🍺 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 ❤️
📌 Note: This is a TestFlight release, so your feedback will help me fine-tune the app for its official launch.
Don’t worry, just call it early access, basically all of lemmy is early access/open alpha will look into it 👍
Nice! Being able to embed and play videos/gifs within the app is still rare so this is great! One thing I’d suggest is being able to play media in-line while viewing the post, instead of opening the media file itself to play it. Good job, and I’m looking forward to the growth of the app!
Awesome to hear! I spent quite some time on getting the video player right, so I’m glad to hear people enjoy it (:
The fact that videos don’t play when you’re viewing a post is actually a dumb thing I forgot haha. Videos get a signal to auto play as soon as they get into view of a virtualized list, since it’s not in a list when viewing a post it actually never gets the signal 😅
I’ll make sure that this is fixed it the next release
No worries! Just being able to play them in-app is already great in itself. Autoplaying the video/gif on the post isn’t even strictly necessary IMO. As long as the user has the option to play it while viewing the post is good enough. Then maybe it can be an option in settings to auto-play media if the user wants. Thanks!
Just got it going on my end. I’ve been pretty happy with Memmy, but I can’t say no to the Outrun theme. Most of the apps I’ve sampled have had an ‘Apollo’ feel, but this might be the closest so far.
I like how it displays the instance name in the front page, but I’ve found usernames useful so I can block individual spammers.
It looks good, but the comment text is way too small for me to be able to comfortably read. I tried increasing it through accessibility on a per-app basis, but it increased the size of all the other text in the app and not the comment text.
Thanks for the feedback! Initially this started out as a personal project, so most of the UI is tailored to my personal preference.
I’ll have a look at supporting better accessibility with regards to text sizes
Thanks!
Any plans to support ipad? That is where i do most of my browsing.
Maybe at some point, since it sounds like a really interesting challenge. But I gotta be honest that it’s quite low on the list
Looks good. But when scrolling the navbar and topbar disappears
Can you swipe right or left to go through each post? I haven’t found a Lemmy app that does that yet.
One thing I just saw. When I posted a comment it didn’t show up on the post until I manually refreshed. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not.
Edit: it was a reply to a comment. A comment on an article showed up right away.
