We’re making excellent progress in developing the app, but the work is… a lot. Currently, we only have a tiny group working on it, some full-time, some part-time, and we need more help if we’re going to meet the deadline of July 1 for 1.0-- and, realistically, to have a usable beta in the meantime to meet current demand.
We Need Your Help
Right now, we’re mostly looking for developers. Obviously, since Lemmy is an iOS app, devs should be proficient in Swift and SwiftUI and familiar with iOS app development. Additionally, we need devs proficient (or at least familiar) with:
- Swift - async/await
- Rust (to read Lemmy source code)
- Lemmy
- OpenAPI
- Automated tests - UI and unit testing
- Accessibility UX for Touch (focusing on deaf and blind users)
- International data policy compliance
Even if you only know some of this-or-that, you may be able to contribute, and we’d like to hear from you. You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.
Cheers!
The Mlem Team
Well this is exciting, can’t wait to see what comes out of it. If I knew Swift I’d love to contribute. Best of luck!
