Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Login hard to find with light theme (self.jerboa)

It took me a while to see the white on light grey label saying Anonymous.

Also, for new users it may not be obvious that that's where you need to press to log in and they might just wander away before finding it.

Suggestions:

  • obviously fix the label colour to follow the theme
  • allow the account list to open inline in the settings window if it is short.
  • open it automatically, exposing the "Add Account" button, when it is empty.
  • make the account button in the bottom right corner go to an account select-or-create screen when you are not logged in.

Yeah I fully reinstalled the app thinking it wasn't working before I finally noticed that button!

That last bullet is the critical one... I clicked the bottom right account button a dozen times hoping it would magically decide to let me log in since it knew I wasn't logged in before I found the drop-down.

Made for an exceptionally frustrating start to the app.

I was able to fix this very easily in my fork for whatever reason that label was hardcoded to be white
