The official lemmy community for Voyager, an open source, mobile-first client for lemmy.
💙
What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:
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.
Cool! Installed it to replace the PWA. Nice work!
Howdy! I’m still new to Lemmy. Why does your username appear red to me in the Voyager app?
Are you super special? Are you dev royalty??
Ohhh am I red in the app? Hadn't noticed :-) I'll go see a doctor. Doesn't sound good.
He’s like the Prime minister of lemmy.world
Lemmy.world founder and overall cool dude 😎
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!
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.
I can't believe how quickly you work. You're a legend. I can't wait for the Android app.
Jealous of iOS users! Looking forward to Android release!
By the way if you don’t mind. What programming language are you using? Is it swift UI?
Great work! I love having Voyager as a separate app on macOS.
Swiping back instead of accidentally upvoting is much better here than the web app.
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?
You can disable 60 fps lock in safari with develop menu.
As for that being a default, Safari needs to fix this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173434

Holy shit, it's real!
I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.
Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.
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.
Oooh joined! Big fan of Voyager, the app is working well so far! Just a question, when will push nofications be implemented?
The app seems to work great ! Thank you !
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.
Wow, this is awesome! Thank you!
I'm keeping an icon for the PWA Just In Case though
Wait so this is now an actual app? Genuine question!
If so that’s cool!
Just found a bug, not sure if it’s already been reported: if the comment thread is longer than I think like 4 posts, when I click “x more comments” it doesn’t actually open the rest of the thread.
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.
Thank you for the status bar tap feature!
One thing I noticed is that the "Back" button does not always work on the posts tab, it just alternates between "Home", "All" and "Local" instead of actually taking me to the page where all my subscriptions are listed.
Edit: Actually I meant the "Communities" button, and the bug only happens when I’ve previously used the drop-down list to switch between either of "Home", "All" or "Local".
Thanks! The problem is it’s not replacing the current route. There should be a fix soon.
Awesome! But can you please have an .ipa available for download on GitHub, so we don't need to depend on Apple for updates.
Maybe in the future, builds are through App Flow which doesn't have a way to make builds public, and I don't want to manually upload an ipa every release.
Wohoo!
That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.
There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.
I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?
Edit: the reply bug where when you reply to a comment, the comment thread shows in the reply area is still present.
