Already the next one? Do you guys even sleep?

Nice work!

I don't think they have time to sleep. Incredible development speed.

Thank you!

I've been using liftoff together with wefwef, alternating them for one reason only: the font size of the comments.

My eyesight is not the best. That makes reading smaller text hard. Still, I used liftoff for how practical it is. If tired, I would open Wefwef.

But with this update you made me smile with joy! Wow, now I can easily read the comments. You're the best. Thanks a ton.

Sorry it took so long! Let me know if you have any issues!

[–] veroxii 3 points 1 year ago

This was me as well. Thanks devs for adding this. I'm now 100% Liftoff!

Liftoff is IMHO the best app yet for Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update, really like being able increase comment font size, & the extra customizations. Navigating around is a breeze & really intuitive, super app..👍🏼

I don't know if this is the right place to request features, but I'll do it anyway.

It'd be awesome if we could have a way to read the entire text in a post on the main page itself. Right now, we need to open the post itself to read the full content. If there was a button that said read more, or even an option in the settings to always show full text, it'd be a blessing.

Thanks for all your work on the app. It truly has been a joy to use!

[–] MusketeerX 3 points 1 year ago

Woohoo, change comment/body text size!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I absolutely love the new icon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for adding the ability to change the body and comment font size! This has been invaluable.

[–] Saneless 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome. The #1 reason I drop an app when I used them for reddit was because font sizing was not as granular as it needed to be. Something always looked off

I actually was fine with the look prior to this, but I'm looking forward to tweaking it further.

The progression of this app is just insane. Thank you again for all the hard work, it's just such a delight to use.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg 1 points 1 year ago

I'm having trouble seeing replys to comments.

any idea how to fix it?

[–] V4uban 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much everyone!

[–] Call_Me_Maple 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the updates! Using Liftoff is getting easier by the day. 😁

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

Love the new comment settings and that we can change the different font sizes.

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

You're great thanks for the update. Am I missing something or it is currently impossible to change the background color of the post cards? I would like a darker grey.

[–] zachatrocity 3 points 1 year ago

This is currently not possible. We'll see about supporting it. You can go darker with AMOLED, but I know some users want an in between.

More theming capability will come eventually but likely after official iOS/Android release

When did the in-app browser switch to Chrome Custom Tabs? No all my Lemmy activity shows up on my Chrome History. Can we get an option to make it an incognito tab?
