Great work. My go-to app for now
Just downloaded it. So far, it’s the only one I’ve found that allows you to filter your subs by typing. Makes navigating subs much faster.
I like it so far!
I just switched over from Connect. Looks great!
I’m not sure how to submit GitHub issues, but there are a few things I want to note (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro):
Sometimes when opening a post, after loading the entire comment screen is taken up by a blank gray screen. I can slide back out to the post/feed view, and after a few attempts re-enter the comment view and actually see comments. I haven’t seen other complaints about this, and don’t know what’s causing it.
When I use the built-in browser to view a link, there is no shortcut to back out to the comment view. Instead, I have to mash “back/up” enough to return to the view. A nice inclusion would be some sort of top bar or navigation bar to allow “leaving” the link and returning to my normal Liftoff view.
Thanks for everything!
Exact same problems as me. Also on a pixel 6.
Theming + support for more instances, this is gonna make Liftoff my go-to app. Thanks!
👍
boy, every time I think I’ve found the client that’s gonna be my go-to, I find another that impresses me. your app is absolutely on top of its game!
As much as I love swipe actions, I really really really love how easy it is to go back to a feed from a post in liftoff since actions aren’t tied to swiping. If you ever decide to change this, I hope you’ll leave an option in to revert it. (Pulse for squabbles also went the “anti-swipe” route and it’s been eye-opening to compare apps based on this feature alone)
Liftoff also handles instance navigation sooo well. The ability to see front pages for instances you aren’t a member of from inside an app is an awesome feature that no other app I’ve tried has offered (the only post I’ve made is requesting this exact thing…). Dunno if it’s intended to work this way but if you add an instance on the login form but just don’t login, it’ll still show up in the drop-down allowing you to view the local/all feeds for it.
Can’t wait to see what else you have planned! The newest update with themes isn’t even the version I have yet so excited about that.
Thanks so much!
Adding a translation option is a great quality of life feature! Thanks a lot to all the team who supports the development!
Best looking client for Lemmy right now. By far. Love the accent color chooser. Do you have any plans to implement Material You so that it’s automatic?
It’s being considered for a future release.
You guys linked to the wrong post on GitHub btw
👍
Loving the primary colour option! The default was the only thing I wasn’t keen on in the app, and now I can jazz it up as I see fit. Awesome! Keep up the fine work 😎
Amazing work! Thanks for the lightning fast updates. That keyboard opening bug was annoying
Doing great work, I love the new by hour and 6 hour setting. Very happy with the app.
I had been waiting for Boost for Lemmy to arrive but Liftoff is so nice I may be tempted to stay here long term.
