Mlem is Great! But what really surprised me is wefwef, hands down the best PWA I’ve ever seen
wefwef is seriously one of the best PWA I’ve ever seen. I’m interested in trying out mlem once it goes live on the App Store
Why do you want to wait for the App Store version? FlightTest is made by apple, no jailbreak, no illegal things. It’s a separate App Store where you need an invite link to access an app. And here is the Link
You’re right, I don’t have a good reason not to use it other than preference. I used to be on beta for everything when I was on Android and when I switched to iOS I decided not to.
So why is that your preference? You didn’t really say.
Well I did mention why in my previous reply. I used to be on beta for all my apps but I got tired of things sometimes not working and having to update all the time and/or missing features. So now I prefer stable, more feature complete App Store builds. It’s just my preference.
Of the three I’ve used (Memmy, Mlem, Wefwef), Wefwef is the only one that seems to be able to tell that you’ve read a reply and stops showing it as unread. Unsure why. Very very pleased with Wefwef.
Sorry Dumb question but what’s a PWA vs TestFlight?
PWA- progressive web app
An app that is actually just a webpage that behaves like an app and runs through safari. A TestFlight app is a full regular iOS app but in beta so you install it from the TestFlight app like a different App Store.
Think when a new call of duty or other video game releases early in beta access. Same idea with TestFlight. Memmy is in TestFlight (I’m using it rn) but is being submitted for normal App Store release now.
It’s a shame Mlem doesn’t have an iPad version. This makes it unusable to me
Give it time, it’s on their backlog. They’re building everything crazy fast.
Looks like it’s already being worked on now. https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/167
Now is a native app too on testflight!
