Hey all!

Saw some chatter across the community and just wanted to give an update of where things are.

It's been a busy summer with vacations, work and the craziness that comes along with it. I personally had 2 new additions to my family (twins!) and was on parental leave for a bit then figuring out the new work routine with the additional kiddos!

All that being said things are starting to stabilize for me and I'm getting back into the swing of Liftoff development. I have a laundry list of items I plan to tackle during the long weekend in the US:

  • Move through the backlog of open PRs and get those merged
  • Look into the unwarranted post view refresh that I've seen reported
  • Triage the GitHub issues list
  • Sluggish FPS

Additionally we're actively discussing larger user experiences that we're thinking about changing, specifically multi instance and cross instance account handling. You can track that discussion and please contribute your thoughts here:

Thanks for using the app, and thanks for being an active community. Excited for what's to come!

As always please join us on matrix!

Sorry about that! Forgot to push the publish button :)

Woah nice find. This is outta control. I think our new infinite scroll library will make this better. That should be in the next release and I'll personally keep a close eye on this. Pretty wild. Thanks for reporting!

Yes these are coming. Probably the release after next, starting with basics such as pin/ban

What version are you on? Once you begin to scroll up the nav bar will show

The card shadows are a little much. I forgot those were on my default. @mykl@lemmy.world would you agree?

This looks really great! If you're interested in contributing to an app you should check out Liftoff!

We're totally open source and community contribution driven and we're moving fast! But we're lacking designer contributions!

If you're interested check out our open GitHub issues/enhancements:

This is currently not possible. We'll see about supporting it. You can go darker with AMOLED, but I know some users want an in between.

More theming capability will come eventually but likely after official iOS/Android release

We're working on improving the interactions for non logged in instances. Specifically trying to enable functionality that should be possible if you're on a different instance that is federated.

After adding your instance you can remove lemmy.world by long pressing it in the account settings

[–] zachatrocity@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Sorry it took so long! Let me know if you have any issues!

I had noticed this for spoiler, thanks for the heads up on the other tags. Will take a look

 

Hey guys, I used to post a bit on Reddit whenever I would do zhop inlays. But now I'm on Lemmy and I wanna share with this community!

It's sort of tradition for our household that I 3d print the cake decorations for our birthdays. This year's theme was Mario! I printed most items using the Z-Hop inlay method with sequential printing in super slicer.

I also printed a box that the turtles shells, bricks, coins, and mystery blocks can go it so we can save those for future play.

 

Took this picture on backpacking trip in the Frank Church.

Easily my favorite picture I've ever taken and the best place I've ever been backpacking!
