Best part about the new icon set: it feels like I’m giving a cat a little tiny high five with my thumb every time I open the app.

I find it a bit jarring that to close the gallery preview I have to swipe down - there’s no option to swipe up. This sort of goes against the UX since I want to continue scrolling down the page after looking at a photo. It always catches me out.

Seems like the line spacing is a bit out of whack, definitely not as condensed as it should be (especially obvious in comments).

Changelog: August 1st

Build 2023.08.01.01.14

• Added the ability to create "groups" on the Communities tab. This is a WIP and you cannot delete or edit yet. I'm also open to a better name for this feature!
• Pushed the creation of SDAnimatedImage to a background thread to alleviate some of the UI blocking that was causing animations to stutter. I'm still not 100% happy with this and will be revisiting in the future.

Just wanted to say the swipe to vote features and the haptic feedback are perfect! I think you guys have it down better than any other Lemmy app at the moment!

Looking forward to future updates. I could see this one being my main for sure!

Search is now available in the latest build. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Just testing, I was told to mention @steve228uk@lemmy.world

Dunno what magic you’re using but this app feels really good.

Keep up the great work, this is a great start to potentially being the best Lemmy app.

Changelog: July 30th

Build 2023.07.30.22.45

Smaller update than anticipated this weekend because it was pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and I was out celebrating with friends ❤️

This one is mainly bug fixes but there is a big change to how I'm handling multiple accounts. States are now persisted when accounts are changed. This means if you have a certain post open, switch accounts to browse on another instance, and then switch back — it will still be right where you left it.

• Added state persistence between account switches.
• Added press and hold on the account tab to open the account switcher.
• Removed background on the card and post footer.
• Removed background from featured posts on the single post view.
• Featured post backgrounds are now based on the accent colour.
• Made the entire card view tappable, not just the title.
• Tidied up the card and single post views.
• Fixed issues with bookmarking.
• Fixed issues with sharing links.
• Fixed issues with overlapping content in the post composer.
• Changed search on the communities selector in the composer.
• Fixed a visual glitch between the composer and community selector.
• Keyboard can now be dismissed in the composer community selection screen.
• Fixed an issue with scroll to top offsets.
• Added a link to posts on the Inbox and profile comments views. Still a WIP.
• Content of comments is now hidden if removed by a moderator or deleted by author.
• Added a link to the community on the Inbox and user profile comments.
• Markdown editor is now reset when creating a post or comment.

this is my favourite Lemmy app so far, it feels great!

if I may add a couple bits of feedback:

• would it be possible to select the position of the Skip Thread button? I understand that there can be at least 2 buttons down there, but it would be nice to have the flexibility.

• swipe actions in comments are great though I feel they trigger rather easily when scrolling down a thread. not sure if others have mentioned this already but maybe reducing sensitivity so the action is more deliberate could improve the experience?

• just noticed while typing this that the composer is having some scrolling issue with longer posts? I can't see past a specific point unless I hid the keyboard.

regardless, fantastic work! will there be a tip jar or some pricing model released soon? I'd love to support the app's development in some way

I couldn’t find this mentioned elsewhere, but when I go to view all my comments in the profile page, it comes up blank. Viewing my posts works fine.

I noticed another visual issue with the latest version. This time with the comments. Seems part of the comment can get cut off. See image.

Overall, I’m loving the app more and more with each update. At this point, I can use it to lurk without any real issues. I only need to switch to post or to comment with a photo. There are a few “wishlist” features that I’d love to see. But you’re moving real fast!
