This release adds two highly requested features to the app: gesture actions & infinite scrolling.
Gesture actions allow you to perform actions on posts/comments by swiping to the left. Gesture actions is coupled with action hiding to create a even more compact layout, as gestures don’t require screen space. To enable gesture actions, check the settings screen > Gestures
Infinite scrolling is pretty much a thing in every app. I’ve finally added this support to the app and also turned it on by default. Testing infinite scrolling myself, I definitely found that I ended up spending more time in the app. This is great if I was a corporation and wanted to maximum profits. I’m still skeptical about this feature myself and will probably leave it off personally, but I’m sure the average user wants it. You can toggle this feature in the settings screen > Content.
Changes:
- Added setting to enable gesture actions
- Added setting to toggle inifinite scrolling. This is the new default.
- Support Android’s new themed icons feature
- Make the post title input field multiline
- Support comment links.
- Fixed popup menu using wrong colors
- Update appearance of text to be easier on the eyes
Known bugs:
These bugs will be fixed in the next update.
- Double tapping on a post will cause the post to appear but not fully. If you encounter this tap back to dismiss the post and tap it again.
- The post list screen will not remember if “hide read” is on if the user leaves the app and comes back after some time.
Here, I think you dropped this: 👑
This app keeps getting better and better!
Can I suggest having a tap to collapse feature for the comments (not pressing the arrow) and also full height for the images on the card view? I know the full post exists, but I don’t want to see all the text of them, only the complete image displayed without having to tap it.
Pretty small change so I can add this for the next update.
Thanks!
Oh for the tap to collapse, you can tap anywhere in the top of the comment to collapse. You actually dont need to tap the arrow.
But to uncollapse/expand it again it seems I do still have to press the arrow on 0.1.34
Huh you are right. That is a bug. I’ll fix it soon.
Sometimes it opens when I click on a post on the main page. However, a different post is coming from the content I clicked on.
I’m on 0.1.34 Server is lemm.ee
I found a bug where clicking on a person will cause the app to misbehave. Did you tap on a person before this bug started to occur? I didn’t mean to release the person screen this update but I had to do an quick release to fix a bunch of bugs. Unfortunately the person screen code has a major bug that messes with app state. If this happens you need to restart the app. I’m hoping to finish the person screen soon so I can do a release to fix all of this.
I’ll try it out.
If you have any feedback, let me know!
Definitely. My app needs are typically very low demand, so if it works most of the time, I’m happy. Great work though!
Thank you for infinite scrolling! I really love the app. And thank you for having such a simple, yet extremely effective font size slider. This is the best app I have found for my old eyes.
Thank you! I’m happy you enjoy the app :D
Summit has made great progress. It’s good to see the ability to personalize gestures in posts. However, I think the comment section would benefit more from this feature, rather than the posts. Now, I’m not sure how to downvote or unsave a comment.
You can tap a comment to expand it to show additional actions. Custom gesture actions for comments is already implemented for the next update. Please checkout the WIP post for details.
