Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Hi, While Jerboa is improving with quite a pace, I've a few suggestions

  • Grey out title of visited thread immediately.
    • Right now, unless one refreshes, title is displayed normally, making it difficult to distinguish between visited and non-visited posts
  • Open links within the app
    • Right now all the links, videos, etc. are opened outside of the app which takes the focus away. It's not ideal
  • Multi functional FAB button
    • Right now FAB button only adds new post, but it can be used to refresh the feed, remove the read posts, etc.
  • Swipe right go hide the current post and go back to feed

Another suggestion, I would love redditsync style "peeking" while in list mode. Holding down on the thumbnail temporarily opened the image, played the gif, or zoomed in on the article's thumbnail. It allowed for quick browsing without opening the thread or accidentally getting re-routed to an external site. It's probably the thing I miss most about Sync at the moment. Otherwise I'm loving this app overall so far.
