…👀

Edit: should also mention this is only one of the key features. The client will also have a website version that functions - hopefully - near identical to the mobile app. It will be offline first allowing you to browse cached content without internet.

    Love Voyager but this is the biggest downside. Would be happy to join the TestFlight when it’s up. Good luck!

      I really appreciate that! I’m aiming for a TestFlight beta in 2 months. Technically, there is no reason I can’t launch a beta today, but I want to have the app be functional enough that it’s mostly usable.

      I’ll DM you when I have a beta up.

        Great! Looking forward to it. Colour scheme and the iOS focus remind me of Bean, which was my favourite Lemmy client up until the dev abandoned it.

        Voyager is great but it does feel like a web app at times, especially when you get the very common “can’t load the database” error. It looks the part compared to Apollo, but it doesn’t always act it.

          Yes! I believe Voyager’s database issue is caused by Safari’s implementation of IndexedDB since voyager runs in a web view. Since my app also has a web version, I suppose you could technically get that error in the browser. But the actual native app you install doesn’t use a web view or IndexedDB, so you will never see that error.

      Definitely a different approach than I was going for, but I will use them as a comparable! Thanks!

      Based on your screenshot, it looks like they do the feed on the left and the post on the right. Idk if I’m gonna go for that layout, but it’s interesting and definitely a cool way to take advantage of the larger screen.

        Yea, it’s kinda…rough. It’s not always clear on things either, it looks like it’s duplicating icons like the sort icon, but it’s actually a sort icon for the left column and a sort icon for the comments of the thread you’re in on the right. Other oddities like that makes me think it’s not entirely polished and done yet.

    I beefed up tablet support for Summit for Lemmy a while back. If you end up giving it a tey i would love to hear your feedback since its not a use case I dogfood often.
