Summit

Back from vacation, but I'm unfortunately a bit sick. Anyhow...

Changes so far:

• Fixed a bug where the wrong icon is shown when viewing an instance's info.
• Fixed a bug where the title is shown when it should be hidden on the community info/instance info screen.

Update

Quick update on what I'm working on these days. I'm currently working on a website for Summit. No, I am not making a web version of Summit. This is specifically a website to showcase the app and direct users to the relevant pages for the app. This work is specifically done to target people who might search for "Summit for Lemmy" or for sharing purposes. I've had the idea for a while now and I think right now is a good time to make the website.

Welcome to v1.43.0. This release adds a feature I've thought about since the start of the project but just never implemented: account creation! In v1.43.0 new users to Lemmy will be able to go through the entire account creation process (minus email verification) from the app.

The hope with this feature is that it will help reduce Lemmy's sign up friction even further, especially for Summit users.

Full changelog

• Added a create account option to the sign in screen.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.
• Improved the current community UI
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.

Update

Bumped to v1.43.1 to resolve a minor issue with the build.

Update 2

Bumped to v1.43.2 to address some issues and also add some minor improvements.

• Refreshed the design of the community selector sheet.
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
• Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.

Too much has changed since Roadmap V2 was created. So we are starting fresh again to clean up the clutter!

If you have any feature requests, please feel free to comment them here.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Add upvoted/downvoted posts and comments to saved.
• Change homepage from settings.
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Mark post unread

Specific user requests

• quick access to subscribed communities by one tap instead of tap on home and swipe. (Suggestion was to add subscribed communities to the search page) (I'm holding off on implementing this one for now because I have some cool solutions here but it will take a long time to implement)
• Combine score related settings to be a enum with values (1) hide scores, (2) show scores (3) show up and down votes.
• Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
• Some users like to work on multiple posts at the same time, possibly over a long period of time. The request here is a better draft system so managing drafts is easier for this use case.
• Modify the emoji pack
• Toggle to disable rendering post titles with markdown. Reasoning given: some titles have hashtags meant to mean "number" and not "header".
• Copy comment button.

Stretch features (nice to have but I need to do more research)

• Possible integration with mastodon/? (needs research)
• Support kbin?
• Tag users + Sync between devices?

Completed features

• Add "reason" for mod actions.

• Add support for tablets.
• Add a way to customize the comment menu (the menu that has the overflow, add comment button and upvote/downvote buttons).

• Comment filters (by keyword)
• Add a way to customize the post quick actions menu.
