Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app.

The app is very much still a work in progress, but I’s like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented:

Screenshots

Already implemented:

• Anonymous browsing;
• Login;
• Multiple accounts support;
• Account switcher;
• Post cards
• Sorting posts by Lemmy’s sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc…);
• Listing posts by Lemmy’s listing options (Subscribed/Local/All);
• Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save;
• Mark post as read;
• Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background);

What’s next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP):

• Post view (see post’s comments);
• Add a comment to a post;
• Create a post;
• A sexier selected account card on the sidebar;

What’s still to do before I can call it a beta version:

• Profile view;
• Community view (rules mods other details);
• Search;
• Dark mode;

What’s to come after:

• Custom theming/Material You support;
• Advanced post filters;
• Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group);
• A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible;
• Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc)
• Other cool misc options.

Dreams:

• Kbin and Mastodon accounts support.

Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can’t promise anything :)

EDIT:

This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could.

I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e

The app name probably will be “Beyond” as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous “To Infinity and Beyond” phrase :)
