Coming to the App Store tomorrow!

Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway.

This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldn’t be any more issues with the swiping to close.

There are some issues still but they are minor and I’ll get them cleaned up here soon. I’ve spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so it’s been a process.

The “white flash of death” should be fixed here as well when you open up the app.

We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone.

Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers.

Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

      I love it! Besides the sideways scroll bug, the fact that the image disappeared after only dragging for a little bit was very annoying to me, since sometimes some text might would be behind the dynamic island, and would disappear when I tried to drag the image down just a little to be able to read it.

        Yea I have made it so that the image will only fill 90% of the screen height at a zoom scale of one (if you zoom obviously it will fill the full thing).

        Swiping is now just a matter of velocity. There’s no required distance to reach for it to close, just as long as the swipe itself is fast enough. (You also have to be at a zoom scale of one for this, since obviously you might have a high velocity swipe when in zoom).

        The issues like what you were having should be pretty much fixed, but I’m going to keep tweaking this thing. It’s quite a bit of weird logic to get it right and there’s still some work to be done, but it’s a huge improvement over the current implementation.

          So much better. One thing I loved about the Apollo image viewer was the double tap and drag to zoom as a one finger option vs pinch.

          I’ve tried it out and wanted to let you know that it’s way better now, and feels really good.

    After opening an image and then double tapping it, the image zooms down to the bottom of the screen and also is overlaying the feed. This may be expected behavior?

    Also when pinching out to zoom it doesn’t seem to center on where I’m pinching.

    The new image viewer, when zooming in, instead of showing empty space as black, it is transparent, showing the feed behind it. Is this expected behaviour?

    The update feels much snappier overall and am loving it regardless. Thank you as always.

      Looks like a bug, though it made me realize I love the transparency. Would prefer that over black to be honest!

      Yeah likely needs worked on. When I zoom in it scrolls down at the same time too instead of staying centred.

      I’m sure improvements will come.

      I’ll write up something on how this can be done. I also think we are setting up something web based where you can easily contribute the translations without needing to use GitHub or anything like that.

    Which version of memmy will have the improved swipe to close function? I’m on 0.2 and it feels the same.

    Thank you!

    Day 2 for me using the app, and I dig it! New to Lemmy as a whole. I would love to see a way to more easily block/ filter out uhh subreddits (I don’t know the proper term, sorry)

    Right now I have to click into the sub then click some options to get it done. Not a terrible experience by any means, but after years of having Apollo and my filters set up, having to rebuild them on a different platform/app is a bit tedious.

    Perhaps a long press on the sub title in the feed could pop up options to sub , unsub, block?

    Love the app so far, and am digging this over Reddit right now!

    loving the app! it doesn’t appear that there is a way to view a users bio — is that coming in a future release?

    Maybe I’m missing it… but when there are multiple pictures I’m unable to swipe between them and instead have to close the picture I opened and tap on another. Is album swiping a feature that will be implemented? Thanks for the hard work I’m really loving the app so far!

    Congratulations on the release!

    Would you consider having an option for tablet landscape mode to condense posts to the middle of the screen, like how Apollo (was) and Voyager/Wefwef is displayed?

      Yea I’ve noticed a few things about it, going to keep ironing it out.
