Thank you! I look at your roadmaps as an inspirational and motivational texts. I really admire what your Lemmy client looks like, its feature richness and polish... The idea of supporting full offline mode is ambitious and I don't think any (even among paid options) Android Lemmy app supports it, so I'm really awe-struck. Keep going on like this and kudos for the excellent work!

I am really enjoying what you have made so far!
One quick suggestion, you should add a link in the app to where we can tip/donate/pay you besides Patreon.
I know that in most apps I am more likely to give money if there is a single quick option rather than a subscription.
Oh actually I remember now why I didn't add Kofi. Google is pretty picky about adding different payments methods that aren't google play into the app (because they don't get to take a cut of your income). I've gotten into trouble with this in the past so to avoid it I just don't explicitly link payment/donation methods in the app. That's why there is a "patreons list" screen instead of a page about how to donation. If you are interested in donating on kofi you can find the link on the community description of this community.
Very cool, thanks for the info!
I have kofi but I think I made it after adding patreon to the app. I'll add it for the next update. Thanks!
Thanks. Btw is it me or is there no option to set a default feed? It always defaults to All for me when I select Subscribed.
And also, where's the source?
To set a homepage, go to any community or feed you want to be the homepage. Then tap the three dots button (bottom right). Select set as homepage.
The app is close sourced so the source is not available.
There's a github repo for it, so I suppose the source will be available someday?
The github repo is only for hosting the APK. Every time I do a release push, a script is run to build and generate a signed APK. That APK is then pushed from the private repo to the public one.
This is done because some users prefer to get the app from something that's not Google play.
I see. Do you plan on releasing the source?
No.
aight. thanks for the info.
Can I suggest two options?
-
Automatically trigger the keyboard when making a comment (I swear I'm not that lazy, but many apps do this, so I am always tricked waiting for it to automatically pop up without any interaction on my end lol).
-
Modify the FAB to your liking, for example, the default option hides read post, holding it up brings up more options or a second action etc.
Greetings!
I'll add (1) for the next release. (2) sounds a lot more involved so it will be on the roadmap. Honestly though (2) is a bit of a departure from my original design intentions of the app. I'll need to think about adding this to the app while still making it intuitive.
That's excellent news boss 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your work
