Hi all! New release. Let’s get into it.

Versions!

And it’s well overdue. This is version 0.2.0, and assuming you have at least 0.1.4, you can check in settings to confirm your version and get updates! It’s a much nicer experience then “please close and reopen the app and cross fingers”

Lemmy community links

I have no idea what they’re called… but those handles that start with a exclamation mark? They now link inside the app! It’s much easier to subscribe to a community someone mentions.

Note: This is just for the format with an exclamation mark! There will be more work on internal app deep linking for posts, comments, etc.

Try it out! If you have v0.2.0, this should be tappable: !linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Share your favorite communities below! (I want to subscribe, lol)

Swipe right to collapse a comment thread

Just like Apollo, you can now swipe right to collapse! And swipe a bit further to reply, just like before.

In the future, these gestures will be customizable!

TONS of bugfixes

There have been a ton of little, but super annoying things fixed along the way.

What’s next

Posts (it would be nice to post these updated from wefwef…) Comment editing. And more bugfixes, of course!

    This is an amazing PWA!! Honestly feels just like an app and coming from Apollo feels just like it!

    Thanks for building this and sharing with the community!

    I just discovered wefwef and I just want to say thank you. It’s amazing. And it’s incredible how you’re single-handedly improving it so quickly as well. My muscle memory from years of using Apollo isn’t going to go to waste after all!

    How would you prefer accept bug reports and suggestions? There are some minor issues that I’ve noticed. For example, when replying to a large comment/post (like this one by you) the space for typing gets congested and if I try to scroll up my own comment, the whole dialog attempts to close. My workaround is to drag the cursor instead.

      Not currently (in Ionic) from what I’ve found (never say never), but there is a workaround. Tap the posts tab button in the footer and it’ll bring you to the top.

      It’s annoying, but once you get used to it not too bad. :)

    Don’t know why but when I hit the reply button on this thread I just get a black screen.

    Also when I use the exclamation mark I don’t get the drop-down to choose the community? I gave to type it out fully myself? So like !drumandbass@lemmy.world

    This thing is incredible. I have requests and whatever but honestly, I’m just amazed at how good it is.

    Many thanks for “swipe right (left?) to collapse a comment thread!” Just wanted to report that it does not collapse the whole comment thread now, only a current comment I swipe on.

        Ah, I see. I expected it to collapse all: children, siblings and parents—the whole comment thread—including the root (top level) comment, the way Apollo did.

    I might just be missing it but is there a way to change the text size across the app? If not is that on the list of features to add?

    My aging eyes are struggling with small typE these days.

    Great work. Really impressive.

        That will be really welcomed. At least by me!

        You have written a really good app. Even more impressive that it is a web app.

        I saw someone else ask about hiding read posts. I would love a button that allows you to toggle hidden read posts on and off on the main timeline. It’s another thing Apollo did really well that I haven’t seen any Lemmy app do so far.
