First, features...

Swipe to hide!

This is a huge feature that has a lot of effort put into making it work flawlessly, even with hundreds of thousands of hidden items. So swipe away! All data is persisted locally per account. In the future, we'll add hide on scroll, and it should work really well with our performant storage implementation. Shoutout to burakcan for all your hard work on this :)

Comment dialogs now ask for confirmation before nuking your data

I can't tell you how much I hate software that loses your progress. When the new comment dialog was implemented, I though there would be about 5 people using wefwef, but now there are tons of you!

Care was taken to ensure you can continue to swipe away the comment dialog if no new content has been entered - for example, if you accidentally swipe to reply.

Care was also taken to confirm before closing a tab or navigating on desktop devices! So please try it out and let me know what you think!

Like browsing NSFW on iOS? This release is for you

Blurred items should be a LOT more snappy, now that blurring is being performed by the GPU.

MORE SPEED

More performance improvements thanks to a code refactor on how we present commonly used dialogs :)

Double tap search shortcut!

No longer reach all the way up to that search bar. 😎

ARM builds

I love seeing all the self-hosting! Now you can easily self-host wefwef on even more devices!

Special thanks to all contributors!

Crazybus, burakcan and aidankinzett! Thank you! 💙

Dude, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate wefwef and your constant improvements to it. This is great.

This dev is my hero. And all the contributors too of course.

How do you un-hide posts? I'm still getting used to the swiping and already accidentally hid a post that I wanted to read.

It looks nice, thanks!

Crushin’ it, fam.

Everything does feel smoother.

[–] Animrast 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! Any chance we can also get a “swipe to save” feature in a future update?

[–] aeharding 10 points 1 year ago

Configurable gestures is coming!

[–] Prasaedonium 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amazing work, really pleased with the app

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am surprised by the speed of updates really like pwa concept won't be possible in normal app

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

I just gasped aloud! Thank you!

Enjoy hiding your posts people :)

Can we have an option to choose the language while commenting?

I was getting multiple error while replying for a comment, asking me to choose a language in lemmy profile settings (which didn't work) and the only way I could reply to that comment was choosing a language in the website while commenting.

Idk whether this might help you, but I tried using markdown on that comment.

[–] aeharding 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there! I believe this is a lemmy bug. If you want a bit and retry posting your comment, it should work. Sorry about that!

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

Thanks for clarifying!

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

I still can't log in, keyboard won't stay open when I try to put in my instance url

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you please add the ability to click to collapse comments? I'm personally not a fan of swipe gestures.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seconded. As the platform grows it will become more and more important to collapse long comment chains that head off into tangents.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird. I'm able to tap to collapse comments.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Tap to collapse comments also working/still working here on iOS.

Can someone explain why you'd want to hide a post? Is it to mark it as "read" or because you find it offensive or what?

[–] Tommy_the_Gun 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, both of those. Apollo would hide posts on scroll, so you wouldn’t keep seeing the same things you already read.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't like it. Please make it an option to turn off.

[–] aeharding 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good news: in the future there will be configurable swipe gestures!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot 🙏
