A huge shoutout to all the users who provided feedback, reported issues, and actively participated in making this app better. Your dedication and enthusiasm are the driving force behind these improvements.
🍺 Buy Me a Beer
I’m building Lemma as a side project in my free time. If you’re enjoying Lemma and would like to say an extra thank you, you can buy me a beer ❤️
🙌 Thank You!
I appreciate your ongoing support and I’m committed to delivering an app that exceeds your expectations. Keep the feedback coming, and let’s continue to make this app the best it can be together.
Happy testing! 🚀
Honestly, the app is very useable as-is now. The major things I expect in an app are there and they work well. The overall aesthetics seem very nice. The placement of the icons and names/numbers on the posts in the feed all seem to fit together nicely. The scrolling and swiping are very smooth.
I only noticed a couple of small bugs while zooming around the app.
The text slider resets to the default when returning the settings. The actual text size isn’t affected, but the slider just goes back to the middle.
The multi-communities will sometimes not load. Not sure if this is instance-related, but one multi will not load with all lemmy.world instances, but another multi with World instances loaded in okay.
The Sort on a multi did not switch, and quickly switched back to the default.
After switching accounts, the subscribed communities and multi lists were still the previous account.
Making a post, I could not scroll down when I get close to the bottom of the post, so I cannot see where I’m typing under the keyboard. https://i.imgur.com/OY3Me3h.jpg
Also with making a post, sometimes some sentences flash that look like some sort of auto complete suggestions. I’m not sure if that is intentional, but it’s a little distracting.
Thank you for adding the text size options. I have okay eyes, but enlarging the text allows me to not need to hold the phone so close.
Some suggestions
Add ability to favorite communities and have them at the top of the communities list. Maybe swipe left to Unsubscribe and swipe right to Favorite
Font options
Add ability to cross-post
Add the list of subscribed communities as tick boxes for adding Multi-communities; maybe have Search as a box to select if necessary.
Draft saving of posts
Mod options (namely viewing the reported items)
Eventually some community icons would be neat (although the new icon is very pleasant)
Great to hear this kind of feedback!
I will look into the bugs you mentioned. Reading some of them I immediately already have a vague idea what could be the problem.
The suggestions are also great. Most of these are indeed already on my radar. My first goal is to fix the last bugs and finally push the V1 to the App Store, since I achieved all the basic features that I had in mind for the V1. Once that’s setup I’ll continue working on adding new features :D
I really appreciate that you take the time to understand and implement the changes that people suggest. And Lemma so far has seemed like a very well-rounded project, so props to you.
Are you planning on posting the App Store availability to [email protected] ? Because Lemma is listed on the pinned post but I don’t see any posts made for it yet, and that could be a good place to drop the news.
