The fact that Jerboa makes me click an Imgur link rather than embedding the Imgur content under this post when I click it feels like a possible area for improvement.
Since you are asking, here's my primary 2 complaints about the UI so far that so far seem unaddressed:
not having placeholders for community icons and user avatars is jarring. This pushes the text around which makes each card slightly missaligned with the last depending on if there are icons/avatars. This gets tiring to read. It doesn't need to be fancy. It could be a black box, or even just padding.
in the same vein, it's hard to see what post/comment link is in what instance. This is especially important because different moderation rules apply to different instances. Also, celebrate the diversity of federation!
Relay was the only app I could use consistently. I tried all the others. There is a Reddit API proxy that someone was creating for Lemmy that has been linked to /u/DBrady - hopefully he uses it to port his app here too.
It's terrific! Tried it last week but decided to just use the Lemmy website on my phone instead. Now I'm back to Jeroba as my daily driver. Update is excellent. Thank you!
IDK if this is possible, but can the downvote button be removed or hidden if I'm part of a community that disables downvotes? I'm afraid that every time I misclick it the admins are gonna boot me for being a negative nancy.
I think it looks pretty nice, I think adding the ability to jump to the context of a reply to a comment would be pretty cool as well.
Like seeing the little notification for it in your messages and being able to tap on it to bring you to the context would be nice. I got pretty used to it in BaconReader.
The only thing I'm missing from RIF and relay is two pane landscape mode with the post feed on one side and the content of a selected post on the other for the tablet, but really great job so far!
This app is ridiculously good, thank you so much for putting this together. Great third party apps like this can make all the difference for site usability.
Will you make a PR? I see all this concepts here, but imaging something is not as easy as actually implementing it. Hope, Jerboa's dev team will grow with current reddit user influx.
That's great, thank you! Went to jerboa gh repo yesterday to check out stats and was pleased to see good spike on commit count just after reddit situation began.
Your picture isn't showing up for me :( I also haven't been able to use the app yet, I downloaded it but no matter what button I press on the screen it just keeps telling me I need to "login first" and I can't log in anywhere...
Click the three lines button at the top left to open the sidebar. Then at the too right of that bar there is a drop down arrow. Clicking this will get you the option to add account. Clicking add account will give you the login prompt where you will put in your site url and credentials and should be good to go
Best of luck.
[Edit] ok I was blind, there is already an option for that in the settings called "show action bar by default for comments" not sure, if this came with .33 or not but I'm happy now :D
Looks good!
One suggestion:
Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on...) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?
When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don't want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho
Edit³: issue closed, I would ask for more clear indication of the feature than (i think this is it) "comment action bar interaction improvements". I know the changelog needs to be succinct and must avoid excessive verbosity, but it took a while to figure out that long pressing in the username/vote counter bar reveals the interactions. Also an option to have them revealed at all times would be appreciated.
Works really well. My only complaint is when trying to collapse a comment tree if I accidentally tap a user's name instead then swipe to go back all the comment trees I've collapsed are no longer collapsed.
[edit]
Replying to a comment also uncollapses all collapsed comments.
We'll likely add an option soon to turn off small links (like inline user names and community names) so you won't be taken to the user's profile in the first place if you accidentally tap it.
I could not reply to this post because the "comment icon" was missing. I had to turn my phone in landscape mode just to see it. I can see it on other comments without doing this though. Just not on the OP.
I discovered two different bugs, the inbox replies interactions are missing(Edit: this is not a bug, it's a feature. Long press in the space beside the username and the interaction bar will expand. Thiswas not communicatedanywhere that i could find), and changing the font size cuts off the bottom option in settings.
I'm wondering if you could try changing your font size and see if that effects things for you?
Loving it! Small bug: if I search a community and try to subscribe to it, Jerboa says I need to be logged in (even tho I already am). EDIT it seems to be working now. Weird
