The next few items on the roadmap are all kind of small. I’m just going to try to knock as many of them down as I can before the next release!
Progress so far:
- Added support for clicking Lemmy links. Clicking on Lemmy links from within the app should open them within the app.
- When navigating back from post screen -> post feed, the post will be highlighted briefly to show where you were looking last on the screen.
- Added double press back to exit
- Tapping back from “Saved” or “History” screen will move to the “Home” screen instead of existing the app.
- Fixed a bug where tapping a post would cause it to appear 3 times in your history
- Fixed a bug where sentences are not auto capitalized in the comment editor
- Added swipe to go back gesture for the post screen.
- Refresh score of comment/post after vote is submitted to the server
- Added layout where the content for posts is on the right hand side to make it easier for people browsing with larger phones
Update
I was initially going to get a release out tonight but swipe to go back literally took all night to implement (if swipe to go back wasn’t such an intuitive gesture I would probably have just stopped implementing it). I have work tomorrow so unfortunately I will not be able to make a release today. I’ll aim for a release tomorrow morning. Gnight!
Update2
A release early today is looking impossible. I’m super swamped at work and I noticed some bugs in the app during testing, so I would be unhappy with the state of the app had I released it right now. The release is going to have to wait until after work.
Update3
Release will be ready soon. ~1 hour?
Update4
Adding swipe to go back added so many bugs. Found some more testing the release. It should finally be ready now though… Releasing now. Should be live in the play store in a couple of hours.
Update5
Found a bad bug while the release was getting reviewed. Will have to bump to 0.1.11.
I agree with your current decision right now regarding swipe to upvote. It seems unintuitive to me and with how tall my phone is, I assume there’s going to be a lot of mistake upvotes. I’ve tried another app with multiple actions that are triggered by varying degrees of swiping and it I would have to consciously control my swipes which seems harder than simply pressing a button.
I use both current gestures to the left and right and the community pane is pretty important. If anything, it allows easier access to rules or info for reference. I would like this to stay the same though I can suggest adding the community pane through the three dots/hamburger menu at the top like my previous reddit app.
