Hi, Connect 1.0.59 brings a new profile page, improvements to how routes are handled within the app, and a host of new settings. I hope you like it!

I'm still thinking about what a 'new to Lemmy' onboarding might look like. Also I know some people reported issues with the markdown editor yesterday, if this version still have issues please add a comment and I'll try and sort them out today!

What's new

  • Community name and user name are now direct links, with a setting to disable it.

  • Added a quick link to the official community within the app

  • Added confirmation on exit app

  • Added swiping on the left edge of home will open the drawer.

  • The drawer navigation actions should be more responsive now

  • Added an option to adjust how nested comments look. Also I added a couple presets within Settings to change it. I hope you like the presets I've chosen.

  • Added some improvements to the profile page. Tabs for overall/posts/comments and a page header

  • Added some haptic feedback for swipe actions

Bugfixes

  • Fixed comment cards in the reply view are no longer clickable
  • Fixed a three dot menu being invisible (web)
  • Fixed some routing issues when creating a comment or editting a comment. Instead of the previous state being in history it should now show only the state after the change.

Also please let me know what you think of the colour palettes I've chosen for the comment lines. If you're thinking of one that would be cool I'm happy to add it in :)

Thanks for the great app.

A feature I would like is an option to open in external browser rather than only webview. If I want to share a link on at the moment it's quite difficult

I like it so far but I can't figure out how to collapse comment chains. Otherwise much better than gerboa for me.

Those are some nice changes!

The previous history being shown after editing a comment was particularly annoying. Glad you fixed that.

Oh and since it seems like you're working on the user experience side of things, I made a post here with some suggestions for you to consider regarding the app!

Deleted comments still appear, just with a "deleted" indicator next to them. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, then maybe there could at least be an option to not display the deleted comments?

Great work, thank you so much!

Any chance you could support custom tabs? Using the open for anything that currently doesn't work leaves me in webview, which neither has my logins nor tge features I need from my browser.

There's an option to force opening links in browser if that's what you're looking for.

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

Not really, that opens as a full link, not a custom tab. Custom tabs are basically like webview but open to other browsers that don't track you. They also include addons if your browser has any.
Further that option makes everything open externally, even images and links. I would like to only see the things replaced that currently open in system webview, like posts with (most types of) links, or the "open" button in various menus.
I can't read websites well without certain addons for example, so I am forced to tap the "open external" of the webview every time.

The keyword is "android custom tabs" or "chrome custom tabs" I think.

Feature request, can we have a option to swipe post (horizontal scroll) instead of vertical scrolling only.
