I can believe how quickly you work. You're a legend. I can't wait for the Android app.

Cool! Installed it to replace the PWA. Nice work!
Howdy! I’m still new to Lemmy. Why does your username appear red to me in the Voyager app?
Are you super special? Are you dev royalty??
Ohhh am I red in the app? Hadn't noticed :-) I'll go see a doctor. Doesn't sound good.
He’s like the Prime minister of lemmy.world
so awesome, since memmy became very unstable.
Just found one curiosity, if you post something new it would be great if it opens the keyboard directly. At the moment you still have to to an additional tap to on the comment area to bring up the keyboard!
Otherwise amazing work!
What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:
- haptics are nice
- status bar tap is very welcome
- the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
- browser appear animation is really nice
- the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
- nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)
I do find it interesting that the back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t entirely fixed. It doesn’t stay frozen like the PWA if you keep swiping but it still latches for a sec before you can keep swiping.
to those curious, the download is only 14 megabytes and its silky smooth and appears much faster to me. it didn't remember my settings from the wefwef pwa. submitting posts and comments and votes so far all work perfectly for me.
this thing is a release candidate in my eyes.
Here we go!
Bug:
Tapped on the OP in this thread to collapse it, and end up getting the whole app shifted up/offscreen, and the comments cut off below.
I had this happen too. The time on my phone was overlappping with the post…
I don't know why, but scrollIntoView seems more buggy here than in the PWA.
Yup happening on my phone as well. IPhone 13 mini running iOS 16.6.
Got it and am posting this from the app. Well done!
Works great so far!
Holy shit, it's real!
I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.
Hey @aeharding
I found a bug but neither a screenshot nor a video would show it. Let me explain:
I opened a post in this community (title: Can’t save images by long pressing) that was short and had very few comments, making the entire content fit exactly inside the screen, almost exactly. On a regular/longer post, I can pull to refresh, but in this case it seems like scrolling is completely disabled. No matter how much I try to swipe up or down, the whole thing is static. it works in the PWA, though.
I also think it’s lacking a bit of padding between the last comment and the tabs at the bottom, but that’s also happening in the PWA, so I guess it’s not app related.
Great work overall! Hope this helps
Jealous of iOS users! Looking forward to Android release!
I noticed there's no version number in settings compared to the PWA.
Have you heard from you early adopters in the delta quadrant?
Where do we submit feedback? The TestFlight email link is not working for me. Basically my bug report: if you auto fill passwords, validation error reports pwd is empty , unless you manually auto fill both fields separately which beats the purpose of auto fill. Probably unnecessarily early front end validation.
Here is fine, otherwise I think you can through Test Flight app.
What password manager? It's working for me in Bitwarden.
Just using the default iOS one, it shows up automatically on the top of your keyboard when it detects a user/pwd kind of input . So basically something like your safari saved passwords ?
The app seems to work great ! Thank you !
This probably is a nich feature, but is it possible to get deeplinks (example voyager://inbox or voyager://vger.app/inbox/unread)?
We can definitely do deep linking with a special URL, however I want to avoid links to vger.app opening the app. One of my pet peeves are apps open that when I'm just trying to browse their site.
Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.
Wohoo!
That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.
There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.
I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?
Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!
I'm keeping an icon for the PWA Just In Case though
This is awesome. Everything’s great except anytime I try to save an image to my photos it crashes
Same issue here
Question and I'm sorry I missed it if it has come up before. Once the native app is released, do you plan to continue development of the PWA? I love the PWA and love that it can be self-hosted.
1000% yes, it's using the same code!
Amazing! So happy to use this.
One issue I’ve noticed: seems like there is a very short tap delay, most noticeable on the tap bar.
I notice when I click on a YouTube link in the PWA it opens up in the same window and takes me to the link, but when I click on the same link in the TestFlight app it opens in a separate window. Is that intended?
Not intended, just the way native apps work. At some point I will need to add code to explicitly open certain things in their app.
If you wanted it to open up in the same window like it does in the PWA would you have to code in a browser to the native app? Is that something you’d be interested in adding in the future?
Hope you can later share Android APK and have auto-update feature without relying on Playstore.
Does the native app proxy through your server like the PWA, or does it connect directly with the instance? Thanks for all your work on this!
Direct. The PWA is direct now too (except for photo upload endpoint because Lemmy bug)
