As a dev, I just want to express how much it warms my heart to see how kind and understanding the community's response to this news has been. You all are the best <3

Dev here. We're working to get a new TestFlight link up ASAP, the main blocker is Apple's review time since it technically counts as a "new app." We'll be putting out a statement to the community about all this later today.

Dev here. From what he's told us and the community, Mlem got too big too fast and became more work and stress than he wanted, and so he stepped away from the project. We on the dev team support him and wish him all the best, and are working to stand up a new TestFlight beta ASAP. There'll be a community post about all this coming out later today.

David contributed so much in part because he was working on the project as a personal thing for a long time before any of us came along. That's what let us get such a quick jump on the Reddit migration--he'd already done the hard work of getting a working product off the ground, and gave us a foundation to build on.

Keep in mind also that the GitHub contributions only track code that's been merged. We have a lot of great stuff in-flight or sitting in PRs right now.

In short: we aren't worried.

Tracked and fixed, it'll be working in the next build. Thanks!

That feature should be coming in one of the next builds--the code is written and currently in review

It's coming soon! I just finished the implementation--the next build is already set so it won't be in that one, but it will be coming in the build after that

"Standard" groups the upvote and the score a little closer to each other and highlights both the upvote and the score when you upvote. "Symmetric" spaces upvote, score, and downvote out evenly, and only highlights the arrow when you vote.

We'll have another update out soon about how we're moving forwards, but rest assured we have absolutely no intention of adjusting the vision.

Glad you're enjoying the app! We're always looking for ways to make it better--what would you classify as the important features we're missing?

This is a known issue, the fix has been developed and will be out in the next build.

Thanks!

In the future we plan to offer many more customization options, including which sorts of posts get thumbnails and which side thumbnails show on. It's not in active development right now (we've got some core features like NSFW blurring that have higher priority), but I built the post display with customizability in mind so you have my guarantee that it's coming.

The API rejects the downvote. In the current build this shows up as the downvote being de-highlighted as soon as the API comes back with the failure response--in the future we'd like to have the downvote button disabled in instances where it's disabled, but that's a pretty low priority feature at the moment

We’re working on it! We have a PR that (should) do it, now I’ve just got to integrate that code into the existing codebase.

Currently the app just follows your system setting, but there's a pull request in the works to add the option to set it manually as well.

Thanks for the feedback!

Inbox and profiles are under active development and should be coming down the pipeline in the next couple days. Search, image tapping, better editing, and thumbnail hiding are all planned for 1.1, our first release after launching to the App Store.

The rest is all on the roadmap, but we haven't scoped development yet.
