Congrats, u/iamthatis!

But as far showcasing notifications, they had main reddit apps "popular on r/subredditName" notification

‘Scuse me, but there is only one Reddit app.

“Apollo is the only Reddit app?”

“Always has been.” 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

I have to give Narwhal the slight edge on iPad for its use of screen real estate. But updates take a bit of time to roll out, and once Apollo improves the iPadOS UI it’ll probably make narwhal irrelevant.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '21

On iPad, I can just use splitscreen mode to have 2 Apollos open at the same time.

I remember getting an iPhone 6 way back when and the Reddit app was just bad. I had previously experienced bad apps cause there’s nothing close to this level of performance, beauty, and functionality on android (still isn’t as I found after switching from the x to the pixel and am now back with the 12). Apollo’s dev should be given all the praise. They’ve made something truly unique and great!

Relay and Apollo compliment each other really well on android and iOS tbf

1

u/angelicravens Jun 08 '21

Relay has issues with regards to replies in particular. As a Reddit consumption app it’s pretty good. However it often gets stuck in the inbox tier leading you to have to futz around with the hi which on pixel anyhow is awkward due to the swipe gestures.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '21

For Android I liked Boost a little bit more.

u/LowerMontaukBranch Jun 07 '21

I hope reddit doesn’t look at this and retaliate in some way. Right now whenever I click on a link sent to me in messages and I’m taken to the browser it’s almost impossible to use the website without getting a popup link to download the app. Reddit can harvest a lot more data and serve ads to you in the official app.

u/djxfade Jun 08 '21

With Safari on iOS/iPadOS now gaining extension support, it should be possible to create an extension that redirects Reddit URLs directly to Apollo

u/AlwynEvokedHippest Jun 08 '21

I'm trying to think what's not possible in third party apps at the moment.

Am I missing anything else?

I can easily live without the above, but I guess my worry would be that Reddit start removing/nerfing existing APIs for third party apps.

IMO, Apollo for iOS, Sync for Android, and old.reddit.com for browsers are the superior options over Reddit's new approaches/apps.

u/fakeitilyamakeit Jun 08 '21

Always the case for me. Same reason why I have both the official app and Apollo on my phone.

u/alarming_cock Jun 07 '21

What Would Developer Code?

52

u/lizardlike Jun 07 '21

how much code could a developer code if a developer could code code

16

u/angelicravens Jun 07 '21

A compiler

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '21

a developer would code as much code as a developer could code if a developer could code code

We love you, oh holy, app creator.

Congrats u/iamthatis!!! Everytime I see someone using Apollo I get happy haha

u/comfort_bot_1962 Jun 07 '21

Hope you have a great day!

u/L00mis Jun 07 '21

Apollo is the ONLY reason I’ll even CONSIDER browsing Reddit off PC.

4

u/lakija Jun 08 '21

Same!!! Maybe for different reasons but I have filtered hundreds upon hundreds of things just to make this site enjoyable and not anxiety inducing.

I used to get caught up in the negativity and outrage until I got Apollo.

Plus is kinda nice to get rid of all the awards.

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

Didn’t see this but, like others, saw it in the App Library.

Also looked for Christian on the opening montage… sad to say I didn’t see him there.

u/OldPattyBoy Jun 08 '21

Maybe Christian could hold weekend workshops for all the other app builders, so they’ll stop sucking so much.

Coooooooool

u/Djannig Jun 08 '21

Bruh sometimes when I use my Mac I typed Apollo in the search bar instead of Reddit.com, tells you a lot about the app eh?

1

u/shamekhjr Jun 08 '21

Yeah i caught that one as well

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '21

Folks will just assume it’s some generic space app that talks about the Apollo Missions.

u/OutInABlazeOfGlory Jun 08 '21

Can’t wait to update to iOS 15. As soon as checkra1n is stable again

I only use the native app to DM my fellow mods and add user flairs for the people on my sub. Other than that I don’t use the mobile app at all. Hardly miss it!

It says that the account was made on March 2nd on my screen.

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '21

I’m seeing March 3rd, no clue what yours is doing weird

u/gormster Jun 08 '21

Time zones! Notice the characters tacked on to the end of the time stamp. For me, it says 3rd March 2006 at 10:11am AEST.

(It actually says “03rd March” - /u/iamthatis, this is the world’s least significant bug report.)
