As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!

    Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?

    Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.

    iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).

    While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.

    Any chance the Android build will make it to F-Droid?

    The more options the better. I'm excited to try the Android version.

    This looks super promising! I love the inspiration from Apollo being a user for many, many years. Looking forward to a testflight/release :)

    Great job all involved! So happy to see people trying to make usability apps/features! The color indicators for chat are great!

    Awesome! I am looking forward to it, and I love that it's made for both major platforms :-)

    Every app that ever gets created for this will be called an Apollo “Clone” or “copy” and twenty years from now people will ask, “what was so special about Apollo”?

    You just had to be there I guess.

    Can we help the project?

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 3 years ago (2 children)

    I'm in the majority, but I don't even care if an app gets made (obviously I support it though). I used Apollo on Reddit, because Reddit's mobile design was complete shit. However, Kbin and Lemmy actually look great in a mobile browser, so I really have no need for a separate app.

    Artemis is a great name for the app by the way.

    Needs an option to move the arrows to the right-hand side so I can scroll with my thumb and tap the arrows with the same thumb. Also, needs a light mode, quick account changing, and community muting for when browsing All.

    Ive been thinking about customizations like that while working on it. I want localization, so everything already has right to left support. I can use that piping to help w moving arrows.

    Also, youll be able to double tap to vote ;)

    (Community muting is a must for sure)

    @hariette

    One thing I hated about Apollo was swiping gestures. I don’t use them and they get in the way so many times. Sometimes, I didn’t even know that I upvoted/downvoted a post unknowingly! I can’t disable it coz I’m a freeloade so I have no complaints.

    I just want to suggest that it would be nice if you give users an option to disable the gestures if the app has them.

    I never used Apollo since I've always been an Android user, so I don't know what features will be inspired from it, so I wanted to ask whether there would be in-app browser support for links so it doesn't open other apps? And will there be plans for gesture navigation support like the Relay and Joey apps?

    I used Relay for a couple years way back. You betcha I’m gonna get as much as I can in smooth gesture interactions 👌

    And yea, it uses an in-app browser. Will expose config for those who want that off, also.

    Also, I heard a lot of great things bout Joey, so I gotta get my hands on it 👀

    Alright, now I'm even more excited! Thanks a bunch for putting time into this.

    Got a link to your alpha/beta sign up? I'd definitely be interested and trying it out.

    Hoping for a RIF style theme, I really appreciated the simple information dense style it has

    Developing as x-plat codebase. And we have an equal split of beta testers across platform. So wanna prioritize em equally!

    in the coming weeks there will be some waves of rollouts to testers. Hopefully we’ll go public not far from there :)
