Thank you for making this app! It feels like an adequate alternative to liftoff, but I am having some (usability) problems. Could be a “me”-problem, though, since I am still getting the hang of the app and also the wall of settings it provides.

  • I cannot subscribe to any community. The button does vanish for a split second but just reappears. Tried it on multiple, but never worked.
  • I am using the left-handed setting. But the “preview” popup of a link has the buttons inconveniently on the right.
  • I can’t find out to jump to “all” or “local” posts of a specific instance.
  • Up/downvotes are on the left, but comment count on the right. Would be cool, if there was an option to have them together.
  • default up/downvote color is inverted from my point of view (up is red, down is blue). Would be cool, if there was a simple switch button without having to pick the opposite colors manually.
  • Drafts are saved but I can’t find them. A menu in the composing-post would be cool.
  • Something else, I currently can’t remember.

Thank you!

Edit: oh, it would be cool, if “save post” could be pulled out from the submenu beneath a post or comment.

Edit2:

  • the community-popup (button on top left) has a weird “back”-history. A popup should be always first to close. Also it should be modal since you interact with everything in the background and can’t close it tapping outside.
  • settings are weirdly bugged if you return from a category back to main. If i use the button on top left, everything works. But when I use the system back button, I cannot click on any category anymore. Though, I can still scroll.

    That makes sense. (The last “lemmy.world” in this text should be “programming.dev” in this case). But I cannot find out how to do that. In liftoff I would go to the context menu and select “view on other instance” and select my account on programming.dev and it would continue working. However, I cannot find something similar in summit and I am not sure (as a user) how to apply the suggestion in the popup (maybe I am stupid).

    This is an edge case I didn’t handle. I’ll add it as a bug to fix for the next release.

    The most weird thing for me is that all outside the popup is interactable. Example Video (link self-destructs in a couple of days).

    Ah, tablet. That makes sense. The app doesn’t handle tablets very well at the moment mostly due to me lacking a physical tablet test device. I can’t really justify buying a tablet just for a fun side project at the moment. I can test on an emulator but I avoid it because the screen is really large and breaks my screen layout. I will get this bug fixed at least for the next release. Thanks for reporting!

    Since you are on a tablet, you might be interested in an experimental feature I added to the app, which is navigation rails. It might improve the screen usage slightly. To enable it go to Settings > Misc > Navigation rail mode. Turning it to Auto should auto-detect that you are using a tablet and switch to it. I’ll enable it in the future by default after I work out all of the kinks :D.
