Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Jerboa UI adjustments (streamable.com)

I have been playing around with the Jerboa UI to make it a bit more usable for my style.

Since I would call some of these UI adjustments significant to the original design and I have used a couple different libraries I don't think I should create a pull request for them but I might need to see.

  • Changed the theme to an amoled dark style.
  • Fixed the weird font scalings for comments.
    The comment (markdown) text fields were set to scale to x1.3. I am sure this was probably to fix something somewhere but it made the comments way to big for me and restoring it caused no ill effects from what I can tell on my phone.
  • Fixed the flash bang transitions. Optimized for the dark theme.
  • Activity transitions changed for proof of concept but work pretty well so far for my style.
  • Comment cards made significantly more compact.
  • Comment toolbar (voting options) are now hidden as they take too much space for my liking. Clicking the comment shows/hides the toolbar.
  • Collapsing comment chains now collapses smaller with a better indication of being collapsed.

I am sure there are other items I adjusted as well and there is always more to do, although I figured I would put this out there and see what the feedback is like.

@therealfooza this looks great is this released as a fork anywhere?

Given the feedback and fixes I am going to contribute back to the original project. If the UI changes are too drastic I will consider managing a separate fork.
