Im using Jerboa, and one of the functionalities that RiF had that I would love they implement is that everytime you clicked a link a pop-up come up with the address of the link and options to copy, open in default app, share to app or cancel. Saved me a lot of redirects that I didn't wanted.

Thanks, this is great!

Awesome software, thanks a lot

I avoided so many Rick rolls because of that feature

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Part of that, the "do you want to continue to this url?" part, is enabled by default in Connect. Ever since switching from Jerboa I've only been rickrolled when I wanted to! 😁

Click and hold on the link and you'll get those options on Jebra if it's in a comment (unfortunately doesn't seem to work on post links usually)

Thanks, It actually works. Already installed the other app reccomended here, but is cool to know in case I get tired of that other app.

I don't like pop ups, I want as few clicks/taps as possible. If I tap the text it should take me to the comments, if I tap the picture it should take me to the picture/link, and then from either one I should be able to go directly to the other without pressing back first.

The functionality you describe should be found under a long press, imo.

I prefer the pop-up, but looks like jerboa devs share your opinion and its actually work on long press.

Summit has that functionality.

Yeah hey big thanks to whoever decided expanding images should be marked by a tiny dark greyscale icon in the upper-right corner and links should instead be marked by that too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Personally I hate how similar the image and link icons are on the website. They're both squares with diagonal lines through them. I've lost count of the amount of times I accidentally clicked a link instead of expanding an image.

Seriously though, why does the UI suck so much? We’ve seen Reddit, we know how a useful UI should work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because it's, in contrast to Reddits UI, simple, fast and without bloat.

It’s expert friendly - but turns others away. https://vger.app/ helps a bit

These hexbear bots reposting hundreds of reddit posts is disturbing.
