    Congrats! I’m excited that Mlem is built in SwiftUI instead of a cross-platform framework. Native-built apps are usually so much better.

      Me too! The differences really become apparent when more features are added. Battery life I notice. Also just the way the thing feels; I can intuit where things are in the app because I already know how to use my iPhone.

    I like the design and the layouts but there are a few things to improve. The biggest for now is the image viewer. When I click on a post it just opens the post with the title and comments, but not the image itself. I can’t zoom in or anything.

    Overall though it’s very clean and off to a good start.

      The image viewer is our #1 priority right now. To zoom you can tap the image once in the post view–we’re working on getting a hotfix out shortly to make that work the intuitive way, where tapping the image in feed opens the quick viewer.

      Longer-term, we’re working on a much more robust, fully-featured media viewer, but it’s a complex piece of code and we want to get it right–it’s slated for our next milestone (1.1, targeted Aug 5).

        Glad you’re working in the image viewer. As of this release, images don’t even open in the post view. Touching them does nothing.

    I’m giving this app a try. Just wanted to say that within 30 seconds, I inadvertently blocked someone while trying to change the post size. Maybe the options shouldn’t be under a submenu. Blocking a user should ask for confirmation by default. Also why do you make the user enter credentials instead of ask redirect to the instance to grant permissions using oauth?

      Thanks for giving us a try! We’re constantly improving, and your feedback is invaluable–we’re working on adding confirmations to more destructive actions for the next build.

      For credentials, we don’t use oauth because Lemmy doesn’t support it–there’s an issue open on their GitHub that should resolve that, but until then it’s passwords or bust.
