FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Toolbar buttons should scroll to top on second tap (self.mlemapp)

For UI consistency, tapping the Feed button after you’re already in the Feed View should scroll to the top of the feed. That’s what similar apps do (like tapping the News button in Apple News).

If you’re worried about accidental taps, pressing it a second time should take you back to where you were in the feed.

The other toolbar buttons should work similarly. If you’re in the Inbox and you tap a comment, tapping Inbox should take you back to the main inbox. Tapping Inbox when you’re already in the inbox should scroll to the top of the Inbox (if you’re not there already).

We've been working on it. A simple tap to jump to the top is pretty easy--things get tricky when you start adding complications like "jump back into the feed" or "navigate up a level," which require a more sophisticated architecture from the ground up. It is in active development, though, so we hope to have a prototype out soon enough.

I've just had the quickest of glances through the code. Is the gesture for opening the user switcher the only reason for reimplementing the tab bar? It sound's like you're rebuilding a lot of functionality that you get for free (iirc) with the native tab bar.

Unfortunately the system (SwiftUI) tab bar doesn’t come with this behaviour for some reason.
