Loom (iOS & macOS) Beta
Aggregating aggregation. Providing everyone with a premium experience when interacting with federated servers. Meanwhile, providing view libraries and solutions for others to implement their own interpretations in the Apple ecosystem.
WARNING
- If Loom requests for "Local Network Access" it is because a neighboring server is using a localhost equivalent address. It is not because of the application itself. So please DO NOT ALLOW ACCESS. (unless you are expecting it).
Requirements
My local environment: Xcode 14.2 or later // macOS (Intel) 12.6 or later // iOS 15.4 or later
Disclaimers
- Due to the nature of possible state schemas being changed. Saved data such as account information or bookmarks may be removed in future release versions (or not at all).
- Keychain access warning. Keychain is only used for STORING your passwords and nothing else.
Features
- Translated into 28 languages (MTL)
- Bookmarks are locally stored for offline viewing
- IPFS Content generation (Add your own config, gateway, etc)
- Login, Create Posts, Comments, Interact, update profiles as normal
| Expanded Layout (iPad/macOS) |
|
 |
Granite supports macOS. Same navigation API can direct window spawning or navigation stack pushing. |
 |
Spawn multiple windows of entire feed layouts with multiple communities to observe. Will be helpful in the case of moderating multiple communities for instance. |
| Looms |
|
 |
Create "Looms" of any group of communities from any instance. Merging their content into a singular feed. |
| Explore |
|
 |
Visit linked instances when connected to a lemmy server. View small snippets of each and their ping response time. |
| Aggregation Sources (Aside from Lemmy) |
|
 |
RSS feeds can be pulled when setting the instance URL to a valid endpoint. Pagination is not currently supported, but will be in the future. Looking at supporting Atom/JSON streams as well. |
 |
Mastodon feeds can be pulled when setting the instance URL to a valid mastodon instance. Pagination is not currently supported, but will be in the future. Interactions are disabled for the time being 2023-9-4. |
| Safety |
|
 |
On-device CoreML models + keyword filtering to remove posts from the feed. NSFW Extended will remove posts that are detected as NSFW even if they are not flagged as so. |
| Styling |
|
 |
Intended to allow full user customization in the future. Currently supports a "social app feel" and a "reddit-like reader". |
| MD helper |
|
 |
Keyboard toolbar provides easy to access shortcuts on iPhone/iPad to help with Markdown formatting. |
| Travelling Modals |
|
 |
Writing modals can travel with your viewing context. Allowing you to browse content in any stack prior to publishing. |
| Bookmark Syncing |
|
 |
All your saved posts and comments can be switched between accounts in a dedicated component. |
| Sharing |
|
 |
Share posts or comments as images. With the intention of supporting QR codes and Engravings in the future. |
| Search |
|
 |
Either search all, a specific subcategory with sort support. View expanded contents within the view, interacting with content as normal. |
| Profile |
|
 |
Dynamic threads, despite viewing context. Swipe to reply to comments or tap the more button, to modify, remove, block, etc. |
 |
Deleting and restoring with toast reactions. |
 |
Switch accounts, view their profiles, and their scores. |
| Embedded Webview |
|
 |
Custom JS insertion supported, customizing how webpages are viewed via direct user input is a possibility. |
| Light Mode |
|
 |
Light mode and Dark mode supported. Refer to the color group in Assets to define your own preferences for each. |
Contributing
Loom uses Granite as a backing for components and services. The Components folder in this repo serves as a good example for many future components that may be needed. Any suggestions on Granite or other component layouts as a whole is greatly appreciated. Always feel free to open a PR and/or Issue.
An interactive websites to generate boilerplate components using a GUI to define styling and needed state properties is in the works! This will allow you to simply download the generated component and drag into XCode for immediate use.
Why Granite?
Mostly because of Relays and project organization. I'd say testing too, but once I get around towards writing the unit tests, I'd feel more confident in sharing the strengths then. These work like @Observables/@AppStorage, but are more flexible in initializations and caching data. The ability to simply declare relays in any View or GraniteComponent allows for a more effective iterative process and cleaner context passing throughout the application.
