We’re making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is… a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we’re going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.
We Need Your Help
Right now, we’re mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:
- Swift - async/await
- Rust (to read Lemmy source code)
- Lemmy
- OpenAPI
- Automated tests - UI and unit testing
- Accessibility UX for Touch (focusing on deaf and blind users)
- International data policy compliance
Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we’d like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.
Cheers!
The Mlem Team
I know you said you’re focused on development, but I have a long career in technical documentation and marketing communications. Would love to contribute if you need help with keeping externally-facing things spelled and communicated correctly.
Experience designer here. Run a design team for a large ecommerce company, but I’m happy to help with stuff on the side.
The fact that you’re using a lot of standard iOS components means that it would be fast to mockup UI with Apple’s figma component libraries.
I’m not a mobile dev (python/backend), but as a huge fan of Apollo, I’m loving how you’re designing the app. You guys got this! And maybe I’ll be working swift soon and can help out.
Windows dev primarily, but absolutely engaged to test the hell out of this app! Here to make it the best we can
Is there a way to use this on iOS 15?
