Hi, thank you everyone for the feedback. This release mostly is just added improvements that have been highly requested. 113 adds draft posts and comments as well as video playback for most video services. I’ve also added support for ::: spoiler tags ::: (although just a first iteration and I’m still playing with the styling), improved how communities and persons are fetched from remote instances (less API remote object not found errors) and some performance optimizations.

Changes

  • Draft posts and comments
  • inline video player (now muted and doesn’t pause other audio sources)
  • better post truncation (ends on a word end when possible)
  • Inbox no longer limited to the first page, added infinite scroll
  • Post list now displays a small page header every 20 posts (clicking jumps to the top)
  • Enabling full usernames (@instance) now uses the username and not the display name
  • Fixed an issue where some comments weren’t showing up in large threads.
  • post images now fade in (less flash)
  • Fixed an issue where posting a comment would stay at the edit page

Thank you for draft comments, I love you! And for full usernames. And finding the missing comments. Literally all the things that were making me crazy got addressed, you’re amazing. Please enjoy 5x coffee on me. 💕☕❤

Connect has fast become my chosen lemmy app, thanks for the hard work!

One thing I miss from Relay is the comment navigator buttons floating at the bottom, any chance of a feature like this?

Hi. Thanks for the feedback! I can take a stab at it. What does that second button do with the comments icon?

It brings up this search interface

  • Threads will navigate between top comments
  • Search word will ask for a search term and then navigate between comments with that term.
  • Time will prompt user to input an amount time with a slider bar, navigation arrows then only look for comments that are newer than that time
  • moderator searches for moderator comments.

Would also allow you to enable AMA mode, that one was neat

Wow that really would be great, definitely would be the last thing I’m looking for in the app! Do you have a way of donating to the app?

Thanks for the fast updates.

One request I have is that for when opening web content, the title is just “Web”. I think it would be better to show a URL, or “Web - [URL]”, to double check that the loaded URL is the expected one. Maybe long press to copy the URL. Maybe a progress bar too.

Thanks again.

While we’re on the in-app browser topic, any chance the Android back button can act as a browser back button? E.g. You click a post link, and are in the in app browser and follow another link. The top back button will take you back to the post view, but the android back button just backs you up a browsed page.
