A community for the mobile app Connect for Lemmy.
Amazing work, thank you. One piece of feedback: I would really love it if the top navigation would be visible after a bit of scrolling up, not after scrolling all the way up to the top (if that makes sense?).
RiF did that, after scrolling about half a page up, the top navigation came to view already, making it easier to navigate between top, best, saved, etc, and to access your settings and profile.
Would that be possible?
It already works like that, but you have to stop scrolling up, if you keep scrolling it will never show until you reach the top
Enable the "Sticky Top Bar" option under settings.
Thank you! Foind it, testing it already. Sadly not entirely sticky, but it does appear after a little while, which is better than without the setting!
Yes please!
To build off your comment. I would like to see the post topic in the top bar when browsing the comments, I sometimes forget what was the topic when I'm looking at comments (most of the time when I come back to it later). It would be nice not having to scroll all the way to the top. I hope that makes sense.
Also, a refresh button that's not in the sub menu.
Real talk: this app is great, and you've clearly poured like a month into it non-stop. Do you have a job? Is this your job right now? What's the financial plan for the app, or are you just winging it? ;)
I have a job in a related field, this is just for fun and I think having nice native apps will help Lemmy succeed as a platform.
You're awesome! If you're in Winnipeg, I'd buy you a beer :)
I noticed a buymeacoffee link in settings last week. Goto settings and scroll all the way down for the following URL
thank you
Looking good...
Also, in case anyone else was worried about it like me, I took one for the team and disabled both left & bottom drawers. Luckily, it adds a Setting icon to the top bar.
I would still argue that these options should probably be a toggle between left & bottom, though, since you still do lose links to stuff like your Profile, Inbox, and your subbed /c's
Extremely minor visual error when viewing a post...
It shows the post's instance as being on OP's home instance, rather than the /c's instance.
Working great! Thanks for the hard work!
Great work on the app! It's made the transition from reddit much smoother than the other apps I tried!
Question: Is there a way to disable the confirmation before opening links? It's a bit tedious to click on a link and then be asked "Are you sure?" every time.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Yeah good idea I'll see what I can do
I find the Comment Navigator confusing and non intuitive. Plus it moves the comment and buttons upon clicking a comment to up/downvote.
Except from that Connect is stellar!
Unfortunately neither comment navigation nor marking post read on image view seem to work for me. I've tried turning them off and on a few times and I've restarted the app.
After a quick test, it looks like viewing an image marks the post as read, but the post doesn't visually update until you refresh. It would be nice if the post got visually updated without having to do a full refresh.
Seeing an issue that just started this morning, Connect launches to the splash screen but hangs. Neither force quitting the app nor rebooting the phone helps. App was working great yesterday.
My instance is fmhy, its web interface seems to be up and running normally. Suggestions? Thanks!
Is that on the 1.0.89 beta? I'll take a look!
No, I am not on the beta, it's v88
It's very odd, it's been rock solid up till this morning. I think I got an android update last night that might coincide with the issue - android 13 July 5 update.
Nice! The only thing holding me is the janky scrolling really hope that could be fixed.
Still crashing on occasion for me as well. However it is vastly improved.
Oh hey you added in the comment stuff! It's great for an initial release, though it definitely does need some refinement to be easily useable.
Currently on Beta 89. Liking the restyle on posts. But I think the targets on the upvote / downvote buttons need to be about 200% bigger. Spent way too much time trying (and failing) to upvote a post this morning.
Will be in the next beta release! Hopefully later today.
Much better. Though I'd even say the target could be bigger yet.
About one-third of the time, I still miss, which just opens the post.
I've been loving the app so far. I really appreciate the horizontal swiping feature. just wish swiping to the left doesn't exit me out of the post.
Just disable "Enable swipe navigation"
Thanks for your amazing work 🙏
I absolutely love the bottom bar
One of the best lemmy apps currently
wonderful, thank you! works like a charm 😊
Thanks!! Love the bottom bar.
The new comment bar is great! Thank you 😊
