Hey all!

I am doing a rewrite right now of the state management so that we can scale a lot better. This is going to allow for a super seamless integration of mod tools as well as other integrations throughout the app.

I am aware of some issues with the drawer right now, especially whenever a user has a large number of subscriptions. We are working on clearing that up.

I'm also aware of some performance issues, especially on older devices. Two things are being done to correct this:

  • Better state management
  • Stripping out one of the UI libraries that is used and replacing it with either another library or raw React Native components.

These will probably be done by the end of the week. I think these are two things that are super important to knock out now to keep things scalable. I'm learning here as we move along, and am fixing things up as I see issues arise 👍

Thanks for all the feedback, and know that some absolutely great things are coming your way very soon! Cheers

Love this app, it’s allowed me to completely replace Reddit. Would love if more people migrated.

Just some notes about the image viewer:

  1. Images are not correctly getting the window size when the window is resizable. It seems to be using the screen width instead

  2. Tapping the top of the screen in the image viewer will return to the top of the feed view and you can watch the image viewer swap posts as the current post cache goes to the top!

You’re doing a great job. The app is awesome.

As a React developer, I wonder how hard it would be to contribute to Memmy, having zero knowledge of React Native.

Absolutely my favorite app for lemmy. Can’t wait to see modtools!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can we have an option for “Traverse”/ list of subscriptions? The gesture feels awkward at times and doesn’t register as easily as a tap. I don’t see why settings needs it own section.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wish I could save comments, but what a great app. Keep up the good work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This app is great mate, I thought Mlem was leading the charge until I found this app, so big thanks!

I was wondering is there any plans to add notification specifically for individual communities? because I would love that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good to hear about improving performance. Already today the app has crashed back to the springboard about 10 times just while browsing.

Seems to most often happen when loading the safari viewer to read an article.

I’m on an iPhone 8. I can send logs if needed.

How exactly does that drawer thing work to access my subscriptions? I haven't seen it properly explained anywhere yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you asking how to access the drawer? If so, you must go to the first tab, then at the top left, you have an icon, which opens the drawer (then inside the drawer you have the list of subscriptions). Not sure if that's the only way to do this, since I've only had the update for a few hours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You mean the List/Hamburger menu top left, that is a 'drawer'? I would think this is a location for a menu?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Switching the drawer button and profile button around might be better. Or profile within settings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Kinda, the hamburger menu icon opens the drawer – the drawer is the element that opens on top, containing the list of subscriptions. I guess a menu and a drawer are similar concepts.

Crazy fast development on this app in the last 2 months.

Sounds good, keep up the good work!
