    I can’t believe how quickly you work. You’re a legend. I can’t wait for the Android app.

    so awesome, since memmy became very unstable.

    Just found one curiosity, if you post something new it would be great if it opens the keyboard directly. At the moment you still have to do an additional tap to on the comment area to bring up the keyboard!

    Otherwise amazing work!

        They’re in the middle of rewriting a lot of it, so it has been unstable, and a bunch of features have gone missing, like being able to jump directly to replies in your inbox.

        I’m sure things will get better, but it still kinda sucks in the meantime.

          Oh yeah, I’ve noticed that myself. I can’t blame ‘em, of course (it takes A LOT of work to make a good app) and it’s a beta release so it’s obviously gonna be buggy…but it does kinda suck for the beta testers who also wanted a halfway functional app.

    What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:

    • haptics are nice
    • status bar tap is very welcome
    • the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
    • browser appear animation is really nice
    • the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
    • nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)

      I’d like to see haptics implemented when hitting the voting buttons too, not just on swipe

      I do find it interesting that the back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t entirely fixed. It doesn’t stay frozen like the PWA if you keep swiping but it still latches for a sec before you can keep swiping.

        Came to comment this. The back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t fixed at all to me. I can replicate the bug every time. The only two reasons for me to use this over the PWA for now are haptics and scroll to top. Hopefully this opens the door to push notifications in the future.

          Push is already possible for Android PWAs and with iOS 17 also for iOS. Regarding the scroll freeze, does it still stay frozen for you as long as you’re trying to scroll after the back swipe?

            It does stay frozen until you lift the finger for a second or so. I see no difference whatsoever.

                I just noticed I’m an iOS version behind, so that may be it. I believe it was released this week. I’m on 16.5.1 instead of 16.6. Will edit this comment after updating to see if that does it.

                Edit: Nothing changed.

                  I wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t fix it, but sure, worth a shot :)

    to those curious, the download is only 14 megabytes and its silky smooth and appears much faster to me. it didn’t remember my settings from the wefwef pwa. submitting posts and comments and votes so far all work perfectly for me.

    this thing is a release candidate in my eyes.

    I’ve been using the PWA version of Voyager for the last month, and today I’ve experimented with the new Test Flight app.

    I have just two words of feedback:

    Nailed it.

    This probably is a nich feature, but is it possible to get deeplinks (example voyager://inbox or voyager://vger.app/inbox/unread)?

      We can definitely do deep linking with a special URL, however I want to avoid links to vger.app opening the app. One of my pet peeves are apps open that when I’m just trying to browse their site.

    One thing I noticed, I have long swipes disabled and I’m just using short swipes but crossing the short/long threshold gives a second haptic bump which feels unintuitive. Otherwise the app is working amazing so far thanks for all the work you’ve put into it!

    But what about my wefwef web app?

    Can I still keep it because I think it might be worth something as a vintage web app to show off in 5+ years time.

    Is it me? Or does “mark read on scroll” seems to be broken? Worked fine in the wpa — for me the most awesome feature voyager has

  • sdu@lemmy.worldEnglish

    Great work! Would it be possible to have the app or even the PWA support 120fps gestures such as on the back swipe gesture on devices with ProMotion?
