Wow, the app is fairly young and already feels a billion times better than the reddit app. It made the transition to Lemmy a lot more pleasant than I had expected. Thanks!

Was afraid development might stop due to majority of users shifting to Sync when it was first released (I'm guilty too).
But I have since moved back to using Connect and I am glad to still see constant updates. Thanks for the good work!
I've moved back to connect. You have to pay for premium on sync in order to get push notifications. Also I think connect looks better but that's subjective.
I switch between them. Connect on phones, always, and on one specific tablet that's set up for guests to use. We call it the toilet tablet lol.
On my tablets, I usually go with sync for the two column view with cards.
But connect has better theming options, particularly with the new color picker that lets you set your own background colors. That's been my biggest complaint about sync for a while, that I can't get a good contrast between cards and background. Makes it hard on my old eyes.
I also was pretty hyped for Sync and had the thought that I'll leave Connect behind when it comes out but...
honestly, Connect is the best client so far. By a lot, and I have a feeling it will stay the best for a long time, especially if kuro is this active with the development. I mean, come on, the dude pushes hotfixes in hours(!) for somewhat critical bugs that get reported here. It's amazing and kinda inspiring :D
Thanks for the continued work, my preferred app for Lemmy
Thanks man! Great app! I really appreciate all the effort you put into it!
Awesome as usual.
I don't think we need the keep/discard prompt when exiting a comment any more, now that we have automatic drafts. In fact it's misleading, because "discard" still keeps the draft.
Hi, that's a good point! I'll remove the prompt in an upcoming release.
Thanks for the update......just wondering why the theme colour chooser was changed, when it was already fully featured anyway...🤷🏻♂️
Hi, the new colour picker has a bit more control when choosing a colour and also let's you enter in hex codes to get the precise colour you're looking for.
I have to admit it was easier before, & from what I can see one person posted it as a request, with no other comments other than your own...unless this has been a previous request?... I'm sure I'll get used to it.. Cheers for replying 👍🏼
I think that's the best app with the ugliest icon... Sorry but I really don't like the new one. Old one was cool.
It's like a 90's theme.
gladly updated. thank you man!
Hey I've been having issues with the app lagging and then crashing all of my apps after less than 5 minutes of scrolling.
This is on version 141? Just to narrow down the issue does turning off 'mark read on scroll', 'swipe gestures', or changing to a list view have any effect? Just saying those 3 as they have the largest impact on memory.
Hey I did some testing.
Yes in 141. It happened with swipe gestures on and off (although a bit slower with gestures off), and I didn't have "Mark read on scroll" turned on at all.
I hope this helps.
Edit: I missed the list view note. I've been using card view. I'll check that next.
Changing list view seemed to help.
Ok thank you, I'm not sure if you're on the beta but I pushed v142 last night which might help for non-list views.
Thanks I'll try it out
I'm noticing improved speed in images loading full-res. This is appreciated!
Thank you for the update!
Added setting to change comment long press action
Any chance for a "do nothing" option there? I only ever do it by accident and not being able to turn it off is my only big issue with the app.
Fixed draft comments loading the wrong comment while editing when you have multiple comments
Incredible! My only rough edge so far.
Looks like the messages at the bottom (Refreshed, Post hidden, Posted comment, Switched to _____ user) stay there forever until I down-swipe them. Maybe have them disappear after 10 seconds and/or when I enter a thread?
