I’m not the dev but I think that’s the intention based on the readme on GitHub.
It’s written in Expo/React Native which means it’ll be easier to support both iOS and Android.
Yup. I took it for a spin on a simulator and things are about 90% functional out of the box. There's some weird scaling issues with the text, but I believe that to be the patchwork way I'm rendering the markdown right now. Once I finish the markdown parser it should be the same across both platforms.
As far as I know kbin doesn’t have API access enabled at the moment. They’re still trying to finalise how they do it. This means that apps can’t communicate with it just yet.

Always great to have more options! But this seems very similar to Mlem in terms of goals (Apollo like). Why not combine efforts?
Underlying technology is completely different. One is Swift, one is React. It talks about this on the GitHub.
This is one of those cases where two is better than one, because not everyone can contribute to a Swift app, and multiple projects isn’t splitting effort, it’s bringing on people who wouldn’t otherwise be involved at all.
Plus, probably worth having a few going just because there is so much activity now. Mlem is moving a little slower than I had hoped so while I’d prefer a native Swift iOS app, this one is already a little more functional and it’s the first release.
Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn't have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.
Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don't want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there's so many people working on things for Lemmy already!
All great reasons! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for the cross post! Please feel free to let me know if you guys run into any issues!
I was having such a good experience with Memmy I thought others should know about it too. The daily improvements have been amazing, keep up the great work!
This looks great! Does it work with kbin.social accounts as well?
Edit: never mind, I should have read all the comments first. Looking forward to seeing how this app progresses!
Love it so far! Like some others here, I’d also love to see kbin integration if that’s possible. Thanks for putting this together!
@z2k_ Holy crap that's amazing. I might need to pull my iPhone out of the drawer
Gonna give this app a try! Cannot see a clear search feature. Other than that looks very clean!
I have something in the works and should have it released today or tomorrow.
Showing a lot of potential, already like what I see! Can’t login with kbin currently so just hoping that will change, otherwise I’d be commenting from there now :D
Swipe options nailed the bare-bones already and the right options in the right spots! I’d love to have share as the last option on swipe left. Also needs vibration when ‘unselecting’ (?) a swipe option.
Performance is already great, smooth and no crash yet other than when trying to login with kbin. Looking forward to seeing this grow!

Just tested this. This app is AWESOME! Please keep working on it!! Will keep testing for bugs!
Edit: This is a cross post. I'm stupid lmao
Incredible! I would test it out but I dont' have an iPhone. I wish you luck in your app!
according to the github they intend to make an android version as well, so keep your eyes peeled!
I'm using the ios version and it is really good for such an early app
Good to know. Thanks!
Trying out now, it’s looking great for the first alpha release!
Very cool. Posting from it now. Don’t like how the reply form takes up the whole screen. But given it’s v0.01 I’ll take these things in stride
While it does take up the whole view, I intend to have a few other buttons and things on screen. The comment that you're replying to will be visible under the comment section, and there will be some buttons to easily add markdown to the comment.
This looks great! I used Sync on Android and this looks similar. Hope to see an Android build soon.
Wow, terrific! Love the tap to collapse, swipe to upvote, etc. Main thing in terms of common reading interactions that I’m missing from Apollo is a swipe action to collapse a thread back to its root. The app is already quite nice to use, though, thank you for sharing!
This is a pretty good start. I like it a lot.
Already using it to post this, looks awesome for v0.0.1. Keep it up :)
It looks great! I’m definitely taking it for a spin and will create an issue on GH if I find any.
Looks great! Bit of a pain during login because it would bring my cursor back to the server line after each letter when I was typing in my username
Other suggestions would be: Search feature (which you mentioned you would be rolling out soon) A way to block communities we don’t want to see (only option now is subscribe)
Really nice! Super impressive for a 0.1 release. I'll follow the development on this one.
I created an issue on GitHub but I’ll comment here also - I can enter the server name but when I go to enter my username I can enter one character and then the cursor goes back up to the server box
I like this a lot and can tell there was a lot of work put into it. Only suggestion so far is to make it obvious in the top bar whether you’re looking at a local, subscribed, or federated sort right next to Hot, Top, etc.
I will keep using this, thanks for posting!
I don’t see the update. I’m still on the old version.
Beehaw doesn’t use downvotes, but some instances do. Do the downward-facing arrows disappear, or simply not do anything when on an instance that doesn’t use downvotes? …or are those arrows something else entirely?
Giving this a try!
Testing it now, seems to work pretty well. Aside from search, which you said you’re working on, links don’t seem to work? It would also be nice to have somewhere to see replies to your comments/post. It would also be nice to see what instance each community comes from. Thanks for your hard work!
this is great! I really enjoy the UI and the feel of this app.
@gkd@lemmy.world - any plans to allow for adding multiple accounts?
I just installed and loaded it up. This looks like a fantastic start. I hope I can provide feedback as I use it more!
