Hey there!

I just published Voyager's new promo site at https://getvoyager.app/. This site is intended to be an easy way to share the app with your friends and family. Let me know what you think! I'm hoping to roll out a couple more improvements to user onboarding soon™️, so stay tuned.

In other news, I hope you like the latest app update! ICYMI: the video player was significantly revamped, you can now upload videos (assuming lemmy instance support: keep reading...), and Android users can now long press links to preview the url, as well as for share/copy/open options.

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/releases/tag/2.26.0

Speaking of videos: If you've ever wondered why videos sometimes fail to play in iOS, it's because many Lemmy instances are misconfigured. Please share this site I just published with your Lemmy admin to help debug issues: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming Around 50% of instances are misconfigured 😳 so I really appreciate your help on getting the word out to admins! 🫡

I see gestures as one of the promoted features on that site. Is there a way to use gestures for navigation instead of actions? That is the one feature keeping me from Voyager. I want to be able to swipe to go back, etc., not swipe to upvote, etc.

Should be... Although, I believe on Android + system 3 button nav + android specific voyager theme, it doesn't have navigation swipes. the iOS theme should. There might be a way to get it working, I'd have to check

Neat, it does work if I switch to the Apple theme! One criticism that I still have about it is that it only works when swiping from within the left 10% or so of the display. Which I assume is by design. It would be nice for the user to be able configure that threshold up to at least 50%.
