Screenshots
Here’s some cool app store screenshots of the app:
Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I’ve had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.
I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!
Thank you, Sigve Rokenes
Does the app supports sharing (stream of) comments as pictures?
Installed and set it up and it’s a very nice and impressive app! Will jump between voyager, memmy, and this to see which one I stick with.
Big Congratulations evgiz,
I’m sure the love and fan base for Avelon will only grow from here on just the way we loved it here in TestFlight…
I wish you all the success and growth with Avelon development.
Thanks and really happy for you.
The app is not bad. The browser needs reader mode. Give the choice to make it all black.
I hope you can keep reader mode with the browser you’ve used. I love the done/close button being in the bottom!
Not sure that’s possible unfortunately. Apple is a bit strict with their default web view so it can’t be customized as much. I’m pretty sure the one I’m using now doesnt support it unless I do some kind of custom web parsing stuff from scratch
Love the app. Two questions.
I feel like I’m missing something obvious, but how do I create a new post? I can reply easily but when I’m in a community I don’t see any way to create a new post. I assume I’m missing something obvious.
Second, the full page swipe is fantastic and something I love from Apollo. Would it be possible to support swiping the other way also? In other word, I open a post, accidentally swipe right, but then I could swipe left to go back exactly where I was. Another thing Apollo did so well.
Thanks for an awesome app.
Thank you!
Adding posts in not supported yet unfortunately. It’s a bit tricky to make a nice UI for that on mobile, but I’m working on it.
Love full width swipe back myself. I’d love to add the “forward again” swipe too, but it’s a quite a bit more complex to do. I’ll probably look at it eventually, but gonna focus on some other things first.
Let me know if you have any more feedback!
