Hi all. With all the feedback yesterday I wanted to make a release sooner rather than later to address some of the feedback I've received in order to make Connect even better! Some features I had hoped to get in (Markdown editor, image uploads) but will need some more time. Those will come in an upcoming release. I've also uploaded the APK to Apkmirror but it hasn't yet been reviewed, I'll post a link once that's ready.

Features:

  • Feature: added setting for text sizes
  • Feature: added setting for default comment sorting
  • Feature: added the Inbox (thanks @[email protected])
  • Feature: Added open in web button at the community level
  • Feature: added open in web action item for profiles and post views
  • Feature: added unread comment counts to post cards
  • Feature: markdown images now expand on click
  • Feature: added a refresh button to the community pages when there's a server issue
  • Feature: fullwidth view now scales images to fit instead of displaying cropped

Fixes:

  • Bugfix: lemmy.ml posts should now work (they were on a different API version)
  • Bugfix: The profile link now works correctly if there are multiple accounts with your same username
  • Bugfix: Fixed the list view text being at 80% width
  • Bugfix: subscription list is no longer limited to 10 items
  • Bugfix resolved an issue where sometimes comments would be duplicated

Misc improvements

  • Misc: made comments and sidebar lists more compact

What is upcoming in the next release:

  • Markdown editor
  • Image uploads
  • Download button when viewing images
  • Edit button for your comments/posts
  • Block functionality for specific users/communities

Thank you for all your feedback and support! -kuroneko

Update after update…You’re so fast! Thank you!

New to Connect. Is there a GitHub repo where folks can submit issues and PR's?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I don't have a Github setup yet but if you have any issues just ping me here!

Looks like I'm not able to add multiple accounts. If I add Lemmy.ml first, I'm not able to add Beehaw. And vice versa, as I signed out and tested both ways. I have the same username on both.

If there's a better way/place to leave feedback like this, apologies and please let me know!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take a look at that and include it in the next release.

Hi, this is now possible on the latest release (1.0.31). Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Great job with your development!

THX so much for the fast update, maybe it could be a good idea to add the download function to media posts.

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

Comment and post edit function would be good too and the ability to mark posts as NSFW

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

Another good function could be zooming on media pictures with double tap.

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

Also delete function for comments and posts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Noticed another bug, it doesn't tell you if someone reply to a comment, it says 0 replies and if someone reply doesn't notify you.

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

Jump to next comment button would be good too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hi, thank you for your feedback! I've implemented some of those features now on the latest (1.0.31). Download option on media, comment and post edit functions, delete comment function, reply notifications (in the future a actual notification would be good, for now it just changes the inbox icon colour).

Thank you! Your app looks great so far. It's very promising. In particular, I find the gesture control very good, but it still needs a little improvement.

I've gotten used to control Reddit with one hand with my old app. Connect makes this a lot easier and is on a good way.

In dark mode it's sometimes hard to distinguish where a post ends, maybe you could add a little line. Or something similar...

Also I changed card type to fullwidth, but images are still not shown in full width:
