Memmy Development 8/23 (lemmy.ml)
 

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.

Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.

But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.

We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!

TestFlight version is currently unstable - use App Store instead if you want (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi everyone,

We are aware that the TestFlight version is pretty unstable at the moment, with a lot of bugs and crashing. This is because we are in the middle of rewriting our entire state management. We appreciate the testers who let us know what issues there, are but please be respectful when doing so.

If you don't wish to deal with the current instability of the TestFlight version, please download the App Store version as that is meant to be stable. When using TestFlight, you get all the latest features, but that also means you get the latest bugs too :D

As another reminder, creating bug reports in GitHub is still the best way to have your issue addressed.

Thank you to everyone who helps us test Memmy!

Appreciate it, sorry for the short response. We sometimes just get frustrated with comparisons to other apps and I personally can get defensive about it even if it’s not intended in a bad way at all lol. Trust me we definitely want to do things like more long presses in places, improve the flow of certain actions, etc.

Memmy has been in development for 1 month at best with most of the work done by gk and myself (mostly gk). I’m working in my free time after my full time job. So you’ll have to be patient and understand that things are being worked on. It’s not going to be as well developed as narwhal or Apollo since they were under development for many years and for profit (i assume narwhal was, i never used it). We are doing this entirely for free.

Well we eventually will have other options there so that’s why it’s there. Slightly easier to just put it in a menu there from the start than change it later
