Hi, been reading feedback and implementing the ones that I think would be good to add. This release brings a favourites bar to the drawer, the ability to set a default page, More text size options, and an overhauled settings page.

Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!

Next things I want to tackle are improving the markdown editor and adding in user/community/instance block lists.

Finally thank you for your continued support! The feedback has been very helpful in improving Connect.

Changelog:

  • Added option for enabling notifications across all signed in accounts
  • Added Text overrides for comments and post titles
  • Added option for disabling swipe and markdown editor
  • Added favourites to sidebar. These are account specific and different accounts can have different favourites.
  • Added option to set default page
  • Added an option to hide the bottom bar on posts for smaller cards
  • Added animations when expanding a comment thread
  • Added option to reverse the comment interactions (tap and long press)
  • Added password reveal button on sign in
  • Added some spacing between posts to visually break them up
  • Removed domain name text on list views thumbnails
  • Added a search option scoped to the current community you are in
  • Added option for high refresh displays
  • Changed FAB icon in post details to a reply icon
  • Changed collapsing comments so the comment body also collapses
  • Fixed a bug with the comment body not showing when editting
  • Fixed a crash on foldable devices
  • Fixed a bug where your own comments would appear to have more points than they really had

Hi

Are you considering an open source version available on F-Droid in the future?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Yeah possibly if there is enough interest. I'd just want to clean up the codebase first since the current pace of development makes things a bit messy.

That would be absolutely amazing! I look forward to an open source version, regardless of whether it is listed on F-Droid or not.

Thank you for at least considering it. 👍

Open sourcing the codebase would most definitely increase the interest in the app, and as such also invite people to contribute to the project.

This is also probably one reason many will skip the app, because of not being open source.

Not saying it's a bad thing, but just a thought. I like the app, started my Lemmy journey with it, but wanted to go for an open source instead. Keep up the good work! Following the development of this!
