I’m not the dev but I think that’s the intention based on the readme on GitHub.
It’s written in Expo/React Native which means it’ll be easier to support both iOS and Android.
Yup. I took it for a spin on a simulator and things are about 90% functional out of the box. There's some weird scaling issues with the text, but I believe that to be the patchwork way I'm rendering the markdown right now. Once I finish the markdown parser it should be the same across both platforms.

Trying out now, it’s looking great for the first alpha release!
This looks great! Does it work with kbin.social accounts as well?
Edit: never mind, I should have read all the comments first. Looking forward to seeing how this app progresses!
Always great to have more options! But this seems very similar to Mlem in terms of goals (Apollo like). Why not combine efforts?
Underlying technology is completely different. One is Swift, one is React. It talks about this on the GitHub.
This is one of those cases where two is better than one, because not everyone can contribute to a Swift app, and multiple projects isn’t splitting effort, it’s bringing on people who wouldn’t otherwise be involved at all.
Plus, probably worth having a few going just because there is so much activity now. Mlem is moving a little slower than I had hoped so while I’d prefer a native Swift iOS app, this one is already a little more functional and it’s the first release.
Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn't have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.
Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don't want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there's so many people working on things for Lemmy already!

Because some of us saps don't have a phone capable of iOS 16+ which is what Mlem is targeting. Memmy runs great.
Love it so far! Like some others here, I’d also love to see kbin integration if that’s possible. Thanks for putting this together!
@z2k_ Holy crap that's amazing. I might need to pull my iPhone out of the drawer
I'm not the dev. @[email protected] deserves all the credit. He's amazing.

Using it now to post this comment. I'm really liking it, it's very smooth. Wish there was compact view but I'm sure its coming soon. I might switch over from mlem

I just installed and loaded it up. This looks like a fantastic start. I hope I can provide feedback as I use it more!
It looks great! I’m definitely taking it for a spin and will create an issue on GH if I find any.
Already using it to post this, looks awesome for v0.0.1. Keep it up :)
Very cool. Posting from it now. Don’t like how the reply form takes up the whole screen. But given it’s v0.01 I’ll take these things in stride
While it does take up the whole view, I intend to have a few other buttons and things on screen. The comment that you're replying to will be visible under the comment section, and there will be some buttons to easily add markdown to the comment.
@[email protected] This looks like a fantastic start! As an Apollo user it's a very familiar experience.
At the very least I'll try to test and submit bug reports. If I can find the time I'll try to do some development too. (I could do with a React side-project...)
Showing a lot of potential, already like what I see! Can’t login with kbin currently so just hoping that will change, otherwise I’d be commenting from there now :D
Swipe options nailed the bare-bones already and the right options in the right spots! I’d love to have share as the last option on swipe left. Also needs vibration when ‘unselecting’ (?) a swipe option.
Performance is already great, smooth and no crash yet other than when trying to login with kbin. Looking forward to seeing this grow!

This is a pretty good start. I like it a lot.
Gonna give this app a try! Cannot see a clear search feature. Other than that looks very clean!
I have something in the works and should have it released today or tomorrow.
Giving this a try!
Just tested this. This app is AWESOME! Please keep working on it!! Will keep testing for bugs!
Thanks for the feedback!
I like this a lot and can tell there was a lot of work put into it. Only suggestion so far is to make it obvious in the top bar whether you’re looking at a local, subscribed, or federated sort right next to Hot, Top, etc.
I will keep using this, thanks for posting!
Memmy is looking good. Definitely more stable at this point. It’s going to be exciting to see two different apps grow. Options are always better.
Just tried it and it seems pretty good so far! Only thing I don’t really like is how the keyboard and some other UI elements use light mode even though I have dark mode enabled.
Edit: It's getting fixed now :)
This looks great! I used Sync on Android and this looks similar. Hope to see an Android build soon.
First comment from it, and I’m totally digging it over Mlem. Something about it feels more familiar to me already as a longtime RIF and Narwhal user!
Wow, terrific! Love the tap to collapse, swipe to upvote, etc. Main thing in terms of common reading interactions that I’m missing from Apollo is a swipe action to collapse a thread back to its root. The app is already quite nice to use, though, thank you for sharing!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
this is great! I really enjoy the UI and the feel of this app.
@[email protected] - any plans to allow for adding multiple accounts?
