Memmy 0.5 - Should be available later int the day

Hey all!

It may have seemed to be a slow week, but I have been toiling rewriting a significant portion of the codebase while staring at graphs so that we can better implement new features. Currently, the state management was a bit too spread out, so I have taken the time to centralize that. This is going to make things like mod tools a cinch to integrate, and I plan to do that this coming week (seriously).

These changes should also provide some pretty good performance enhancements. To be sure, this is not a complete effort yet, however I have overhauled the two biggest things: feeds and posts/comments. These are the two biggest performance bottlenecks, and I think I’ve gotten about 80% of the way there in improving the performance there. Still more work to do though!

Additionally, we should see another significant performance boost in the next portion of the rewrite, which will remove off the current UI library that we use and replace it with a much better performing library. That is a process that will happen over time.

The great news is that now, we should be able to iterate at a higher speed with these changes, and we should be rolling out some big changes here in the next few days!

For now, there are a few changes - and things that should be fixed because of this rewrite

  • I keep saying this, but I have a feeling that this should resolve some NSFW issues
  • I also keep saying this, but I am pretty certain that this should fix the issues with language ID issues. At least for posts, comments should be fixed in a day or so.
  • The profile screen has been reworked
  • Much better (but still lacking, and this will improve further in the coming days) performance with the traverse

As this is a rewrite of a lot of state things, there is a chance that some things might have broken. However, I have done a good bit of testing here and think things are alright. If you see anything funky, please do let us know!

We do plan (and should be able to do so more easily now) have some tab bar options that will allow you to customize the functions there. For example, you will be able to visit the traverse tab from a button on the tab bar if you wish to swap it out with another one.

Like I said, this coming week will be more feature-full rather than behind the scenes work. Thanks for hanging in there while we get this stuff sorted out!

Cheers!

Please optimize the line height for titles so that it matches the line height for regular comment text.

    Bug for 0.5 (4), themes are not applied unless you toggle match system theme on and off

    Fixed now.

    Frz,

    I love the app so far, it’s beautiful and I enjoy the themes a lot. I think my Lemmy usage will skyrocket now that I have this app haha (I’ve been using the mobile web version all this while). One suggestion I have is to maybe reduce the size of the upvote/downvote buttons in the comments because they’re pretty large compared to the text, but this is far from a priority of course. Keep up the good work.

    I think this was a bug in the last version actually that’s was fixed.

    Frz,

    I downloaded the app about an hour before I left that comment. It wasn’t fixed for me, same with the flashbang issue.

    Mereo,

    [Bug] In the latest update, “clicking” no longer takes me to the post where the comment is.

    gkd,

    Noted and will be fixed today.

    Mereo,

    Forgot to say is when you “click” a comment in the comment section.

    some_designer_dude,

    I’ve actually abandoned Memmy in favour of Wefwef / Voyager because there is still no way to just hide a damned post. I have to upvote / downvote to mark as read, and only then can I clear “read” posts.

    Such a simple feature and I was losing my mind without it. How are you all hiding posts? Or do you vote on literally everything? Foreign language posts? Posts from obscure communities you have no opinion on?

    Anyway, I’ll be watching changelogs for a bit in anticipation of “hide” features, but Voyager seems to have it all already.

    Really bummed (and confused) at the omission of this functionality ☹️

    Filter instance, filter keyword, and mark read on scroll have just all been added.

    FranklinsBeard,

    Anyone else have themes broken by the latest update? I had to roll back to version 0.4 to be able switch to the OLED theme again. On 0.5 you can select any of them and it won’t apply.

    ChlkDstTtr,

    Try applying the theme and then toggling the “Match System Light/Dark Theme” toggle on and then off (or vice versa).

    FranklinsBeard,

    Thanks! That worked. Weird bug, but I’m sure it’ll get fixed fast

    SpunkyBarnes, (edited )

    Thank you for the updates, loving both the app & the fediverse. Guess it’s one…well, only really, thing I can thank u/spez for.

    One question though. Is there an auto-rotate setting I need to enable? Photos remain in portrait orientation currently.

    edit: found its entry on Git, glad it’s on the radar.

    Again, thanks for all your hard work.

    Love the app but it does desperately need an edit button for posts/comments. Also can’t wait for the mod tools.

    Keep up the good work.

    Edit: I just realised there is an edit button for comments. Not sure how I’ve missed that. So it just needs an edit feature for posts.

    Being worked on

    We1chy,

    Anyone else not have the update show up on the AppStore yet? Unless this release is only for TestFlight.

    gkd,
    @gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

    It is for both, but Apple never approved the store release :( hopefully over the weekend, not sure why it didn’t get done today but unfortunately that’s just how it works with them. One day it will be a 15 minute span from upload to approval, next will be a few days.

    We1chy,

    Okay no worries, things happen. Looking forward to trying this update when it’s available.

    afoutopatisa,

    They still haven’t approved it. I’m on 0.4

    Whirlybird,

    Just wanted to say this app on iOS is amazing, as is the rate of updates. The UI keeps getting better and better. Love your work!

    Jackolantern,

    I can’t seem to reply to comments.

    Gsicht,

    Are you aware of the issues with landscape mode? Posts and comments go all sorts of crazy when going to landscape mode and then back to portrait mode.

    SlovenianSocket,
    @SlovenianSocket@lemmy.ca avatar

    Bug on 0.5: clicking on the reply button for comments does not work, the swipe gesture does. Clicking reply button on a post directly does work.

    gkd,
    @gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

    Oh shoot. I see that. Thanks :)

    edit: lol nvm, I found what I’ve been missing
