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.

Jerboa UI adjustments (streamable.com)

I have been playing around with the Jerboa UI to make it a bit more usable for my style.

Since I would call some of these UI adjustments significant to the original design and I have used a couple different libraries I don't think I should create a pull request for them but I might need to see.

  • Changed the theme to an amoled dark style.
  • Fixed the weird font scalings for comments.
    The comment (markdown) text fields were set to scale to x1.3. I am sure this was probably to fix something somewhere but it made the comments way to big for me and restoring it caused no ill effects from what I can tell on my phone.
  • Fixed the flash bang transitions. Optimized for the dark theme.
  • Activity transitions changed for proof of concept but work pretty well so far for my style.
  • Comment cards made significantly more compact.
  • Comment toolbar (voting options) are now hidden as they take too much space for my liking. Clicking the comment shows/hides the toolbar.
  • Collapsing comment chains now collapses smaller with a better indication of being collapsed.

I am sure there are other items I adjusted as well and there is always more to do, although I figured I would put this out there and see what the feedback is like.

I can see these items in the code however how do you read them? (I know they are for visually impaired but never needed to use them before)

These may also be put on the back burner as they most likely need to be multilingual.
