Lemur - Open source macOS Beta Release github.com

![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a4a0bd55-585a-47bc-bf3d-a15764bf4ca0.mp4) Repo: https://github.com/neatia/Lemur Beta testflight for iOS is on its way. In the interim a notarized macOS build is available in the releases of the repo! Base macOS build: https://github.com/neatia/Lemur/releases/tag/0.0.0 > I have yet to test this on M-Series Macs, as I still use Intel. Will still be able to provide fixes once I can source potential bugs (but most likely there shouldn't be any special to M~)

Lemur for iOS / macOS preview, priming for Testflight and Open-Source release! streamable.com

Priming the open-source repository and first TestFlight release. This will be the link to the open-source repository: https://github.com/neatia/lemur I have lots of interesting ideas that I have always wanted to execute on a platform such as this. Such as a democratic voting system on features, ways for community moderators to customize how their community looks, shareable cards to link communities to people on any platform and much much more. I am planning to provide enough documentation for others, who would like, to help contribute. But, I definitely intend to keep this project up to date and live on relevant app stores. Can't wait to hear feedback about the current state and improvements that need to be made.

Update 2023/07/29

Haven't really slept much today. Am really excited to cover these last bits up. But, have been spending time optimizing a lot of behaviors such as infinite scroll and other navigation actions. Early to Mid this week is looking good for a first iteration. I am still using an intel based Mac. So it would be really helpful to get some testers with M-chip macs for the mac app. I am also translating the app in over 20 different languages. Machine translated of course, but will request some professional services to tidy up some in the future, or community help is appreciated. Here are the language codes, if yours is missing do let me know. I'll add a new set! ``` English, Afrikaans, Arabic, Bangla, Danish, German, Greek, Spanish, Estonian, Filipino, Fijian, French, Hindi, Croatian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Odia, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Chinese (simplified & traditional), indonesian. ``` Also while I build out my app I created a Swift Package to interface with the LemmyAPI, so do feel free to use it if you need help building your own experiences. I have created a sort of higher level layer to make async/await calls more "swifty" in nature. But, you can still interface with it normally. As for that higher level layer, I am updating it as I go. It does have some extra features that auto updates the user object upon certain adjacent calls that need updated user data after some business logic executes, such as subscribed communities, etc. The higher level layer lets you simply do something like this after the call `Lemmy.user` to get those details without extra code to do so. I noticed [ImageUpload](https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/UploadImage.html) is not supported in some other swift available packages for Lemmy APIs, so I am adding support for that too. https://github.com/pexavc/LemmyKit (for the higher level interface, a lot more has been added than what the README suggests, can check it out in the Lemmy.swift file). Feel free to message me, if you need help. Edit: Just updated the swift package with image handling support on your pictrs urls Example: ```swift _ = Task.detached { let response = await Lemmy.uploadImage(data) guard let file = response?.files.first else { return } let deleteResponse = await Lemmy.deleteImage(file) ```

Remaining Tasks before initial Testflight

Pretty much the last mile - Community metadata (sidebar information, modlist, etc) - Initial set of customizable properties in settings - Using YOUR OWN IPFS Gateway for your Content Sharing/Storage needs (A default one is already implemented for use) - Profile overview - User Blocking/Registration/Messaging

iOS Basic interaction updates/preview! streamable.com

Also, all images for upload use IPFS for content storage out of the box. No need to to use up space on your server and/or use a third party CDN for assets. For managing the gateway for image uploads, I am still calculating the costs, but I will definitely allow you/the user to add their own IPFS gateways for their content being shared.

To prevent spam on this instance/community, debug/experimental feature posts will be made on the domain neatia.xyz

This domain is hosting my own instance of Lemmy. Will be testing some of the major features, post markdown. And probably just general spam when I am bored and want to post from Lemur.

[Feature][Build (2)] Steganography to prevent data mining/crawling.

An option and more of an thought experiment. Posts will only be readable via Lemur. A separate sdk is provided if other apps want to allow reading of these posts or to create them. This definitely hurts discoverability outside of Lemur/Lemmy though

[Feedback] Understanding bias is inherently flawed

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1885158 > Have had a few pet projects in the past around RSS aggregation/news reading, which could fact-check the sources/article while reading, also determining the biases from the grammar and linguistic patterns used by the journalist for the article. Same could be applied to comments. > > Wonder if such a feature had value for a reader app for Lemmy? I feel a definitive score is toxic. But, if it were to simply display the variables to look out for it can help make a objective decision yourself? > > Another application of this, is also pulling just the objective statements in the articles for faster reading. > > Edit: > More explained in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/1524807

[Suggestions] Catalog of Random Sources

Comments of problems I found from across Lemmy that could be resolved client side. 1. "This is why users need the ability to group multiple communities into supergroups" by [@LazaroFilm](https://lemmy.world/comment/1402388) a. Create a JSON format, propose to other Lemmy app developers to create some sort of standard?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1697415 > Been building out this application with some features I’ve always wanted in other readers. Like that experience shown when viewing comment threads and some others. > Few more key components are left, like accounts and mod view. > > But was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are and whether they like this design approach.
