The whole app feels broken right now. Is there a way I can support you to fix it? The last couple of days seem to be getting worse, especially from a UX perspective.
I’ve loved your app since the beginning, but it’s becoming totally unusable, and the UX seems to be going backwards.
I made a comment this week about rainbows, but honestly fuck that. There are massive issues now that dwarf rainbows. I genuinely want your app to succeed; are these issues deliberate design choices or bugs? I can’t tell at this point (I’ve been a designer and developer, including on iOS, for decades so I feel like I should be able to tell the difference, but I honestly can’t tell).
Most of it is from 2 things:
- Switched component libraries - from Native Base to Gluestack. This is not an easy change.
- Switched state libraries - from Redux to Zustand. This is not an easy change.
No we have not made our app broken on purpose… If you want to help, feel free to contribute on Github. If there are massive issues you are running into at least tell us what they are. Give us constructive feedback. Not “This is unusable”. Also gk and I have both been taking some time off so that’s why a lot of these issues haven’t been fixed immediately. We are mildly burnt out.
Hey buddy. You dropped this 👑
Take care of yourselves. We appreciate what you’re doing.
What a frustratingly unhelpful post. Reddit has been a website for over a decade and it’s apps existed just as long. Lemmy and memmy are extremely new and there just hasn’t been the time yet to create something super polished like Apollo. Everyone has to give it time, including the devs. They have lives and the same 24 hours a day we all do. Be patient. Shit will break, things will have to be backtracked… that’s the way progress works.
god bless your soul
Look, I’m frustrated right now. I’m sorry.
OP,
I’ve been a user of Memmy for approximately 3.5 weeks. I’ve been a contributor to the app for about 3 weeks. I believe my first interaction with this community was to mention a bug or feature shortcoming. The second interaction was in Discord asking about how I can get involved.
Nobody here is getting paid. Complaining doesn’t help anything. If you want to log issues, submit issues in GitHub. If you want to help, join the conversation in Discord.
I’m just a fraction of the contribution of a few of the main devs and this is my take:
Realize we all have lives and jobs. None of us are making any money off Memmy.
If you don’t like where Memmy is, get involved.
If you don’t want to get involved, Fuck Off.
Have you contacted the dev? Also, App Store version or beta?
I’m using the current App Store version and can edit posts, etc. Everything seems to be functioning smoothly here.
GitHub, read the community description and the file on contribution.
Jesus, I can’t edit. This is very frustrating. I have to go back to the godawful safari on iOS nonsense. This is impossible.
You may want to install the app store version of you are not willing to help test the TestFlight version, which sounds like the case.
I’ve uninstalled, rebooted my device, and reinstalled. I’d love to know when Memmy isn’t broken because I did love it since it was similar to my beloved Apollo.
It’s gonna be broken occasionally, Memmy has been under development for 1.5 months. Apollo was under development for 10 years.
As multiple have said, if you can’t handle the Test Flight version being buggy, use the App Store version. The Test Flight is a beta version, of course it will have bugs. The App Store version is a full release, meaning it will be significantly more stable and less buggy.
