FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.

Browser Icon in TL (beehaw.org)

I love this app. One small room for improvement is that the browser icon in the web link thumbnail (see image) can be distracting. Any ideas?

I'd, for example, place it bottom-right inside the image, as it's not a key information.

Illogical visual flow. We have seen slides that put the key information in the bottom right corner. ...Try to avoid those layouts if possible, in Western culture it’s preferable to put the most important elements at the top or center of the slide.

Sorry, I couldn't find a more authentic source but the above is a support.

That said, even if the icon is to be placed to the bottom-right, it'd still be distracting. Maybe increase color transparency, maybe there are better options.

Other apps solve do not link directly to URLs fron TL in the first place. Maybe that's the solution. If I'm going to jump to an article, I will also open the thread anyway
