We're making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is... a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we're going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.

We Need Your Help

Right now, we're mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:

  • Swift - async/await
  • Rust (to read Lemmy source code)
  • Lemmy
  • OpenAPI
  • Automated tests - UI and unit testing
  • Accessibility UX for Touch (focusing on deaf and blind users)
  • International data policy compliance

Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we'd like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.

Cheers!

i think we have that handled for now, but thanks for the offer. Join the Mlem App chat on Matrix to keep up with the development, in case anything changes!
