Hi! I was just browsing Lemmy apps and came across this. I just wanted to say, this is AMAZING for a web app. I was previously using jerboa, but honestly this feels smoother. The only really prior experience I had with PWAs was an app for my work, which is super janky, not to mention most mobile websites are awful. Not so here. I will definitely be using this now.

I've been testing other Lemmy iOS apps (Mlem, Avelon, Thunder, Lemmios, Liftoff, Memmy and Bean), and for me personally, Voyager beats them all in terms of design, features, releases and app performance.

The latter rather surprised me, but when scrolling and otherwise interacting with a post with a very large number of (nested) comments, Voyager showed no hiccups whatsoever, while some of the native apps really struggled.

Yes, I know the scrolling sometimes "hangs", but that's because of a bug with Safari, not Voyager, so you can't really fault the app for that (well you can, but I won't).

Great work, much appreciated. This certainly helps to cope with the loss of Apollo.
