Hey all, I’ve just released Lunar for Lemmy version 0.5.0.

Check out the post image for a TLDR on what’s released with screenshots.

Here’s whats changed in v0.5.0:

Added

  • Login Page and account information persistence to Keychain
  • Redesigned settings page
  • 4 new app icons
  • Instance selector with 7 popular instances (custom instances coming soon)
  • Image popover with zoom and pan features
  • Debug Mode
  • Haptics during the login flow and for upvote & downvote buttons
  • Redesigned post metadata buttons
  • Reset app button

Changed

  • Included instance URL in Explore Communities Page
  • Minor UI design changes
  • Better divider between posts

Fixed

  • Background thread publishing bug
  • Tab resetting to feed view on loss of app focus
  • Graphical glitch when swiping down to refresh

It’s still not available on TestFlight yet unfortunately, there are still a few essential features I would like to add before releasing:

  • [ ] Click on URL attached to the post opens the link in an in-app browser/external browser
  • [ ] Collapsable and expandable comments
  • [ ] Collapsed by default post body
  • [ ] Functional upvote and downvote buttons
  • [ ] Search communities
  • [ ] Navigate to communities from posts view
  • [ ] Markdown formatted post body and comments
  • [ ] Upvotes and downvotes in comments
  • [ ] Subscribe button inside community info view
  • [ ] Subscriptions when logged in.
  • [ ] Subscribed communities posts page

Once these have been added, it will be released for TestFlight. Follow the progress on the board here: https://github.com/users/mani-sh-reddy/projects/3

If you’re curious and want to take a peek, you can run a preview on your iPhone using a Mac and Xcode. The instructions are in the GitHub repository, so feel free to give it a try and share your thoughts.

As always, I welcome contributions. If you would like to contribute, please get in touch/create a PR. I am still very new to iOS development so any help is appreciated.
