Since a bunch of new commits/features have been accumulating over the last three weeks, I was wondering if there’s a specific reason for not putting them in a new TestFlight build?

There’s also a few pinned posts that can probably be unpinned if I may add :)

We're currently elbows deep a backend overhaul that should smooth out a ton of weird little state issues (things like the saved button "flickering" and interactions waiting on network round trip to apply). This touches so much of the app that shipping a TF now would turn up a ton of stale-on-arrival bugs, so we've been holding off shipping a TF until we get that merged.

By the same token, we're targeting a TF build more or less the moment that drops--the PR is https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/556 and it just entered draft yesterday, so I'm hoping to have it in by the end of the week.

Re: pinned posts, that's an instance sync issue as far as I can tell--they're not pinned on .ml, but we've heard similar reports from beehaw users.

Fair enough, I‘m certainly not trying to rush anyone I hope that didn’t come across that way. I was just wondering about the reason and that seems to be a pretty good one. Thanks for taking the time to answer :)

No worries! This has definitely been the longest span between TF builds.

By the way, I've gone and deleted all the posts that weren't unpinning properly--are they still showing up for you, or has that fixed it? There should just be the 1.0.1 announcement pinned and nothing else

All are gone except for this one which I guess is on purpose, so looks good thanks :)

I always welcome a new build if it will help your development! (Mlem is one of the highest quality apps I have used)

FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
