DevLog[0]: Announcing Lemon, a Lemmy client for iOS! 🍋[pre-alpha, WIP] - lemm.ee
lemm.eeEDIT: I’ve created a community for the Lemon app: !lemon@lemm.ee
[https://lemm.ee/c/lemon] ! Hello community! 👋 I wanted to drop a short
announcement: I’m building an iOS client for lemmy, named Lemon 🍋! It is still
very much in early development, only having one week of dev time so far. I’m not
yet ready for users (unless you want a lot of bugs 😅). I’ll be sharing some
development logs throughout the journey. Consider this the first of (hopefully
many) entries! Story time: For years, I was an avid user of Apollo for Reddit
[http://apolloapp.io]. I was an “ultra subscriber” and occasional donor, since I
loved the app and Christian Selig [https://twitter.com/ChristianSelig] was such
a kind and engaged developer. He managed to build both an inspiring app and
community. I was heartbroken when I learned Apollo would shut down due to
Reddit’s API changes. Lemon for Lemmy as an homage to Apollo and is greatly
inspired by his amazing work (Thank you, Christian!) Features Some of the
currently-working features are: - 🔒 Logging in and registering (including
instance search + information browsing such as user count, location, accepting
memberships, etc!) - 💡 Light and Dark modes - 🔼 Upvoting / downvoting posts
with optimistic updates and rollbacks (including swipe to vote!) - 🚀 highly
performant feed with infinite scroll - 📚 persistent cache to read while you’re
offline My goal is to make this a fully featured Lemmy client for iOS, and
hopefully one day as good as Apollo is/was! That’s all for now. Here’s some
screenshots. Until next time! Dark Lemon
