We're motoring on ahead towards our 1.0.2 RC. It's a little ways off yet, but we've just got so many new changes that we couldn't help but share them with you.
What's new:
- The Widget Wizard: fully customize your post and comment interaction widgets with a new drag-and-drop interface! Check it out in Settings -> Appearance -> Posts or Comments -> Customize Widgets
- Jump button: we've added a handy little button to jump to the next top-level comment. You can disable it in Settings -> Comments.
- Instant post feedback: we've done some major backend work on how we handle posts to make the app more stable and set up new features down the line. You'll notice that posts now apply your interactions immediately, rather than waiting for network round trip. You might also notice some new bugs, which we would love to hear about.
- Onboarding: new users now get a proper onboarding flow. You can check it out by removing all your accounts from Mlem.
- Collapse post content: in the detailed post view, you can tap the title or body of a post to collapse it and get right to the comments
- Collapse comments: swipe way to the left to reveal a new swipe action: collapse comment
- Haptic levels: you can now disable some or all of the haptic feedback in the app in Settings -> General -> Haptic Level
- Opaque tab bars: in case you think material design is so 2014 and yearn for strong, assertive views, you can now make the tab bars fully opaque in Settings -> Accessibility -> Translucent Insets.
Quality of life updates:
- Link posts now have an indicator on their thumbnail in Compact and Headline mode
- Fixed a problem where the account switcher would be open when re-opening the app
- Inbox now persists unread status
- Search no longer has auto-correct or auto-capitalization
- Large images now display as shrunk. You can make them display in their full, glorious height in Settings -> Appearance -> Posts -> Limit Image Height In Feed.
- You can now block communities directly from posts
- Various actions have been flagged as destructive
- Fixed some issues with images embedded in links displaying poorly
- Fixed nav bar disappearing on device rotation
- Haptic feedback no longer causes an animation hitch on first play
Known issues:
- Swipe voting in inbox has an animation hitch
- Comments don't apply interactions instantly
- It's hard to get image posts to collapse
- Putting too many widgets and too much info in the bar causes view clipping
- Onboarding flow is kinda rough. If you've got thoughts on how to make it smoother, please share!
Cheers, The Mlem Group
Yea I agree, and that’s the way it was implemented in Apollo and in most lemmy apps.
