This reminds me more of the UI polish of Apollo so far loving it. Absolutely beautiful

Definitely more polished. The post editor alone is really nice with its rich text controls.

I’m gonna keep both just to check in and help development. My thought more apps means people have choice and that makes all the apps better…. But yeah this just looks so nice.

[–] Veedem 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah same here. I like Memmy a lot, it just hasn’t been great lately so I’m waiting for it to get better.

Would be nice if the post editor didn’t become useless if your comment’s long enough though. A scroll function is desperately needed here.

I didn’t realise that was still an issue, sorry! I’ll add it to the list to tidy up this weekend 😊

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

Thanks for the quick response! Also, you should probably know that the post composition bar has way too much space in between the ‘Link’ and ‘Image’ options on the regular Pro model.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That space was initially intentional but it looks kinda aha k now that the Spoiler feature is there so I’ll probably remove it.

I’m on a regular sized phone too and it pushes off the screen so it’s kinda annoying.

I’m glad you agree! By the way, since I have your attention…I wanted to ask if Apollo’s ‘context preview’ thing is on the cards (ie Haptic Touch to get a glance at the parent comment). While the menu is useful, of course, that feature was a huge boon.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh I didn’t know this was a thing if I’m honest! Did it preview the comment before or the top of the thread?

[–] Dark_Blade 2 points 1 year ago

The comment before, since it was basically a context checker. So for example, if there’s a long conversation in between two posters and someone interjected in between their posts, you could quickly check to see which comment was being replied to.

It’s a super useful feature for long comment threads. They’re not all that common on Lemmy, but we’re all hoping there’ll be enough activity to justify such a feature.

It’s one of the features I miss most from Apollo! It would preview the comment that’s a direct parent to the selected one. Great for the reading and comprehension experience across many use cases.

Thanks so much! 😊

The one thing I just saw that I wish was different:sphynx cat toe beans

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ll put a request in with the artist but I can’t make any promises 😎

We have two sphynxes and would very much like a little hairless paw! I will post cute photos in the community as payment if it happens
