Thanks for subscribing and bearing with the awkwardness of renaming over the next week or so :)

Congrats!

I’m switching back and forth between wefwef and Memmy and I wish you the best!

Still hoping to customize swipe actions and a read indicator. The latter is already nicely implemented in Memmy.

I’m very excited about all the development of these apps. Thank you for all your hard work!

Haha, vger, like in Star Trek. Love it.

[–] lorax@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I am not an artist but a nod to either vger in Star Trek or to the Voyager series would be awesome. Like a lemming with a borg eye piece or something.

[–] Trifictional@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m gonna miss wefwef honestly, the name really grew on me.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It's like woofwoof but for those with a weird lisp.

[–] Jeff@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Really do think you’re closest to Apollo. Think only haptics is missing and that’s crazy given how short of a time you’ve been at it. Great work!!

Congrats. I love how every time I log on, there's a new update to wefwe-Voyager.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] nikt@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noooo! Main reason I’ve stuck with wefwef over Memmy is the name. Voyager is bland and boring.

[–] z2k_@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Just change the name to wefwef when you add it to your home screen.

Just to echo this, loving the app and the experience

[–] Tessa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It’ll always be wefwef in our hearts.

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's a real treat for Upgrade Whores like me!!

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

This is a much better name. I love the reference to Apollo.

Although, saying wefwef was fun.

[–] AdmiralGroceries@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please please please just make nsfw unblurable on certain accounts I willl completely switch over from Memmy once you add this feature.

[–] rsn@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Implement this as a Settings toggle, presumably?

[–] UhBell@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a new update or is it a new url?

[–] Larven@feddit.nu 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

vger.app

It's also in the sidebar.

[–] Tygr@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love the new app name, thanks for helping me not need to type WefWef except for this one last time. You absolutely rock!

You guys also fixed the long post bugs today. Totally impressed.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I’m glad you appreciate that bug fix! It took all day to fix.

Web apps controlling on-screen keyboards cross platform is really difficult, unfortunately!

[–] nix@merv.news 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Will Voyager be available in app stores?

And I still can't log into my lemmy.world account through this. Still not a big deal since I'm waiting for sync, but I don't get it. The same credentials work everywhere else.

By the way is the name referring to a certain star trek movie?

[–] null_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t have any issue on iOS/Safari for lemmy.world, what’s your OS and browser?

The name is a reference to the NASA missons (Apollo > Voyager), which is also referenced in Star Trek so it’s related in a sense.

Wefwef recently bugged out on me where I couldn't log into any instance or view any posts. Is this the same issue you're having or no? I had to delete the PWA, then navigate to my browser and delete all of the saved site settings for wefwef (or Voyager now). Then I was finally able to load the site again and log in.

What I occasionally have issues with in Voyager/wefwef is that I randomly cannot post comments because it asks me to select a language. My language is set to English in my profile, and no amount of fiddling with the setting seems to make the app function. Other times it's totally fine so I don't get it.

[–] GrossGhost@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think this is the issue. I can view posts. I'm greeted by a terrifying picture of Zuckerberg when I visit. And also I have the same problem on browsers I've never even used, like when I tested chrome. So Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

[–] Disasterpieces@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I love this web app but it keeps freezing after doing the side swipe gesture to go back to the main feed. Does it only happen to me?

[–] Deez@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Don’t tap for one second and it will unfreeze.

[–] Tatters@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, this is a common problem, something to do with web browsers.

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's so weird... It doesn't happen to me at all, in either Firefox or Edge.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

I've read people say this is an issue with safari on ios

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uh, this is awkward. I still have Voyager the crypto app that went bankrupt installed.

Is it possible to re add deeplinking support. Both wefwef and voyager seem to have lost the feature (Android).

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmm. I don't think Voyager ever had deep link support. But this is something we could add.

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry by deep link I meant open in function. Version 0.16.0 fixed it

Fix Android PWA appearing with chrome badge by @aeharding in #305

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Good to hear!! 😊

[–] ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do I need to change anything? I still have a PWA icon on my home screen called wefwef. Will that still get updates? Will it eventually change to voyager?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You can keep it and you will still get updates, but PWAs will keep the same old icon and name until/if you remove and re-add to homescreen

[–] Cullen@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'll be a weird change, but it's a great name!

[–] zos_kia@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

It's kind of generic though isn't it? I liked wefwef it was pretty fun

[–] coconutxyz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Let's gooooooooo

[–] Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You guys are kicking some serious ass with the updates and features.

I moved back to android off ios and the only real app I missed was apollo, so this is really scratching that itch!

I am still looking forward to sync for lemmy, but honestly with the rate that this is being worked on with this passion, I may just have to stick with weyager

[–] onde@jlai.lu 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hmmm... Voyager.... Great name !

[–] serverless@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is anything changing for the docker version of the app?
