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 :)

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 2 years ago (3 children)

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

So it is! Missed it! Sorry

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

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

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

[–] Zarxrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] fedcon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

Favorites are not sticking for me.

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

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

[–] s6original@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

I didn't know they did.

Finally got the update. Some great improvements in there! Had to reconfigure my settings, but that only took about 30 seconds.

The swipe to open side menu does seem a bit glitchy, however.

It seems to open the side menu at the same time you swipe back to your home screen. Unfortunately, I just have to immediately clear it away to see my home screen.

Once you're actually on your home screen (which is where you'd expect it to work), swiping doesn't do anything.

Of note, I'm talking about the swipe action to the right from essentially anywhere on the screen. ~~If there's a separate action I'm missing from the extreme left edge, that being overridden by Android's own built-in back gesture.~~

EDIT: Oops. My bad. The Android extreme edge swipe does open the menu from the home view. I'd just not been using it in favor of the swipe from anywhere.
