Gravity is (yet another) Lemmy client for iOS. I started the development of this app a few weeks ago and thoughts why not releasing it, so there it is. I'm doing this for fun and on my free time.

What's supported in this version:

  • Login (but it's not required, you lurker)
  • Browsing, searching communities
  • Voting on posts and comments
  • Commenting
  • Multiple feed layout
  • Infinite scroll

What's next:

  • Creating posts
  • Deleting and editing comments
  • Filters and blocks
  • Automated Nightlies with change log (git log)

Open sourcing should be comming in the next few weeks. Also, custom app icon will be a thing. The app is currently in english but I am working on translations. I will be releasing French and Spanish and German, when the main features will be working properly.

Please feel free to send any feedback by email or here in this thread. Thanks for testing!

With all this great Lemmy app competition coming out, the desktop is painfully lacking behind

[-] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Have you tried Alexandrite?

[-] smolyeet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

not OP, but i don't use it mainly because it wastes a lot of space. it's not bad.. but i prefer my feed to be a little more content dense

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

I do too, but the multi-pane makes up for it. Devs have said a "compact" mode is in the works.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It is too slow to me, I don't think it is a hardware issue to be honest.

[-] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It hangs/freeze several times, unlike stock UI or old.lemmy.world.

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

What are you viewing it on?

I've never had any issues.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Subscribed feed on lemmy.world from a MacBook Pro 2014 running Safari.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 year ago

mlmym is a great old.reddit clone

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

Or just old.lemmy.world for this instance.

[-] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 0 points 1 year ago

A new Desktop interface is being hosted on lemmy.world soon, named Photon

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

They're taking a page out if Firefox's play book I see

[-] ijeff 1 points 1 year ago

It works really nicely! We've already been hosting it at https://nu.lemdro.id. My personal fav.

Lemmy is gonna leave past reddit third apps in the dust in terms of features and quality, now that there is no fear of risk.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Call it ‘Yet Another Lemmy Loader’ or Y’ALL for short.

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I absolutely love this!

[-] radiated@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Holy shit i love the look already. I cant seem to login to lemm.ee tho!

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Indeed I had an issue with login on a different server than the one selected. I pushed the fix now and will send a new testflight by sunday with comment editing and deletion features :)

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

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

[-] somnuz@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I would love to test it but I am on iOS 15.7.7 so no Gravity for me.. Great icon tho!

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

SwiftUI, but there's a few UI things that I'm having a hard time to achieve with it so I might add some UIKit stuff here and there.

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

Can't log into Lemmy.world

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yea, I saw the issue and fixed it. That'll be for the next Testflight. Sorry about that.

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

Still not fixed after update.

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry about that. Can you tell me more? The default instance is Lemmy.world ? Do you have any error displayed on the login screen ?

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

The Login button isn't clickable. I enter the account info and Lemmy.world as instance. Nothing.

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That’s wired. Are you on iPhone or iPad ? What OS version ?

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

Didn't work on either my iPhone 14 Pro or iPad Pro. Both with most recent OS installed.

[-] itsmistermoon@feddit.cl 1 points 1 year ago

I got this problem too but managed to login, I was just stubborn and kept hitting the button lol. It may have to me something happening behind the scenes.

[-] nix@merv.news 1 points 11 months ago

Any chance you will open source it? Also who made the icon it’s amazing

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Hey, sorry I've been off the grid for the last few month! I made the icon myself. Btw, I just released a new version, with a refined version of the app icon + alternate app icon support :)

Open sourcing is on it's way. TBH, my commits are quite messy and very unprofessional but I could open source it right now. I would just need to arrange/reorganize the files and directories, but that's manageable.

[-] nix@merv.news 1 points 9 months ago

Ah sweet! Will the old icon remain as an alternative? Its my favorite

[-] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I will add it to the next build.

Just out of curiosity, you don't like the new one? I feel like the head is a little too big but any tips for improvements?

[-] nix@merv.news 1 points 8 months ago

I like the new one but the old one is just so good something about it. The flatness plus bit of gradient maybe
