Swipe to go back

The title of this release is dedicated to some of the most frustrating time I've ever had implementing a feature. Implementing swipe to go back practically broke everything in the app and introduced numerious bugs. I'm still skeptical whether the feature was worth adding as it will continue to cause issues when designing navigation within the app.

Changelog:

  • Added support for clicking Lemmy links. Clicking on Lemmy links from within the app should open them within the app.
  • When navigating back from post screen -> post feed, the post will be highlighted briefly to show where you were looking last on the screen.
  • Added double press back to exit
  • Tapping back from “Saved” or “History” screen will move to the “Home” screen instead of existing the app.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping a post would cause it to appear 3 times in your history
  • Fixed a bug where sentences are not auto capitalized in the comment editor
  • Added swipe to go back gesture for the post screen.
  • Refresh score of comment/post after vote is submitted to the server
  • Added layout where the content for posts is on the right hand side to make it easier for people browsing with larger phones

Big update that adds comment posting

Summit v0.1.9 is finally live on the play store after one of the longest reviews I've seen taking close to 5 hours.

This is a huge update and a lot of code has been changed.

This update adds the ability to post comments, edit comments and delete comments.

A detailed changelog is posted below.

  • Added the ability to post, edit and delete comments
  • Added a comment editor. Includes features such as text formatting, and comment previews. The ability to insert images in comments will be added in a future update.
  • Added sort by subscribed
  • Added support for heavily nested comments.
  • Added support for spoilers.
  • Fixed a bug where the upvote/downvote button would be unresponsive
  • Fixed a bug where images in posts would have extra padding at the top/bottom
  • Fixed a bug where the community posts will overlap if the user has no bookmarked communities, but has subscribed communities, the user left the app while on a subscribed community, came back to the app and tapped on the home community.
  • Fixed a up where up/down votes would not update the UI
  • Fixed the comment button on the community screen. The comment button will correctly jump into the comments of the post when tapped.
  • Fixed a bug where the text of buttons was a weird shade of purple/blue. It is now just entirely black.

Preview of add/edit comments

This feature likely took over 12 hours to implement in full. I'm so glad it's working :D
