gestures such as on the back swipe gesture on devices with ProMotion?
