Currently using Avelon 1.06 and I must say the QoL improvements plus the themes. Very very close to Apollo now in my opinion.

As one of the first users of Avelon, I must say, you have come a long way. Good job!

I especially like the different sepia options. I think that reader accessibly options often get overlooked. This looks so much nicer on my eyes. I would love to see a bold toggle and some custom apps (which look like they’re in the works).

The groups (aka multi-sub) was very welcomed to see.

The performance still seems great too. I know Apollo really set a high bar, but I like to try and think of Lemmy and the new apps people are working on as their own. For me, they don’t need to be an exact copy of Apollo.

I agree. It’s just that Apollo has been my go to Reddit experience for so long that I can’t help but miss it. But Avelon is doing a great job at making me move on

What's your top 3 missing features from Apollo? I'll try my best to add them if possible

[-] walrusintraining@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What I miss most in order: -Video scrubbing (apollo would let me swipe anywhere rather than just the time bar which I miss across my phone) -Sharing/downloading video files like pictures -Share as image (shares text posts as an image, and adds the title to image posts.) Share as image for comments (including n parent comments, and post details as options)

What made apollo so great for me though was how smooth it felt, its optimizations, and its support for so many different websites and services. Overall, Avelon has been an incredible app even without these features. Thank you for developing it.

Testflight v1.0.6 has GIF/video scrubbing 😎

I'm consistently working to keep speed and stability as good as possible, but it does get harder to do as more features are added

Thanks for the info and your work!

Same. Although iOS 17 killed the swipe anywhere to scrub video feature :(

Basically my favourite features also

[-] loopy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I second the gif and video scrubbing by holding anywhere in the frame
