  • There’s not a lot of reason to hate it if implemented correctly which it very well might not be at first and likely will cause some headaches. Regardless, Apple should also do a better job of telling users the reasons too if they are going to be doing this.

    Right now, you fill out a whole bit of information about why your app might use specific private info, but Apple only shows minor information about it to the user. I’d much rather the user know the specific reason I’m using, for example, location instead of just for “App Functionality”. Would make a better user-developer relationship in my opinion and promote good transparency.





  • Hey all. Replying from .world since…well you guys know.

    Anyway, thank you for all your support over the past weeks. It’s helped us get to this point.

    A word of caution: The build that was released is slightly outdated and there are a few issues that have already been addressed in that build. Unfortunately because you can’t replace the build in review, we were not able to update it as we went through this nearly week-long back and forth with Apple. It required an appeal to get us onto the store.

    With that said, I’ll be releasing the final version of 0.0.2 tonight to TestFlight, and will begin build versioning starting at 0.1.0, which will be the next release on the store. I’ll try and have something submitted to them tonight and hopefully it will be reviewed and released within a day or so.

    Cheers!









  • memmy dev here. That’s why I’m so excited to see multiple groups working on things! I could never appease everyone with one design, and frankly I find I prefer the one in memmy (well of course right?) over the one that mlem uses. But that’s me coming from using Apollo for Reddit for years. There were quite a few different UIs for Reddit apps as well.

    Like I said to someone else, I think that anyone who knows Swift should go over and help out with the Mlem development. They have a great app as well and we all need all the help we can get!




  • Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn’t have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.

    Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don’t want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there’s so many people working on things for Lemmy already!
