Thanks for subscribing and bearing with the awkwardness of renaming over the next week or so :)
I’m gonna miss wefwef honestly, the name really grew on me.
It’s like woofwoof but for those with a weird lisp.
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!
For people looking for the link
Haha, vger, like in Star Trek. Love it.
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.
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.
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!
Will Voyager be available in app stores?
It’s a web app so there’s no point
There is a point because its much easier to get people to start using an app they can get from app stores. Also lots of apps are built as web apps regardless
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!!
I’m feeling little taps when I collapse threads and reply and stuff.
Are you using 0.16.1+?
I have the latest and I don’t feel anything. Weird. Maybe I’m missing something? Like typing right now I feel the keypad haptics but bot when I interact with this app.
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?
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
Congrats. I love how every time I log on, there’s a new update to wefwe-Voyager.
It’ll always be wefwef in our hearts.
It’s a real treat for Upgrade Whores like me!!
Thanks!!
Noooo! Main reason I’ve stuck with wefwef over Memmy is the name. Voyager is bland and boring.
Just change the name to wefwef when you add it to your home screen.
can’t on android but it’s still my favourite client
What? Maybe get a better launcher.
no i like oneui home
It doesn’t let you rename icons?
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
Uh, this is awkward. I still have Voyager the crypto app that went bankrupt installed.
You’ll be up to Voyager 6 before you know it!
This is a much better name. I love the reference to Apollo.
Although, saying wefwef was fun.
It’ll be a weird change, but it’s a great name!
It’s kind of generic though isn’t it? I liked wefwef it was pretty fun
Honestly, the name was a big reason I downloaded it, along with how active the developers have been. I keep forgetting the names of the other apps. Wefwef stood out, along with the cute mouse.
It seems like the users are happy with the name change, and I’m excited for the devs to be working on their finished concept.
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?
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.
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 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
I tried on android with mull browser and chrome and windows with firefox and chrome. They all say my password is incorrect, but going directly to lemmy.world works fine.
And yeah I’m aware of the apollo/voyager connection, but the character specifically refers to itself as “VGER” like vger.app. That’s why I thought of star trek.
Is anything changing for the docker version of the app?
Maybe the package name? Not sure how GitHub handles that
Yes, the repository changed name. I did substitute wefwef with voyager and everything is fine and updated to the latest version.
Great! :)
Hmmm… Voyager… Great name !
