Based heavily on the abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.
Written in Flutter, so although it's only available for iPhone and iPad right now, it does run on macOS and Android so releases for those platforms may be on their way.
I will be releasing the source once the app has gone through this beta testing phase.
Let me know here of any issues or in the TestFlight build (long press on the icon). Once I've opened the source we can start using GitHub to track issues.
KNOWN ISSUES:
The app occasionally forgets who you are and mistakenly nags you to log in when trying to comment or vote.
Developers: interested in helping out? Experienced with Mobx, Provider and Freezed? Let me know!
Features:
Full featured for end users
Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode
Multiple accounts on multiple servers
Localisation (work in progress)
Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities)
Very excited to test this out! Always good to have more options. Just started but already I’m liking the search function and the general look to the app. I’ll continue testing and let you know what I think!
Edit: Okay I’m really impressed. The account tab is awesome. Is there a discord for this app yet? You should make one if not and link it so we can join. I’ll be watching development of this app very closely, this looks extremely promising
Edit 2: Yeah I know how annoying multiple edits is, sorry. Anyway, just wanted to chime in with a couple suggestions. First of all, in the AMOLED dark mode, I feel the posts could be separated like they are in standard dark mode, with the same grey shade as with the footer (whatever it’s called). Right now, with the AMOLED mode it’s hard to tell two separate bodies apart from each other just by quickly looking at them. Second, default sorting modes could be improved. I’d suggest separate sorting for posts and comments (so for example, default sorting posts by hot/day with default sorting of comments in a post by top rated and default sorting of comments on a profile page to new).
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not a Discord user so I'll stick with this community for the moment. If that changes, I'll be looking for advice on how to proceed 😉
I just had a look at the AMOLED mode and see what you mean. I'll have a play about with that theme and see what I can do.
I understand the point about sorting. I'm still trying to get my head around it so keep watching!
I wish you the best of luck! Of the three apps I’ve tried, this one has had the most promising initial build
Yes, it's a shame that Lemmur got abandoned just as Lemmy's time was coming.
Memmy looks extremely promising now too, they’ve got some cool stuff coming as well. Mlem seems to have been lagging behind now compared to the competition, though it’s also got some cool features on the horizon. Things are looking good for Lemmy!
Yes, I think they will be adding features at quote a pace for a while now, while I just want to ensure that Limbo is robust enough for everyday use as my first priority. Looking reasonably good from the feedback so far, though there is some work to do.
It’s a very pretty app to be sure. Lots of functionality as well. I have high hopes for you!
