This update finally adds saved posts/comments functionality. This update also adds a lot of quality of life or general polish changes to the app.

As we are getting extremely close to a v1 release since the last of the core features are getting implemented, more and more small, quality changes will be added to the releases. These are changes that I've been meaning to do for a while but haven't done in the interest of time.

As always if anyone has any suggestions/feature requests/etc please let me know in the comments.

Changelog

  • Implement the saved posts/comments screen
  • Added option to save comments/posts everywhere
  • Added a setting for tap comment to collapse
  • Added about screen
  • Added swipe actions to the post within the post screen
  • Added a setting to adjust indentation of nested comments
  • Added long press an image thumbnail to open the full screen view.
  • Added long press actions to a bunch of places. It should make the behavior more consistent across the app. Usually long press = open the options/more menu.
  • Fixed a bug where swipe actions would be temporarily disabled when layout type is changed.
  • Fixed a bug where cards would always display the full image even if the setting was disabled.
  • Support cannonical community mentions.
  • Improve rendering performance of text.
  • Rearrange settings to make more sense.
  • Support cropping images when adding images to post/comments/etc
  • Fixed more crashes

Will this come to F-Droid eventually?

[–] idunnololz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I cannot release this app to fdroid because it is not open source. I do release the app as a APK to GitHub though here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy.

Apparently there are some apps that helps with pulling in releases from GitHub but I have no experience here.

OK. Will the app auto update or will I have to keep downloading the app?

Thank you. I will keep an eye on the project.

You will need to keep downloading the app but like I said before there are apparently some apps that will automatically download them for you. Let me see if I can find an app like that.

Good work! Loving Summit 😄

Hmm I seem to have broken hide posts with this release. Likely due to the consolidation of menu items. It still works but it used to instantly hide the item. Now you have to refresh. I'll fix this soon.

Great release as usual.

Something I've noticed about the hide posts feature is that after hiding it loads new posts but it doesn't refresh the view or autoscrolls to top so you have a lot of new posts on top of your view and if you don't scroll up you don't even notice.

Hmm never mind? Not sure why but I can no longer reproduce this. If anyone know how to reproduce this bug let me know.

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

We don't have community info panel 👋🏻

[–] idunnololz 1 points 1 year ago

It's on the roadmap

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot for the quick turnaround on the suggestions! Been using them all day and they are great.
