In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.

I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.

Improvements and additions:

  • New icon and options for changing icon color
  • New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
  • Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
  • Performance enhancments throughout the app
  • Hide read posts
  • Images in comments
  • Collapsible posts
  • Default comment sort
  • All of the “Top” sort options
  • Show a loading modal while downloading images
  • Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
  • Add option for reader in webview
  • Settings improvements
  • Added embark theme
  • Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
  • Adjustments to splashscreen
  • Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
  • Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser

Fixes:

  • Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
  • Fix cake day showing the wrong year
  • Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
  • Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
  • Read icon now uses the correct color
  • Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
  • Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end

If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

    Rest assured ads is something that will never be in this. No feature lockdowns, ads, any of that.

    I can’t link anything in app for payments or donations unfortunately. Eventually there might be a tip jar though. For now if you really want, there’s a buy me a coffee.

      I would say as much love as the app has received, definitely consider adding a tip jar. You’ve made a rather good app that is giving people a lot of value, so people would be more than happy to compensate you for your time. Given you can’t provide links in the app to third party payment services, this would provide the easiest route for people to do so.

        agreed. i subscribed to apollo for 99c a month, i’d be more than happy to keep doing that if it helps memmy flourish

        fuck reddit, there need to be viable alternatives and memmy is creating a wonderful experience

      Support link still shows your Twitter account. Not sure if you’ve moved on to mastodon or not.

      Oh and a huge thank you for creating an amazing app in very little time. That’s some seriously consistent hard work. Doesn’t go unappreciated. ❤️

        Hmm where is that at? I don’t even use Twitter, I think I only had the account for SEO purposes. I don’t really use mastodon either, not my type of social media (twitter, bluesky, mastodon, etc.) but I do have an account there.

        Given gestures vaguely I definitely don’t have any interest in using it lol

      Hope I really don’t need to screenshot this to post in a few years… 😊 anyways, awesome app you’ve made! Can’t wait for the update to hit the AppStore, I deleted my flight test copy by mistake… 😭

        The code is open sourced under a public license. The developer doesn’t own the code any more than you do. If they added ads someone could just fork it and remove them.

        That said, running a large open source project is difficult and frustrating. Any donations they receive will likely be a pittance compared to what they would make spending that time coasting in a corporate dev job. Send them a few bucks as a thank you: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink

      No feature lockdowns

      What about for notifications? Surely those will start costing you something if growth continues as it has been lately.

      Oddly I can’t click the buy you a coffee link in the app. It keeps collapsing the comment?

        That’s awkward isn’t it 🤣

        We are going to overhaul markdown for the 0.2 release hopefully, so links will have a bigger hit box. I’ve noticed this too.

        You should be able to try pressing slightly below the link to get it to work though.
