Hi, Connect 1.0.59 brings a new profile page, improvements to how routes are handled within the app, and a host of new settings. I hope you like it!

I'm still thinking about what a 'new to Lemmy' onboarding might look like. Also I know some people reported issues with the markdown editor yesterday, if this version still have issues please add a comment and I'll try and sort them out today!

What's new

Community name and user name are now direct links, with a setting to disable it.
Added a quick link to the official community within the app
Added confirmation on exit app
Added swiping on the left edge of home will open the drawer.
The drawer navigation actions should be more responsive now
Added an option to adjust how nested comments look. Also I added a couple presets within Settings to change it. I hope you like the presets I've chosen.
Added some improvements to the profile page. Tabs for overall/posts/comments and a page header
Added some haptic feedback for swipe actions

Bugfixes

Fixed comment cards in the reply view are no longer clickable
Fixed a three dot menu being invisible (web)
Fixed some routing issues when creating a comment or editting a comment. Instead of the previous state being in history it should now show only the state after the change.

Also please let me know what you think of the colour palettes I've chosen for the comment lines. If you're thinking of one that would be cool I'm happy to add it in :)

Those are some nice changes!

The previous history being shown after editing a comment was particularly annoying. Glad you fixed that.

Oh and since it seems like you're working on the user experience side of things, I made a post here with some suggestions for you to consider regarding the app!

Great work, thank you so much!

Any chance you could support custom tabs? Using the open for anything that currently doesn't work leaves me in webview, which neither has my logins nor tge features I need from my browser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's an option to force opening links in browser if that's what you're looking for.

[–] Redjard 1 points 2 years ago

Not really, that opens as a full link, not a custom tab. Custom tabs are basically like webview but open to other browsers that don't track you. They also include addons if your browser has any.
Further that option makes everything open externally, even images and links. I would like to only see the things replaced that currently open in system webview, like posts with (most types of) links, or the "open" button in various menus.
I can't read websites well without certain addons for example, so I am forced to tap the "open external" of the webview every time.

The keyword is "android custom tabs" or "chrome custom tabs" I think.

Deleted comments still appear, just with a "deleted" indicator next to them. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, then maybe there could at least be an option to not display the deleted comments?

Favorites are not sticking for me.

Edit: They're staying now but there seems to be some wonkiness.

Finally got the update. Some great improvements in there! Had to reconfigure my settings, but that only took about 30 seconds.

The swipe to open side menu does seem a bit glitchy, however.

It seems to open the side menu at the same time you swipe back to your home screen. Unfortunately, I just have to immediately clear it away to see my home screen.

Once you're actually on your home screen (which is where you'd expect it to work), swiping doesn't do anything.

Of note, I'm talking about the swipe action to the right from essentially anywhere on the screen. ~~If there's a separate action I'm missing from the extreme left edge, that being overridden by Android's own built-in back gesture.~~

EDIT: Oops. My bad. The Android extreme edge swipe does open the menu from the home view. I'd just not been using it in favor of the swipe from anywhere.

Hello, I just heard about this app and tried it out. It's instantly become my favorite as being most similar to RIF of the ones I've tried. I figured posting feedback and bugs to the current release thread will keep things the most organized.

[Bug] Post titles do not display for me (Galaxy Fold 4) in open/closed mode. I've tried toggling through the various themes and post view styles with no luck. Screenshot

[Request] When clicking on a comment, it expands to display ways to interact with it. If you click on another comment, the options for the previous comment remain visible. The "ActiveComment" should be the only one with visible options to conserve screen space.

Aaah great update, love the new settings.

What makes me wonder, why is the function going to the community inside dot menu of the top comment and not in the top menu bar?
