Problem: Whenever I click on a post/comment, open some communities or switch tabs I previously opened, the app does not fetch new updates.
Solution: make the app refresh each time a new action is taken the same way jerboa does it, to improve the users experience.
Could you please clarify what “fetch new updates” means? If it’s hard to describe please give a specific example. I’m not sure what this means.
If you could give a specific example of why the current behavior is not ideal, this would help as well. Thanks.
Let’s say you opened any new page in the app, say for example my profile:
The expected behavior: when I click the profile tab I would see my posts with latest comments/score updated.
The current behavior: when I click my profile it shows old comments/scorewwhich is not ideal because I need to swipe up couple of times to make sure what I am seeing is the latest version of my profile, which has the latest comments/ score.
BTW, I know what I am saying is something that a lot of people probably had said to you,but reporting bugs and adding features would be easier if you hosted the app source code into any code repo, even if you license it only under source available license, so anyone can submit code to the project more easily and follow issues easily.
Anyway, hopefully that explains what I mean by fetching the latest updates.
Also, thank you for clarifying the issue. I understand what the problem and proposed solutions are now. I’ll add this to the roadmap as this change is a bit involved and there are several possible solutions.
I actually don’t want people to create PRs as it means I have to review them and I hate reviewing PRs. As for tracking bugs, technically nothing stops you from filing bugs here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy/issues. People have filed bugs here in the past and I do update them.
