We're making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is... a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we're going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.
We Need Your Help
Right now, we're mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:
- Swift - async/await
- Rust (to read Lemmy source code)
- Lemmy
- OpenAPI
- Automated tests - UI and unit testing
- Accessibility UX for Touch (focusing on deaf and blind users)
- International data policy compliance
Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we'd like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.
EDIT: THIS ROUND OF RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED
We want to thank the Mlem community for the unprecedented turnout! We have recruited some amazing developers and creatives to the Mlem Team, and we're hard at work making a great app for everyone! Stay tuned for great things!
Cheers!
The Mlem Team
That license is... not appealing to contribute to. GPL or MIT or CC0 for me. Non-commercial licenses are the worst.
I'm not super familiar with the nuances of licensing--what's different and why is it a deal-breaker for you?
First time I've seen The Commons Clause; it's … interesting?
It's not the first time I've seen it, and I don't know how to feel about it. It's not free software at the very least.
