  • I use that, too. Also features Picture in Picture, background playback, and the default video player.

    • scroll-to-top doesn’t work
    • back swipe is unreliable (works 30% of the time)
    • after going back you have to wait a second before you can scroll
    • no app icons packs
    • no haptics
    • text select doesn’t work if you immediately go down since it scrolls the page instead

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s still impressive. But I‘m very aware that it’s a web app and I have to step carefully. These might be small things, but they’re constantly annoying me.

  • Nothing is so perfect that it can’t be complained about. Also, voyager definitely has some (admittedly smaller) annoyances that stem from it being a web app.

  • The voting should’ve let us rank the icons instead of just choosing one (or at least choose multiple). That way, your second wish could count if the first one didn’t make it. Now, if the votes are split 1/3 each, you could end up with an icon that only 1/3 want, even if 2/3 preferred one of the other ones.

    The winner-takes-it-all voting is a bad idea.

  • There already are more submissions. They just picked out 3, you can check out the link at the top

  • Yes, I think even if it’s just a wrapper and nothing else changes other than the app being in the App Store, that’s probably worth it because you’d get more users.

  • I don’t think them making the native app wrapper means the PWA is going away

  • Is that legal? ^^ Probably my favorite of the Lemmy app icons so far

  • I agree, that’s what the "sort of" stands for. Depending on how the implementation would look like, it might still make some of the small annoyances that I currently have go away (scroll-to-top, back swipe, scrolling hiccup, multiple app icons, haptics, …).

  • will likely be coming though

    ^^

  • I really like A, feels very professional

  • Do you already have an idea of how the result might look like? Is it just going to be a web view, or could it actually take advantage of native functionality such as e.g. the back gesture, haptics, scrolling hiccups, scroll-to-top etc.?

  • I though C was the top one, but you’re right. One of the two there should’ve been up there, they look great.

  • Haha nice one^^ I think all of them are already a step up from the current one, but each of them definitely has some issues. Maybe if it makes some money Alex will be able to pay some designers or let people buy icon packs directly which could then be passed on to the creator.

  • A is probably closest to that

  • You’d probably have to reinstall it, but it should be possible, shouldn’t it?

  • Not sure if that’d be a good fit, since it’d be a bit of a floating head which isn’t the case if there’s no "background based in reality" as it currently is.

  • Isn’t that basically all of them ^^

  • I feel like it should be possible, at least on iOS you can already do it yourself with this shortcut.

    This is the post about it.

    You have to reinstall it though, not sure if that’s possible without doing so.

  • Does it have to be a svg version or what does it need?
