Thank you CreatureSurvive for creating the best Lemmy app I’ve used (lemmy.world)

Like a lot of us, I came over to lemmy after that whole Reddit API thing. I had started using Reddit shortly after AlienBlue came out, and with Apollo I was a cemented user. I enjoyed the discussions and the communities, but for me it’s all about the UX. Life is too short for crappy apps, and I hate using webUIs on my phone.

It was shortly after that that the first iOS clients for lemmy started shipping, and I think I might have tried them all. I still have six or seven installed on my phone. They all have their problems, and they’re all different. A couple of them are decent enough that they’ve become the only two that I use, but because both have their own (and different) warts, I’ve just been going back and forth.

So, thank you for what is obviously a lot of hard work, and thank you for making it available to people. You are a very talented developer and designer. This is now the only app I need.

Avelon and Voyager have been my main two. There’s always going to be variability in user preferences, and if there was a feature request system for Arctic I’d certainly have some strong suggestions, but for an app that just dropped it’s remarkably mature.

Yes, users will always have differing preferences. I encourage everyone to try the available clients and find which one suits them the best.

I don’t have an official feedback system set up just yet. For now I’m just asking everyone to submit a post here, or ask me in a comment reply/message. I’ll setup a request form on GitHub over the weekend so we can keep requests organized. I try and respond as quick as I can, and I’m almost always happy to any requested features, big or small.
