Hey! Welcome to /c/lemon 🏄‍♂️

This community is for discussions about Lemon, an upcoming iOS app for Lemmy.

The app is in pre-alpha, but I am hoping to get it onto Test Flight in the next 1-2 weeks, free time permitting 😅

If you'd be interested in getting a test flight link, drop a comment in this thread!

That's all for now 👋

Hey folks! 🏄‍♂️

First things first:

I have been absolutely floored at the positive response you all have had for Lemon! I frankly did not anticipate so much support and positivity. I want to thank each and every one of you for that!

second things.. er.. second:

Apologies I've been slow to update you all! I want to be clear: Lemon is not dead, and is very much still in active development!

I had a very hectic past couple of weeks in my personal/professional life, and so I haven't had as much time to dedicate to Lemon as I would have liked. Combined with the 4th of July holiday here in the US and some other travel I had planned, my free time was limited. But fear not! We are rapidly approaching a testflight release for iOS! 🎉

What features are currently working for 🍋 ?

Right now, I have:

signing in with instance search
light and dark modes
upvoting / downvoting / saving / commenting
rendering post feeds, comment threads
collapsing posts, comment threads
in-app browser (ie for links, media)
native image / gallery viewer
community search bar
comment / post sorting
basic account / community / instance filtering (WIP)

What about the other things you said in DevLog[0]? >:(

Yes! So I ended up removing account registration and offline persistent cache for now. These features will both return, but I wasn't happy with some of the bugs. Just about any engineer will tell you that there are two hard problems in CS: naming things, and cache invalidation. I personally think there's more hard things than that, but needless to say, I want to make sure I get these pieces right before shipping them to you all!
