I’ve finally got the theme switching logic sorted out and a preliminary UI done up. Getting ready to send this out to testers, but before that are there any requests for color schemes?
There will eventually be a theme creator and a community repo where people can share their custom themes. Need to build the backend for that. It will come along with push notifications. if it isn’t there already, hopefully I can get a PR raised and merged to add webhook support to Lemmy so all mobile apps can add push notification support(:
Wanted to make a post where we can keep track of the known issues and features that are WIP. Leave a comment below and/or create an issue on the issue tracker
Known Issues
No animation when collapsing comments (they just vanish, working on it)
No way to view saved posts
Sometimes when you interact with a post (vote, reply, save), if you navigate to a new screen and come back shortly after the UI won't reflect your interaction (this is an issue on some instances and is a known bug with Lemmy. The change doesn’t come in from the API response. I'm working on a way to circumvent this without showing incorrect information)
Some comments are missing whitespace
Features Currently Being Worked On
Join posts with the same URL across iinstances
Indicate when a post is on multiple instances in the feed view
Separate comments by instance in the comments view
I'm creating this community as a place for discussion around the upcoming Olympus for Lemmy iOS app. The TestFlight build is awaiting approval and should be available in the next 24 hours. In the meantime, here's a bit about the app and what to expect.
Motivation
I think a lot of us have an alien shaped hole in our chest that needs filling. I, like many of you, was not satisfied with the quality of many of the apps available for browsing lemmy. I got spoiled with Apollo and couldn't stand to settle, so I set out to build a similar experience for the Fediverse. While I've taken a lot of inspiration from Apollo, Olympus is by no means meant to be a direct clone.
Goal
I want to create a browsing experience that can be customized in every conceivable way. From visual personalization to content filtering, you will be able to change as much as is feasible about the app.
A lot of the groundwork for this customization has been laid, but the settings are not yet user-accessible. In other
