Still fighting with Apple...unfortunately today's rejection was an invalid one. The reviewer somehow "missed" the entirety of the conversation with the last one, and didn't realize that everything that was requested had been implemented and resolved...

I've submitted a response to that as well as escalated it to an appeal. Hopefully today we will hear something back.

Here are the changes made in this version:

  • Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link
  • Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link
  • The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space
  • Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd)
  • All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd)
  • The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose)
  • Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance
  • All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible)
  • Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit)
  • Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode
  • Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice
  • Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) should be fixed
  • Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed
  • Blur respects the current theme
  • Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote
  • Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile
  • Performance improvements in the feed
  • Performance improvements in comments
  • Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash
  • Performance improvements in profile
  • Performance improvements in inbox

The next update should include post deletion/editing as well as the remainder of the missing items in the inbox. Additionally, we have a much better slider available now for comments/posts voting so we will be implementing that.

Thanks! Happy scrolling!

Hey man I just want to say thanks for all your hardwork. Memmy is so far the best lemmy browser for me.

[–] sudo_shinespark 29 points 1 year ago

You’re a machine, man. We appreciate all the hard work. Memmy is awesome

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Really great job. I'm testing out all the new apps and I keep coming back to Memmy! My favorite so far

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro thank you for all the work you do. This app feels like home after Apollo, and I’m absolutely loving seeing it organically get better day by day, with features I’ve personally requested. What is your preferred method of donation??

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Totally not necessary, but I’d you insist there a buy me a coffee

As I am writing this I just noticed I have the link and label options reversed for the link markdown prompts…knock down one bug, create another! 🤣

[–] mikeboltonshair 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just donated, are you gonna have a subscription based option?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m going to tag on here…

At some point I guess push notifications are going to be a feature request which will need backend infrastructure, as was the cost to Apollo.

I’ll happily pony up on subscriptions if that’s the case.

When Apollo launched the feature it was with the option for lifetime. Don’t do that! Well do do that and I’ll take advantage but one would be betting in the future.

[–] mikeboltonshair 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did the same with Apollo, I bought the lifetime pass but I would do donations every so often too, as long as an app is maintained I have no probs paying for it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought Ultra lifetime as well and always felt guilty for the ongoing costs.

[–] mikeboltonshair 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He did add new users under the monthly subscriptions, I’m fairly sure he made good money from the app so I wouldn’t feel too bad when he shut the app down the refunds were gonna be like $250k. Besides there was always the option for tips still too.

This is why I’ve brought it up early, this app is off to an amazing start so I’d like to support it and keep it going.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’m sure he made good money and I did tip occasionally to be fair.

I’m with you on this 100%. If the app is as good as everyone says then monthly subs to drive dev and actually make the dev an income, like Christian did, has to be the way to go. 👍🏻

Gotta say I think Memmy is looking the most promising for iOS. Appreciate you being extremely active and responsive!

Have you thought about reaching out to existing Reddit client developers for collaborations or endorsements to increase user migration? May go a long way

[–] OptimalAutomation 7 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for pumping out these changes. Loving the app so far ❤️

[–] nocturne213 4 points 1 year ago

Appreciate the work you have put into this for the community. I am still bouncing between apps to see which I like the best, but Memmy is in the lead currently.

[–] Bird_Lawyer 3 points 1 year ago

Now that I fixed the profile page bug, this app is ticking all of the boxes for me. Thank you for your hard work!

[–] afoutopatisa 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks man!!!! Fingers crossed for apple approval

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any chance of an invite? TestFlight appears full :)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m already hoping that we are on the store within the next 24 hours here. It’s been a pain but things should be ironed out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ll keep an eye out 👍🏻

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Which version of the app is the newest? Will all future updates be on the App Store?

[–] nocturne213 4 points 1 year ago

Apple limits the number of TestFlight users. You will need to wait until it is released.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can I get an apk anywhere, or is my only option to build it myself? I've tried it but keep running into issues

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’m sorry you’re having these frustrations with Apple. Thanks for the updates.

[–] Ghostalmedia 2 points 1 year ago

This is really awesome! Great work.

Given the fact that most of the core feature set is in place, I feel like Memmy could use a week to focus on hardening and failing gracefully when instances are down for a restart, throwing errors during upvoting / commenting / post loading.

[–] wheelsftp 2 points 1 year ago

Incredible work dude. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What did Apple complain about? Just curious 👀

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Content moderation. How to filter the content (block users which is there) or how to report content (also there). Also that the developer needs to remove the content with 24 hours (obviously not possible)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oké so Apple being Apple. Hopefully this doesn’t happen with future releases! Thanks for the awesome work!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Once you get past the initial review things are usually much smoother sailing unless you roll out some new big feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Love the new top options and remembering the last profile used! Thanks for everything!

[–] white_dwarf 1 points 1 year ago

As a new Lemmy user and Apollo fan I can’t wait to try this!

[–] Jpopy 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much. This version feels like the cleanest, smoothest version yet. I guess it’s the combination of improvements on your end along with Lemmy updating the server side. For a while, there were so many lags but that’s all gone.
