By the way! If you ever had any problems with loging in using Leomard, this update should address that. I noticeds there was a bug with parsing Instance data regarding registration method, which is resolved now :)

…this is literally something an intern could write in a single afternoon.

I guess I am a cross between “Normie” and “Conservative”. I use macOS and Fedora daily, I watch MKBHD but also watch FOSS YouTubers. I use WhatsApp, but only because, in Netherlands, it’s impossible to live without it. I don’t use any Chromium, and I use Firefox, but I also use Safari.

Fuck getting labeled.

I like 2019 more.

The “test” being whitelisting Chrome/Safari user agent? Because Bing AI works perfectly fine in Safari, as long as you change your user agent to Edge’s.

Hello everyone!

After a hard week of work, and tremendous help from boscojwho on GitHub, is here! This update brings many, many new features. Of course, we’re still far away from making it 100% feature complete, but it’s slowly getting there: we’ve got multi-account support, uploading photos, searching, support for “@athlon@lemm.ee” and “!leopard@lemm.ee” links, and more!

This update not only brings new features, but also optimization improvements, which should help with the post load times, app load times and more. Here’s the full changelog:

Note: You will have to log in again, because the app now uses a different method of storing the authorization tokens. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Added

  • Added status indicator when sending a post (#7)
  • Added alert when sending/editing post/comment fails
  • Refreh button in the inbox
  • Replies sort method for inbox
  • Profile view sort method
  • Added status indicator when sending a reply
  • Multi-account support (#22)
  • Confirm delete post/comment
  • Blocking users
  • Blocking communities
  • Update checking on launch
  • Image uploading
  • Search within community
  • OP indicator in the comments
  • Post reporting
  • Comment reporting
  • Bots are now marked with "🤖" emoji
  • Support for "!community@instance" and "@user@instance" in Search

Changes

  • Massive refactoring of code and general optimization, thanks to boscojwho on GitHub
    • Post views are now a bit prettier
    • Replaced stock AsyncImage with Nuke
    • Improved load time of the app (both from cold start and from background)
    • API request handler is now running in separate thread, which should speed up the app
  • 2FA key field is now always present in the login view (seems like some Lemmy instances change the response text when 2FA is enabled, so the app can't reliably detect if 2FA is enabled)
  • Many UI improvements

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed notification counter not updating (#9)
  • Unread message count should update, as soon as you reply to a message from the inbox
  • Post creation popup content never gets cleared (#6)
  • Fixed images in comments overflowing the comment box, if the image was placed in line with text
  • Fixed duplicate posts and comments

Removed

  • Experimental settings

EDIT: Oh yeah, you don’t have to look here for app updates anymore - the app checks for update by itself and will notify you :)

Well, in case of Gimp for Windows, it also doesn’t help that it uses a modified GTK. So, when you start on Gimp on Windows, the program must load all the GTK libraries first, while on Linux the shared libraries are already loaded.

It seems easy, but the moment you ask the user to “choose their instance” - you already push away a lot of untechnical people. What is an instance? How do I know which one is good? Will I be able to talk to people on other instances (look at Lemmy, some instances are blocked by other instances)? Why do I even have to choose an instance?

From an UX standpoint, that’s a disaster. Stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon will remain forever a niche, because of that.

EDIT: Typo

Okay, try explaining it to my 51 years old father. Or someone who really isn’t into tech in general.

Federated stuff will work for you and I - technically knowledgeable people. But we are a tiny fraction of population. The success of WhatsApp lays in its super simplicity.

[–] athlon@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Oh I think there is hundreds reasons to shit on Apple, but this ain’t one of them.

[–] athlon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great! If you’re technical and not have iOS. That’s already 50% of British market not using it.

Besides, it won’t help you if that’s a government mandate, and Google will be forced to take it down for the UK market from the store. Not a lot of people are installing apps from outside the Play Store.

Everyone commeting here saying “good, we will switch to X” is absolutely stupid. This law means no iMessage, no Signal, no WhatsApp, no Telegram, no secure encrypted messaging for anyone.

[–] athlon@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t use Android. Besides, it’s written in SwiftUI so porting it would be impossible

You can guess what it is.

 

Hello! I have made a macOS client for Lemmy - Leomard. It's an initial version of the app, and my first macOS app made for the public.

Features

  • Mac-native client
  • Fast, small and light (only 9.2 MB)
  • Open source (GPLv3)
  • Beautiful responsive interface

Of course, it's a very early version, some features are missing (ex. image uploading), and you may encounter a bug here and there.

Don't forget to follow Leomard's community: !leomard@lemm.ee

Or jump straight to the project’s Git: https://github.com/Athlon007/Leomard

If you have questions, feel free to ask :)

Hi everybody! This is the initial release of Leomard - a native macOS client app written in Swift using SwiftUI. It’s still in very early phase of development, features are missing, but it’s a start. Feedback is most welcome!
