Lemmy Phantom is now Quiblr! Additionally, users can now login, post, comment, and vote on lemmy using a sleek and speedy UI!

I add new functionality all the time so go check it out and let me know what you think!

I can add it to my home screen, but I’m unable to log in. The three lines that I need to tap are behind the battery and signal display at the top of the page. It works on Safari, but not as a PWA. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a8681c21-9f68-48da-8fe3-8a4e45c24107.jpeg

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll take a look and see if I can push a fix

[–] Nusm 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

[–] Aurelius 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Check now, style should adjust for PWA. Let me know if it's still an issue!

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

Yep, it seems that you added some black space at the top, and that got the job done.

One request - any chance you can increase and/or make a setting for comment text size? It’s much smaller than all the other text and hard to read for my old(er) eyes. I can use the zoom on Safari to increase the page size before saving it as a PWA, but that makes the text run off the right side of the page, requiring me to scroll back and forth to read comments.

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

I like that idea! Adjustable font size would be a great feature for user accessibility. I’ll take a look today!

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

Thank you!

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

Fixed the text overflow issue with large text on the Quiblr web app. Hope you enjoy!

[–] Nusm 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That works a lot better! Thanks for the great work!

EDIT: Not to be greedy, but any chance you can add one more text size and go one notch bigger (especially for comments, which have a smaller text size than the post titles)?

[–] Aurelius 1 points 1 year ago

Done!

And not greedy at all. This is the kind of feedback that's super helpful

[–] Nusm 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I’ll give it a go!

[–] Aurelius 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I added a Font Size feature in the settings. It may be a bit buggy because I built it pretty quickly, so let me know if anything looks funky!

Edit: I noticed that the poster's username sometimes runs over 🤦 I will need to fix it in a future build

[–] Aurelius 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also just added a refresh button on the top bar of Quiblr for pwa users which should make things smoother :)

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

The black added is shorter than the island so it doesn’t look clean up there.

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

I made it a bit longer. Let me know if that works

[–] LazaroFilm 2 points 1 year ago

Looks great!! Even works when there something in the Dynamic Island (like playing music!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks really good! I’ve been looking for a good UI on desktop

[–] Aurelius 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've given it a go on my PC now and have some feedback. Generally, it looks really nice, I enjoy the modern look.

My only real feedback is that it seems too big. The best way I can think to describe it is as follows; it looks like it was made to be touch friendly (which is great!) but then on a monitor it looks too large and uses the full width.

Personally, I'd set a max-width on larger displays to something like 80% (to allow more negative space on the sides, keeping the content centered) and have the cards scale down as well. I'm not sure what you're using for the front-end so I can't be super specific with the correct names of styles etc.

I hope that makes sense. I don't want to take away from the work you've done, it really is well designed! If you need me to explain something better or provide examples (whatever you need), I'd be more than happy to help where possible.

[–] Aurelius 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Made some adjustments to prevent content from getting too spread out on wide screens! Let me know what you think (hard to test because my screen is not very wide). Before and after below

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

That looks better to me!

[–] Aurelius 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Super helpful! I tested making the scale vary with larger screens but I think I can invest more time there.

I will test some approaches with adjusting the scale and follow up with you for your thoughts/feedback

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

More than happy to help! I’ve worked in a dev environment so I don’t mind getting a little more technical if you need/want

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

what UI library are you using? or is this custom?

[–] Aurelius 3 points 1 year ago

Custom. All from scratch

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

Great news!

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

Open source?

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

I really like this interface, but I can't find a way to save posts or comments on mobile

[–] Aurelius 2 points 1 year ago

Im working on saving posts right now. Currently in the final stages. Should be released soon

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

I pushed an update to add saved posts in Quiblr. I need to make slight changes but it should get the job done! Let me know what you think

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

Thanks, it works perfectly

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

No 2FA?

[–] Aurelius 2 points 1 year ago

This should be fixed now. 2FA on lemmy is buggy in general, so lmk how it works out

[–] Aurelius 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not yet. Just got basic auth features added (e.g. login, post, comment)

Is 2FA a blocker for you to login? I can make that a priority if needed

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

Yeah it is. Was it not incorporated in phantom? I thought it was.

[–] Aurelius 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, but I will take a look today!
