Hi everybody, I'm a UI/UX designer and I wanna contribute to the community here with my expertise. Here is a quick prototype for a Android Lemmy app with Material You Design, it's a simple and customizable app. With this app, I also want to improve the experience when exploring different servers.

Obviously, this is just a concept, so if any developer interest, I'm very willing to collaborate with 🫡 . Vice versa, if anyone stucks with designing his/her own Lemmy client, just reach out to me and I will give you a hand.

Here is a quick demo of some basic features: https://vimeo.com/843481714?share=copy

And here is the figma file if you wanna take a look: https://www.figma.com/file/ZBR30l0ZcKuyKMPjeDmvdF/Lemmy-Android-app?type=design&node-id=53526-31054&mode=dev

Personally prefer to read the title before the image. It's one of the reasons I don't use the Connect app

The connect app now has that as a setting, if that makes a difference for you.

Cool. Thanks

Noted. I was also considering where should I put the title as well. This is just a quick prototype to find out whether any dev is interested in collaboration, so just take it with a grain of salt 😉

top would be preferable.

often the title is needed in order to understand the picture - or the picture is the "punchline" to a joke set up by the text.

I'm using Connect and your can meme the title be before the image in the settings, that's what I did

[–] pathief 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks, must be a recent update. I'll check it out!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I've mostly committed to Connect, and can confirm there's an option near the bottom to select where to put the title in relation to the picture.

a bit further down in the settngs

This is something that has been disturbing me with Thunder app, Connect in their latest versions added a switch for this!

Me too. That's what keeps me on jerboa for now.

I switched to Liftoff. I was on Jerboa for the last few weeks as I figured things out, but liftoff is much smoother and has yet to give me an error code
