[Release][v1.44.3] Customi Emojis & User requests in c/summit@lemmy.world

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Yep I was able to reproduce the issue. Unfortunately the issue is only present in the release build and not debug builds so I did not catch it earlier. I am issuing an emergency release now.

Read on scroll not consistent in c/summit@lemmy.world

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I just tested it and it seems to work consistently for me. The way it's designed to work is any post you scroll past (eg. the post has to be scrolled completely off screen) will be marked as read. If you think it should work differently or if this is not what you see happening please let me know.

Also if you could share a video that would also be helpful for me to look into the issue since I can't reproduce it on my end.

Update

I reviewed the code for this and I found a minor flaw however it should still be marking all posts above a certain point as read, it's just the "line" it uses to figure out what to mark can be unpredictable. Eg. an item can be scrolled a off screen and still not marked as read until a certain amount of things have been scrolled on screen. I've updated the logic so it items scrolled off screen are instantly marked as read. This change will go out in the next update.

Search screen redesign in c/summit@lemmy.world

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Maybe also include a current list of trending communities, similar to the daily post in !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl?

That's actually where I got the idea of a list of suggested communities from. The suggestions will be based on what is trending.

Sort the results by number of posts, or monthly average users, or by community with the most recent post. Exclude communities from dead or defederated instances. For example, when lemmyf.uk shuts down every instance they were federated with will retain local copies of their old communities. There is no reason to refer users to those ghost town communities.

Unfortunately both of these ideas would be difficult to implement on the client side without some sort of server side support. These features are better suited for the Lemmy server than a client :(. The client already allows you to sort the results however the way they are sorted isn't always intuitive.

I've begun collecting data for the trending communities feature. I will let it run for ~a week before I start using it in the app.

[Release][v1.44.3] Customi Emojis & User requests in c/summit@lemmy.world

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

~~Update for users who downloaded the app from the Play Store: it looks like the app has been chosen for manual review. Usually when this happens it takes substantially longer to get the release approved by Google. I'll update this comment/post once the release is reviewed.~~

Update is approved. I'm rolling the update to beta users then to release ASAP.

No problem. Unfortunately it looks like this release is stuck in review. It probably got selected to be manually reviewed by a real person or something.

Search screen redesign (lemmy.world)

Been playing with a new design for the search screen. This change was prompted by a user who wanted a faster way to access subscribed communities. This design also suggests some communities to users which could be cool.

For suggestions, I have a few options. I think the best way to implement it would be to create a server that generates community suggestions however this would incur a monthly cost. I think if I go this route I will create the start of a backend for Summit and open source it. The ideal situation is to get the monthly server cost covered by donations but I can also cover the cost. It should be around ~10-15 CAD/mo.

If any one has any suggestions/concerns feel free to comment.

First release since I've gotten back from vacation. This release addresses a good chunk of the user requests. There are some big ones left over that will be addressed in future releases.

Full changelog

Updated the UI for the emoji picker.
Updated the UI for deleted/removed posts so it has a distinct looked.
Added a new setting to disable markdown parsing for post titles.
Added a menu option to post/comments to copy it's contents.
Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.
Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.
Added a "Go to" dialog accessible in the main menu. This dialog allows you to jump to any Lemmy page directly given a link.
Added missing translations for Czech, German, Hindi, Italian, Swedish, and Turkish using Google Cloud Translations.
Cleaned up the settings for post/comment scores. Changed settings so that there is one setting for post scores and one for comment scores. There are three possible options for both settings: show scores (default), show up and down votes and hide scores.
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.
Fixed a bug where spoiler tag state is reset if certain actions are performed. This also fixes a bug where spoiler tag state is reset when taking an advanced screenshot
Adjusted the width of the "include in screenshot" checkbox for advanced screenshots so it's easier to tap.

Update

Release has been in review for a few hours now. I hope it's not another 1 week review release :|.

Update 2

Found a bug introduced with this release. Sometimes tapping on a comment will not expand the comment actions. v1.44.1 will address this issue.

Update 3

Some more bug fixes:

Fixed a bug where spoiler tag state is reset if certain actions are performed. This also fixes a bug where spoiler tag state is reset when taking an advanced screenshot.

Update 4

Changed the logic for "mark post as read on scroll" to immediately mark any post that is fully scrolled off screen as read. The current logic can be a bit unpredictable about how far you'd need to scroll before a post is marked as read.

Update 5

I was made aware of a serious crash in the app in v1.44.2. I have addressed the issue and I am in the process of submitting an emergency release now (v1.44.3). Apologies for the inconvenience.

Made a simple website to showcase the app (summit.idunnololz.com)

This has been something I've been wanting to do for a while. The app has been pretty stable recently so I can take a moment to work on a simple website for it. The purpose of the website is to have an official "front page" for the app.

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

Fixed a bug where the wrong icon is shown when viewing an instance's info.

UI update for the emoji picker popup.
Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.

Added a "Go to" dialog accessible in the main menu. This dialog allows you to jump to any Lemmy page directly provided you have a link.
Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.

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.

Update 2

I'm experimenting with translating the app via "AI" since it's a pretty cheap and fast way to localize the entire app.

I'm on vacation until October 20th. (lemmy.world)

No guarantees I'll read anything posted here until then. See ya!

Edit: Vacation got extended one day from the 19th to the 20th because I was sick with a fever for a few days during vacation and I was bed ridden. I extended my vacation to see/do more.

[Release][v1.43.2] Create account! (freediverse.com)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

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.

She almost always moves if she sees me trying to take pictures of her so most of my pictures of Momo are a blur. I finally got a usable shot yesterday in a dark setting.
