Memmy Updated UI and Dark Theme - Apollo Inspired - Lemmy

Feel free to download and test yourself by joining the TestFlight group. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD [https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD] Please leave feedback either here or on GitHub [https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy]. Note this is very much a work in progress still and this is very barebones. I plan to continue work and submit nightly builds on TestFlight, so be on the lookout for the new releases. Happy scrolling!

Glorious!

Memmy was the first app I opened this morning and I happily scrolled through my feed and caught up on the fun things going on. Going to update now and check out the dark UI!

Would love to see a font size switcher. Text on my mini is a bit large for my liking. Thanks for all the work!
I'll add that!

Barebones of the app looks great, but here are some changes/feature requests that should be added (no particular order):

  • Swipe Gesture on Posts.
  • Ability to save media.
  • Add sort by Activity.
  • Add an AMOLED mode.
  • **There’s a thin white line above the Navbar while using dark mode. **
  • Add animations to comment collapsing.
  • Some of the elements are still using Light Mode.
  • Better reply UI. -Ability to see your own profile.

Also, thank you for the app!

All great ideas. Will add these to the list. Thanks!

Thanks for the app!

A couple of questions:

  • Is there a setting for your view 18 seconds in where at the top you pick All/Local/Subscribed and below the community? That seems nicer than having the … menu on the right choose the filter
  • You mention dark mode. Is this the only mode or is there a way to switch?
  • What is this licensed under if people want to submit PRs?

Thanks again!

  • I'll be adding some different appearance options later on. This is something I'll add to that list.
  • Currently yes, but I am adding theming support and light mode will be available with that. While I could have just let people use the "native" white look, I think it would be better to add something a little more distinct. But that will be happening soon. Also, you will be able to create your own themes - at first by submitting a PR with the theme you want to add (just ~20 variables to change hex codes for), or later on by actually modifying a file with those hex variables and saving it inside of the app.
  • MIT license. Contributions are welcome! Already gotten a few PRs, including for TOTP support (which appears to be coming in 0.18.1 I believe).
  • The UI is much better than Mlem, but switching accounts in mlem is much easier. You might want to have a list of your accounts to switching instances easier.

    Just a heads up,

    Hyperlinks are dark blue. It’s very hard to read the address against the dark grey backgrounds.

    As well, the pop-up keyboard when commenting is a “light” theme and doesn’t match the rest of the dark mode.

    Yep, that's Apollo-inspired for sure! Gonna check it out later. I tried using the other iOS client, Mlem, and I understand that it's still very early in development, and no disrespect to the Dev, but I just can't use it efficiently.

    Are there any others (for iOS specifically) currently being developed?

    Installed it just a little while ago and really enjoy how stable it is. As someone who used Apollo daily, I already feel at home with this app.

    As for feedback, I don’t have many suggestions to add at the minute that hasn’t already been posted here. The only thing that comes to mind for me (if possible) is swipe options for posts and comments. (E. G. Swipe right to reply and swipe left to upvote/downvote, etc). Can’t wait to see future updates!

    Swipe for posts is on the way!
