I'm not yet ready for users (unless you want a lot of bugs 😅). > > I'll be sharing some development logs throughout the journey. Consider this the first of (hopefully many) entries! > > **Story time:** > > For years, I was an avid user of [Apollo for Reddit](http://apolloapp.io). I was an "ultra subscriber" and occasional donor, since I loved the app and [Christian Selig](https://twitter.com/ChristianSelig) was such a kind and engaged developer. He managed to build both an inspiring app and community. > > I was heartbroken when I learned Apollo would shut down due to Reddit's API changes. > > Lemon for Lemmy as an homage to Apollo and is greatly inspired by his amazing work (Thank you, Christian!) > > **Features** > > Some of the currently-working features are: > - 🔒 Logging in and registering (including instance search + information browsing such as user count, location, accepting memberships, etc!) > - 💡 Light and Dark modes > - 🔼 Upvoting / downvoting posts with optimistic updates and rollbacks (including swipe to vote!) > - 🚀 highly performant feed with infinite scroll > - 📚 persistent cache to read while you're offline > > My goal is to make this a fully featured Lemmy client for iOS, and hopefully one day as good as Apollo is/was! > > That's all for now. Here's some screenshots. Until next time! > >  >  >
