Wow, looks good!

Wish list:

• Swipe right anywhere on the screen to go back. Not just from the left screen border. (This is what made Apollo spectacular)
• Change font size: being able to have HUGE fonts would be nice, not just kind of large (as like now, only tiny).
• Tap comment to collapse it and all below.

Thank you.

Changes July 27th

build 2023.07.27.16.16

• Added the ability to select a community from the post composer.
• Added a FAB to the home screen to create a post.
• Added the ability to mark a post as NSFW.
• Added loading indicator when creating a post or comment.
• Improved the quality of images uploaded. May need to reassess if servers deem them too large.
• Wrapped the Markdown accessories in a scrollview for smaller devices and future buttons.
• Shrunk the link preview if there’s no image found.
• Removed the preview from the comment composer (it may come back, I’m still deciding if I like it or not).
• Turned the fullscreen swipe off by default. I don’t like that it was changing the iOS animations due to the pan gesture handler, but the option still remains.

Any feedback on the post composer is welcomed

Minor feedback on theme:

Is there a way to use accent of the main color theme to color the upvote and reply swipes

Changelog: July 30th

Build 2023.07.30.22.45

Smaller update than anticipated this weekend because it was pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and I was out celebrating with friends ❤️

This one is mainly bug fixes but there is a big change to how I'm handling multiple accounts. States are now persisted when accounts are changed. This means if you have a certain post open, switch accounts to browse on another instance, and then switch back — it will still be right where you left it.

• Added state persistence between account switches.
• Added press and hold on the account tab to open the account switcher.
• Removed background on the card and post footer.
• Removed background from featured posts on the single post view.
• Featured post backgrounds are now based on the accent colour.
• Made the entire card view tappable, not just the title.
• Tidied up the card and single post views.
• Fixed issues with bookmarking.
• Fixed issues with sharing links.
• Fixed issues with overlapping content in the post composer.
• Changed search on the communities selector in the composer.
• Fixed a visual glitch between the composer and community selector.
• Keyboard can now be dismissed in the composer community selection screen.
• Fixed an issue with scroll to top offsets.
• Added a link to posts on the Inbox and profile comments views. Still a WIP.
• Content of comments is now hidden if removed by a moderator or deleted by author.
• Added a link to the community on the Inbox and user profile comments.
• Markdown editor is now reset when creating a post or comment.

A new build (2023.7.19.22.28) is rolling out to TestFlight now.

Changelog

• Posts, Communities, and Users no longer hide the tab bar.
• Added the ability to comment on posts. Replying to comments is coming soon.
• Fixed post context menu not working.
• Fixed toasts appearing in the wrong place on non-translucent themes.
• Fixed scrolling to top offsetting incorrectly in non-translucent themes.

Comments now work in the profile! Nice.

If I may make a feature request: I think it would be nice to be able to sort comments inside threads.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is a “parse flair”? I can’t quite figure it out from turning the setting on and off.

Posting comments will be coming in the next build. This comment was posted from Bean 😁

I noticed another visual issue with the latest version. This time with the comments. Seems part of the comment can get cut off. See image.

Overall, I’m loving the app more and more with each update. At this point, I can use it to lurk without any real issues. I only need to switch to post or to comment with a photo. There are a few “wishlist” features that I’d love to see. But you’re moving real fast!

Changes: July 24th

Build: 2023.07.24.23.14

• Added the Inbox.
• Added posts, communities, users, and URL search.
• Added option to hide tab bar titles.
• Added an option to hide the inbox notification badge.
• Added an option to hide the footer/actions on comments.
• Moved bookmarks to the account screen.
• Increased the size of the comment indicators.
• Refresh the profile screen whenever it’s viewed.
• Removed the large header from communities and inbox for consistency.
• Fixed missing item separators on the profile view.
• Fixed issue where tapping the search tab on the search screen crashed the app.

Note: *The inbox view will be improved tomorrow. It's currently not possible to tap through from there to posts/comments. I'll be fixing this and improving the view with information about what post is being replied to, as well as adding an empty state.

In the meantime, please let me know if you encounter any issues with the Inbox.*

Just testing, I was told to mention @[email protected]

I’m on the latest version of iOS 16, using an iPhone 12 Mini. Just a couple things I’ve noticed in the latest build:

• I can upvote and downvote comments now, but there is a weird delay. I get the haptic feedback, but the vote does not appear until I start scrolling away.

• When clicking on the text of a post in standard view, nothing happens. Might be nice to have that open up the post in the same way as if you clicked the title.

• When I upvote/downvote a post with a link, and it makes it as “read.” Something odd happens. All of the preview text for the link disappears.

Those are the only new bugs I’ve noticed so far. Keep up the great work!

How do I up/downvote comments?

Yes the keyboard appears now. Thank you :)

Hi there! Seems like the app theme doesn’t switch automatically when device theme switches between light/dark mode (when settings for theme is set to device theme).

There's a bug that downvotes/upvotes of my own posts are not displayed correctly, even after force restarting the app/ reloading that post

Today's Changes — July 22nd

Build 2023.07.22.00.35

• Added a new image gallery component for multiple images posted in the body of a post or comment.
• Added a new "iOS default" blue option
• Added an option to hide the thumbnail on text only posts.
• Added a new view menu.
• Added an option to hide read posts.
• Improved Markdown styles.
• Improved performance on comment view.
• Fixed issues with Card View.
• Changed the threshold for the amount of swiping required to dismiss images.
• Fixed links not working in post content
• Hid the page control on the image viewer when there’s only one image
• Added additional link parsing for communities and usernames.
• Fixed an issue where logging into an instance with https:// or http:// would crash the app.
• Fixed an issue with link metadata being wiped when refreshing or upvoting.

More improvements to commenting and performance will be coming over the weekend.

Not sure if you are receiving the crash reports as I don’t see the usual Apple’s crash prompt but scrolling up and down in this mega thread a few time would crash the app.

Also, scrolling fast would show blank spots as well.

This is really promising! Obviously missing some major features, but damn is it sexy. When we can comment and vote on comments, this might already be good enough to be my main Lemmy browser app. Great start!
