Hi, Connect 1.0.59 brings a new profile page, improvements to how routes are handled within the app, and a host of new settings. I hope you like it!

I'm still thinking about what a 'new to Lemmy' onboarding might look like. Also I know some people reported issues with the markdown editor yesterday, if this version still have issues please add a comment and I'll try and sort them out today!

What's new

Community name and user name are now direct links, with a setting to disable it.
Added a quick link to the official community within the app
Added confirmation on exit app
Added swiping on the left edge of home will open the drawer.
The drawer navigation actions should be more responsive now
Added an option to adjust how nested comments look. Also I added a couple presets within Settings to change it. I hope you like the presets I've chosen.
Added some improvements to the profile page. Tabs for overall/posts/comments and a page header
Added some haptic feedback for swipe actions

Bugfixes

Fixed comment cards in the reply view are no longer clickable
Fixed a three dot menu being invisible (web)
Fixed some routing issues when creating a comment or editting a comment. Instead of the previous state being in history it should now show only the state after the change.

Also please let me know what you think of the colour palettes I've chosen for the comment lines. If you're thinking of one that would be cool I'm happy to add it in :)

Favorites are not sticking for me.

Edit: They're staying now but there seems to be some wonkiness.

It seems like every time I go to reply to a comment it says "could not load this comment" now. It was working before

Edit: I realized I have a request as well. Can you add Top 12 Hours Top 6 Hours Top 1 Hour. I also think it might help to limit the size of the popups when tapping the three dot buttons, some of them have like 10 items now lol

Should it be respecting my preference to start on the subscribed communities feed? Currently it always defaults to all.

[–] s6original@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a three-dot menu on the selection for Frontpage. Select default there.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That works, thanks. But the subscribed/local/all preference is stored in your profile settings on the Lemmy instance, shouldn't Connect follow that like the other apps?

[–] s6original@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know they did.

Hello, I just heard about this app and tried it out. It's instantly become my favorite as being most similar to RIF of the ones I've tried. I figured posting feedback and bugs to the current release thread will keep things the most organized.

[Bug] Post titles do not display for me (Galaxy Fold 4) in open/closed mode. I've tried toggling through the various themes and post view styles with no luck. Screenshot

[Request] When clicking on a comment, it expands to display ways to interact with it. If you click on another comment, the options for the previous comment remain visible. The "ActiveComment" should be the only one with visible options to conserve screen space.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! If you change the 'Font type for posts' or 'Post Titles above Images' setting does that have any affect? Just trying to narrow down what might be causing the issue.

Thanks for the great app.

A feature I would like is an option to open in external browser rather than only webview. If I want to share a link on at the moment it's quite difficult

[–] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That should be possible! Settings -> open links in external browser

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So it is! Missed it! Sorry

I like it so far but I can't figure out how to collapse comment chains. Otherwise much better than gerboa for me.

Those are some nice changes!

The previous history being shown after editing a comment was particularly annoying. Glad you fixed that.

Oh and since it seems like you're working on the user experience side of things, I made a post here with some suggestions for you to consider regarding the app!

Deleted comments still appear, just with a "deleted" indicator next to them. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, then maybe there could at least be an option to not display the deleted comments?

[–] Tebza255@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Feature request, can we have a option to swipe post (horizontal scroll) instead of vertical scrolling only.
