fennec·Fennec for Lemmybydelirium

Patch 0.0.3 is Live

I think, at this point, app is pretty stable and useable, I'm even planning to submit it to Google Play Store for private testing (mostly for the convenience of updating the app).

If you tried this or previous versions, hows your experience was so far? Don't be afraid to share your opinions, requests and spotted issues. My phone is pretty large and its the only way I test my own app, so maybe I'm missing something design wise? Are the lists (comments, posts) working fine and fast?

And, as usual, I'll be glad to have some contributions.

The app is going pretty well! It's pretty smooth and quick. There's just a few things I'd like to see addressed:

  • the time and date for each post is way off. I'm guessing it's using a certain timezone instead of my local time
  • show the instance for each post. For example, I can't tell if a post is on beehaw.org/c/technology or lemmy.ml/c/technology because it's just shown as "c/technology"
  • the username and time in the header can overlap as seen here
  • open links in Custom Tabs
  • the list of followed communities should also have their instance shown
  • EDIT: a button to jump to next parent comment

And some other minor things that would be nice to have but not urgent

  • option for a dark theme/background (not AMOLED black)
  • ability to change font size. At the moment it is fine (thank you for not picking super small fonts like a lot of others!) but I'm sure it'll be beneficial for others requiring more accessibility
  • the list of followed communities is not in alphabetical order so it's hard to navigate

Thanks for all your work so far!

Fixed few issues in new update, but sorting communities will be quite a chore to be honest, since API gives us ability to sort same as posts only (activity, top X, hot, new, old etc) but not by subscription date or alphabetically. Don't want to spam them with multiple requests to grab all apis, but I'll consider raising and issue on their github. :)

What a comprehensive list, thank you. I'll add everything to my to do list so I won't miss anything :)

I really like the app, especially "mark posts read while scrolling" feature that only exists in this app so far! I only want to ask: is that possible to stop the app from vibrating every time I upvote/save/etc?

This is not possible right now, but I will for sure add this setting in the next update (around Wednesday or Thursday, since I'm flying to different country for couple days)
