Locked as I've just pushed a new release.

[–] ljdawson 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Couple of quick visual fixes from last nights release along with a new Ultra feature to automatically save and synchronize your favorites.

I mainly added this as I was sick of manually adding my favorites during testing! Hope someone else finds it useful too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I will find that useful, thank you.

Awesome job adding customization for the upvote/downvote colors!

I noticed that the upvote/downvote swipe gestures aren't covered by it, though. Upvotes still have an orange background and downvotes still have a blue one, and changes to the vote colors in the theme don't update them.

Edit: 106 fixed this for the post swipes, but the comment swipes are still the original colors.

Was about to post this, here's a screenshot

[–] FilthyHookerSpit 11 points 8 months ago

Same here. The update fixes swiping posts for updated vote colors but does not for swiping comments.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's what 106 fixes. It just may not have rolled out to you yet.

[–] pivot_root 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Oops. Damn Play Store... I thought I was on 106, but I may have got the update before that.

Edit: Just updated. It fixed the colors for the post swipe gestures, but comments are still orange/blue.

[–] ljdawson 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Just fixed this for the next release. Turns out there was a lot of orange in the app...

[–] Kevnyon 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm having the opposite going on, post upvote swipe is still blue but comment is now orange like I set it.

[–] pivot_root 5 points 8 months ago

Comment swipe gestures*

I could have been a bit more clear about that 😅

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

While we have you. I've noticed some button text that that needs fixing:

When restoring a deleted post you need to hit "delete" when the menu pops up.

And when updating a community's sorting I think the left cancel should be "reset"?

I remember that being a problem when I had to set my Lemmy profile to Scaled before you added it. I already had my everything feed sort overridden so I had to figure out how to reset it.

[–] ljdawson 4 points 8 months ago

Fixed and fixed!

Found a bug. Setting upvote/downvote color triggers the Google password manager. Pixel 5a.

[–] Cooldude_15 5 points 8 months ago

Just to make sure you're aware, as far as we know every single pixel 5a produced is defective and can die randomly at any point. Make sure you are constantly taking backups of anything important on your phone and make sure you have a backup phone of some sort just in case.

[–] ljdawson 3 points 8 months ago

Hmm can't reproduce this...

[–] NewPerspective 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The android store should get the change log as well

[–] ljdawson 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think once we're out of betas for sure.

[–] cory_lowry 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you have a roadmap of features you want to add or changes you want to make before the app is no longer in "beta"?

[–] ljdawson 13 points 8 months ago

Not a public facing one but watch this space.

[–] baru 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Swiping to upvote/downvote comments uses the wrong/old colours. Edit: was already mentioned

[–] gofsckyourself 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Will you be adding a button to view mod logs?

Can you make this default to the username if a display name is not set?

[–] ljdawson 4 points 8 months ago

I've been working on modlogs for a while, hope to be launching that soon.

Also fixed the username issue. Missed that being a bottom nav user!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Now that some things' colors are prettied up, can you check on the way the inbox crashes from the left drawer? 😁

I don't actually like using the Bottom Nav bar, but it's the only way to change pages in the inbox without it crashing Sync AND the only place that shows if I have a reply. (The badge for unread messages)

Thanks! (I'm sure it's probably not at the top of your list, but the app reliably crashes so it seemed worth mentioning)

[–] ljdawson 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Can you post the steps to reproduce?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely
