Coming to the App Store tomorrow!

Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway.

This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldn't be any more issues with the swiping to close.

There are some issues still but they are minor and I'll get them cleaned up here soon. I've spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so it's been a process.

The "white flash of death" should be fixed here as well when you open up the app.

We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone.

Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers.

Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

After opening an image and then double tapping it, the image zooms down to the bottom of the screen and also is overlaying the feed. This may be expected behavior?

Also when pinching out to zoom it doesn’t seem to center on where I’m pinching.

Yea I know. I’ll have it finished up in an hour or two.

Jeez ur quick! Nice, thanks for the great app :)

By far the busiest devs with these updates. Memmy is fantastic!

Thanks for all your great work! The overall feeling of this app is getting better and better, and it gradually and slowly became my main one.

This pains me but for me this is the worst update in terms of stability, yet it might totally be a me problem — I am using 6s (15.7.7) if this helps anyhow.

What I mean by stability, 80% of the time everything is great, then a random crash, on any screen — earlier this happened once or twice actually, now since the update, once per hour.

Other thing, without crashing — just a freeze for a few seconds, at the beginning when I just tried to tap things as I thought my input just did not register somehow, after few seconds it opened posts or menus multiple times in a row.

Sometimes the image viewer behaves strangely or even soft locks me in a loop of having a tiny image from my compact list view hovering over the full screen view and on tap it is just dancing around the screen while changing opacities of the images, other images sometimes disappear completely in the list view and the full screen image starts changing positions too — like it tries to put a left top corner of the image in the center of the screen or just a half of the image to the left, right or bottom.

I was testing Thunder app too and what would be a great addition from my perspective is another list type, they are using a full width pictures but in different proportions and trimming the main picture — it felt different and fresh.

Overall Apollo force is strong in Memmy (maybe Orbit or Orion soon from what I saw in a different post) — a new list view design(s) could be a great spin that would make this app stand out a little more on its own as it definitely deserves to!

Another tiny but quite a big thing for me would be a gesture for the long right to left swipe after “comment” to add a post or a comment to favorites — the option to change their order eventually would be great too.

I notice the improvements regarding zooming/tapping (thank you), but I'd like to report what seems to be a bug.

It seems like the app is only loading low-quality images in some cases. I just noticed it after seeing a post on https://lemmy.world/c/animalswithjobs@lemmy.world. Following onto the community I saw that on every post there the image is low-quality, it's even hard to read the captions in some cases. Tapping on the share button shows them in the low kilobytes in size.

So far that's the only community I've seen the problem on, though. I'll report back if I notice it elsewhere, but I'm not sure how to confirm it's an isolated problem or if there is something I can toggle to change the behavior.

The new image viewer, when zooming in, instead of showing empty space as black, it is transparent, showing the feed behind it. Is this expected behaviour?

The update feels much snappier overall and am loving it regardless. Thank you as always.

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Haha no, I’ll have this fixed in a few hours. Just really testing it out.

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

Updated the App Store version today, since my stabbing the beta link still yields nothing. :(

And I still get a flash of the day/light theme loading first before the OLED dark theme pops in as it should.

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm we updated to React Native .72, wonder if that was the cause. Let me take a peek.

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

Maybe I’m missing it… but when there are multiple pictures I’m unable to swipe between them and instead have to close the picture I opened and tap on another. Is album swiping a feature that will be implemented? Thanks for the hard work I’m really loving the app so far!

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yea, it isn't there yet but will be there in the coming days.

[-] anon_water@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Do you have a Patreon or GitHub for donations?

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

If you insist, there is a Buy Me a Coffee. ❤️

[-] HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu 0 points 1 year ago

If you want, point me where and I can help with Czech translations.

[-] gkd@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I’ll write up something on how this can be done. I also think we are setting up something web based where you can easily contribute the translations without needing to use GitHub or anything like that.

[-] HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu 1 points 1 year ago

Or I can just create a request in git if you prefer it. Up to you!

[-] bojaber@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

It’s hard to believe you made this using React 👏🏼
