Hello everyone!
For the last two weeks, I have been working on an Android app for Lemmy as a side project. It’s called Lemming and has now reached a state where I want to make it publicly available. The app is not yet available on the Play Store, so if you want to install it, you can download the APK file from the GitHub releases page.
Here are some key features that Lemming has right now:
- Support for multiple accounts
- Swipe to vote for posts and comments
- Navigate comments with the volume buttons
- Long press on a comment to collapse it
- Write posts and comments with a text editor that supports text styling and a preview
- Long press on post image thumbnail to see the full image
- User interface is optimized for phones, tablets, and foldables
Some screenshots to give you a better idea:
What’s next?
I plan to release a beta version of Lemming on Google Play next week, to make installing and updating the app easier.
Then I will focus on adding missing features like supporting links, displaying user profiles, personal messages, search and community sidebars. I also want to add customization options and improve the accessibility of the app. Lot’s to do :)
Of course all of this depends on the feedback I get from the community and what is most important to the users. So don’t hesitate to give feedback and tell me what features you would like to see next!
Pleasure. Thanks for the update, I’ve just installed it and it looks way better and is working very well. Swipe functionality is also really great.
