This can be considered v1.0 rc1 :)

Please let me know of any bugs!

BREAKING CHANGE

Voyager now connects directly to ALL Lemmy instances! If your Lemmy instance does not support CORS (using an old version of Lemmy), you will no longer be able to connect. Virtually all larger Lemmy instance have been upgraded with support for direct connect for Lemmy clients.

New features

New icon

Thanks very much to @fer0n for our wonderful new logo! This logo was chosen as part of our icon design contest. @fer0n also created a fantastic new splash screen for Voyager!

  • Want to get it? Remove and re-add the app to your homescreen. (Unfortunately, you will loose all settings + hidden posts)
  • Like the old icon? The old icon will continue to be displayed until you remove and reinstall Voyager to your homescreen.
  • Want a different custom icon? For iOS, check out this shortcut! https://routinehub.co/shortcut/15817

Custom swipe gestures

Thanks to @rsammelson for this great new feature! You can now customize swipe gestures however you desire - including turning them off. Check it out in Settings!

With this change, the long right swipe for posts is now bookmark instead of hide. You can change this back to the way it was in Gesture Settings, if you prefer!

Instance sidebar

From the Communities list, click the icon the header to view the instance sidebar! From here you can view the admins (and direct message them), as well as view other helpful information.

I couldn’t figure it out, so I just grabbed the latest version of Bromite off of GitHub and used it exclusively to generate a Voyager PWA app, lol.

Is there a way to confirm that the instance I’m on supports CORS before installing the update?

midwest.social is good :)

Anything running 0.18.2 should be good (with few exceptions for misconfigured servers)!

Jesus Christ this is one of the best apps that I’ve used and easily the best PWA. Thanks for your work!
