I just wanted to say that with the last two/three updates Memmy has become even better! The user experience is great and my Lemmy journey is a lot more pleasant with this app

I came from Apollo, and I gotta say that Memmy feels like a spiritual successor to it. Nice, clean, and fast!
Same. It absolutely feels like it. I’ve really enjoyed Lemmy for the few days I’ve been here and Memmy just makes it so nice. I’m very surprised how much time I’ve spent here.
R.I.P Apollo
Yup! It gives me the same vibes too
Same here, loving the experience in TestFlight. I’m also eager to see this app push beyond just quality of life/stability changes and throw in some unique Fediverse features as well
Since it seems like a lot of people here aren’t aware, this is app is open source and publicly licensed, and you can watch the effort being put in on github. It seems like the developer has been working around the clock to get this done, for free, writing code that is owned by the community. If you are loving it, send a few bucks to say thanks: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink
Thanks for sharing that link! Just supported and am always happy to support open source projects that bring me so much joy!
I’ll tip a coffee to the developer, thanks!
It’s doubly laudable when you consider that he’s paying $100 for a developer license so we can have Memmy for free. He might have had the license already for other projects, but still, I’m humbled by the generosity, both in time, effort, and money.
True but for iOS developers this can be seen also as an investment, as any employer will hire you after seeing you maintain an app like Memmy. It’s the best kind of portfolio you can have.
Not really, IMO. I maintained a large open source project for a few years and the amount of time suck and mental drain is hard to overstate. Most employers seemed to barely look at it even though they could have clearly seen how I programmed, interacted with users, etc. And, if you decide to stop maintaining it, all those happy users are going to be unhappy users. Given that even bad developers have not much trouble getting steady work, and that all that time could have been invested in a project that earned or had the potential to earn money, it’s sort of hard to justify outside of personal passion. Just my experience, anyway…
Couldn’t agree more! The app is so minimalistic and yet so intuitive, the gestures, the touch; absolutely great 🤌
Yes, it’s really good except I have one problem : I cannot up vote or down vote any posts within the comments.
