Upon first look it seems that you did a great job on the oled theme. Thank you so much — reading is comfortable again.

FYI there seems to be some white gradient/shadow/glow remnants around some borders (community feed list & settings sections)

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Glad you like it!

The shadow around those elements is intentional--the SwiftUI component that renders those elements has extremely limited styling options, and so can't take the nice rounded border. The shadow is there to provide visual distinction against the background.

Hi, great news, thanks for the hard work. I wonder why it requires iOS 16? I have an old iPad and can’t install it there :(

[-] sjmarf@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Hi! Mlem v1 requires iOS 16 or later and Mlem v2 requires iOS 17 or later. Supporting a wider range of versions would take up significantly more development time, and prevent us from using newer APIs. For that reason we choose to support only the two most recent iOS versions, which most of our users fall under.

We’re sorry that you can’t use Mlem on your old iPad. You could try Voyager instead, which supports any iOS version (I think).

Part of the reason is that the userbase is small.

Thank you for adding an option to disable swiping on posts and comments! I don’t know when it was added, but it’s a necessary feature for me.

Exciting! Looking forward to this trickling down to regular App Store installs.

I’m seeing an issue where “more replies” never loads more, it goes to a comment thread that ends at the same place?

[-] sjmarf@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks for the bug report. Do you have a link to a comment chain where this happens?

[-] darkfiremp3@beehaw.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

Everyone, on this thread, there is a comment with More Replies, and it loops. On iOS 18.1 and 18.0. :)

[-] sjmarf@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks. It looks like this only happens on beehaw.org so it's possibly related to older Lemmy versions. We'll look into fixing it 👍

[-] darkfiremp3@beehaw.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

Classic! Thank you!

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.
