Hey folks! 🏄‍♂️

First things first:

I have been absolutely floored at the positive response you all have had for Lemon! I frankly did not anticipate so much support and positivity. I want to thank each and every one of you for that!

second things… er… second:

Apologies I’ve been slow to update you all! I want to be clear: Lemon is not dead, and is very much still in active development!

I had a very hectic past couple of weeks in my personal/professional life, and so I haven’t had as much time to dedicate to Lemon as I would have liked. Combined with the 4th of July holiday here in the US and some other travel I had planned, my free time was limited. But fear not! We are rapidly approaching a testflight release for iOS! 🎉

What features are currently working for 🍋 ?

Right now, I have:

• signing in with instance search
• light and dark modes
• upvoting / downvoting / saving / commenting
• rendering post feeds, comment threads
• collapsing posts, comment threads
• in-app browser (ie for links, media)
• native image / gallery viewer
• community search bar
• comment / post sorting
• basic account / community / instance filtering (WIP)

What about the other things you said in DevLog[0]? >:(

Yes! So I ended up removing account registration and offline persistent cache for now. These features will both return, but I wasn’t happy with some of the bugs. Just about any engineer will tell you that there are two hard problems in CS: naming things, and cache invalidation. I personally think there’s more hard things than that, but needless to say, I want to make sure I get these pieces right before shipping them to you all!

Can we see 🍋 ?

Certainly! And since I made you all wait so long and you all were so patient while I got my 🍋’s together, I’ve recorded a small video!
