I’m looking for new apps to try out. I have a soft spot for apps that are written in Swift or at least follow Apple’s HIG. I’m also curious to know what you use these apps for!

I feel that comment section has too much excess space even with user logos, etc disabled. Compact mode for posts is perfect. I would love to have the same for comments. For comparison on my iPhone mini screen, 7 comments on Voyager fits in the space that 4 comments on Mlem does

    If you’re looking for a handheld emulator, I recommend the Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX. They’ll last you years longer than the cheapie ones that play NES games since they have community custom firmware. Plus they play way more: NES, SNES, Gameboys, PS1, Genesis, etc.

    MSRP on these are ~$50-60. However you can get them for as low as $25-30 if you use Chinese sites like TEMU. If you’re curious I can send you more info

    Liftin (iOS, watchOS) is a new one I discovered recently. It looks and feels like an extension of the Apple Workouts app geared towards strength training

  • It seems that many popular mobile apps nowadays have their own design language. I like uniformity between my apps so I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. For example, apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS app
