    Does this guy even sleep, so many updates and it gets better and better. Thanks very much for the good work. Just downloaded it and it works perfectly also as App.

    Is it weird that I like the iOS mode look rather then the Android one on my Android phone?

      It looks like a very old version of Android. Sync is much better in terms of adopting the new Material You design philosophy.

        Ah that’s why Sync looks so ugly with it’s off-red color to everything? Damn. Do you know whether I can turn that off?

          It is probably basing the colour scheme on your background? You can turn this off in the theme settings.

          It’s basing the color scheme based on the main accent color you choose.

          Set it to blue and set the intensity to minimum, and you’re good. Ideally paired with AMOLED black mode and extra powerful dark mode.

          Sync uses Material You. It’s using the colors of your wallpaper. And you can customize the theme manually on settings. Here's how it looks for me, for example.

            wallpaper… i am always surprised that people give a shit and set a wallpaper on a mobile device…

            in any case, thanks for the feedback, that is an interesting setting.

              Why wouldn’t you set a wallpaper? It’s a good way to personalize your phone and make it unique

                Because I would never see it. Either I want an app so I am looking for that, or using an app, so I am looking at that. Black saves battery and makes it easy to see what I want.

                It’s interesting thinking about it, I have very simple wallpaper on my linux desktop (no photo just very slowly changing shape/color pattern, but I do not have icons on the desktop at all. I turned that functionality off.

                I wonder if I would think differently about my phone if I didn’t have icons to interact with on the screen?

              Customization is a big selling point after all. Just see how much hype there was for iOS 15 only because you could finally customize the lock screen.

      Not weird. I’m an android user, but I like the iOS look a lot better. iOS does look better thank than android.

      It’s basically the web app but with haptics and better back gesture support

      • Mrrdrr@sopuli.xyzEnglish

        The back gesture is actually stopping me from using it. It registers both in-app back gesture and the operating system gesture at the same time. It skips the main feed with the two backs, goes all the way back to the communities screen and forgets where it was on the feed.

      It basically is, this is just a wrapper that lets the web app hook into a few more native things like haptics

    Thank you for all of the hard work you have put into this project. This app is amazing. I’m just shocked at how quickly you work.

    Is there a way to point the Play Store version of the app to my Voyager container running on my server?

        I installed it as a web app earlier. I don’t recall conflict with back gesture. What’s the issue with back gesture?

          You know how in Android the back button is sometimes not a back button? It sometimes transforms to a close button (modal, image overlay, keyboard, etc.)

          With an app built for iOS, these “close on back” was not working

            As a web app, such behaviour will also need to be programmed to work on a browser first. Packaging it for Play Store should not grant that behaviour automatically.

            (2) Image overlay For Voyager, back button for image overlay works in browser.

            When opening an image viewer, the web app triggers a browser history change like this:

            1. Browsing on feed - https://vger.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
            2. Opening an image viewer - https://vger.app/posts/lemmy.world/all#galleryOpen

            ^ notice the extra #galleryOpen

            When back button is triggered, the web page will listen to a “back” event, and close the image viewer.

            (3) Keyboard: Keyboard is a native UI. So triggering “back” will always close the keyboard

            (1) Modal / bottom sheet

            But… I couldn’t figure out this one yet

            Clicking on the “3 dots icon” in a post opens a bottom sheet interface.

            Play Store version response to back button properly. But the web app version does not.

    Voyager is great but it should be noted that this is just a glorified web app.

          I agree, but trust me: Voyager is the best webapp I’ve ever tried. It truly feels like a native app.

      But the web app spams my browser history with everything I ever touched on Lemmy. I absolutely don’t want that. It is nice to have the app separate from my chrome history.

      So what? For a hybrid app like that to be smooth and performant, he has my kudos. If I hadn’t already seen this running in a browser, I don’t think I would have realized it was. I personally like the Sync experience, but it’s really cool to have lots of different choices that use different tech.

    It took over the top spot with Connect for me. Voyager gives me instant reddit vibes like the Apollo app. Great layout. It’s super smooth.

      Yeah, I had tried a few and settled on Connect as my app of choice. I think this just took over that spot.

      I read what you said and completely missed it. It’s there, but pretty hidden. Might not even be known. I’m not sure that makes it bold.
