Hey everyone! Check out Lunar, A Lemmy client I'm making for iOS using SwiftUI

Just note that Lunar is still a very early work in progress, so it's not available on the App Store or TestFlight just yet. But I'm actively working on it for release.

If you're curious and want to take a peek, you can run a preview on your iPhone using a Mac and Xcode. The instructions are in the GitHub repository, so feel free to give it a try and share your thoughts!

Since I'm still learning app development, any feedback and suggestions from you would be greatly appreciated.

Lunar is an open-source project, and I'd love for you to be part of it. If you're into coding or just want to lend a hand, let's collaborate. Feel free to contribute ideas or raise Pull Requests to make Lunar even better.

Github: https://github.com/mani-sh-reddy/Lunar-Lemmy-iOS

Follow the progress here: https://github.com/users/mani-sh-reddy/projects/3

Edit: Created a community for it to keep everyone updated https://lemmy.world/c/lunar_for_lemmy_ios

The “trending” and the “explore communities” features look very useful.

[-] supercheesecake@aussie.zone 15 points 1 year ago

My god when it rains it pours! Nice work!!

[-] mani@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Appreciate it, thanks!

The irony of Reddit killing third party apps and Lemmys third party apps flourishing is amazing.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Have you opened a lemmy community yet so we can subscribe and get updates?

[-] shaggy959500@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Looks great! Can’t wait for the TestFlight.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Put it up on TestFlight, and I’ll try it out.

[-] mani@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Will do soon, I want to make sure it has some of the most basic features before I release it on testflight. At the moment you can't even collapse comments

[-] iMike@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to it, remind me when it’s in the App Store

[-] beatseqr@waveform.social 5 points 1 year ago

Just checking on that app title in the App Store, it’s going to be tough to break through the other apps that are actually about the moon. Maybe you could consider a unique spelling or renaming for easier discoverability. “Lunar for lemmy” can work, it’s just wordier. But without a reference to lemmy, it might get buried under the existing stuff which use the word “lunar” more literally.

[-] mani@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, this was my thought too

[-] bricks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Looks good. Any noted pros/cons vs. Memmy?

[-] caglel@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Native apps on swift are more responsive, smooth and lightweight. Memmy is built with ReactNative.

[-] fdrc_kb@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Any change this is going to work with kbin too? 👀

[-] spacedancer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

AFAIK kbin doesn’t have an API yet, so a 3rd party app isn’t possible until that’s available.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure it's about to be released

[-] mani@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would love to include other forum softwares within the app and make it as easy as changing the URL. Just waiting on the kbin API to be released. Hopefully it's similar to the Lemmy API so theres less work to do on my part
