There’s not a lot of reason to hate it if implemented correctly which it very well might not be at first and likely will cause some headaches. Regardless, Apple should also do a better job of telling users the reasons too if they are going to be doing this.

Right now, you fill out a whole bit of information about why your app might use specific private info, but Apple only shows minor information about it to the user. I’d much rather the user know the specific reason I’m using, for example, location instead of just for “App Functionality”. Would make a better user-developer relationship in my opinion and promote good transparency.

Don’t worry I have your back. We’ll take ‘em together.

I plan to support Android too, by the way. It is already about 90% functional, mainly just some styling issues due to a few quirks between iOS and Android rendering. I’ll keep you guys all posted!

Glad to hear it’s working well! Let me know if you run into any issues or have ideas!

Ah I didn’t know about this. I’ll have to see how to get that information and render accordingly. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for the feedback!

Fixed that in the latest release. Sorry about that…

Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn’t have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.

Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don’t want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there’s so many people working on things for Lemmy already!

Yup. I took it for a spin on a simulator and things are about 90% functional out of the box. There’s some weird scaling issues with the text, but I believe that to be the patchwork way I’m rendering the markdown right now. Once I finish the markdown parser it should be the same across both platforms.

While it does take up the whole view, I intend to have a few other buttons and things on screen. The comment that you’re replying to will be visible under the comment section, and there will be some buttons to easily add markdown to the comment.

I have something in the works and should have it released today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the cross post! Please feel free to let me know if you guys run into any issues!

Available now, by the way. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/discussions/13
