Here’s some cool app store screenshots of the app:

Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I’ve had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.

I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!

Thank you, Sigve Rokenes

    It looks really nice! Any plans for an Android version, or is this gonna be iOS-only for now?

      The app is written natively for iOS, so an android version is not possible unfortunately.

        I absolutely love that you created a native app, as it’s amazingly fluid, well-integrated and beautiful, though it unfortunately came at the cost of making an Android version not possible.

        Thank you for making this!
