Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Change how comments hide (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 years ago by lol@sh.itjust.works to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml
17 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

When i press a parent comment it hides all child comment but then parent comment also becomes hidden. Please change this behavior. Comments shouldn't hide for a single press . When you long press the parent comment it should only hide all its child comments. Parent comment should still be visible.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

I see what you mean. Jerboa leaves only the username visible but hides the comment from view. I just checked Boost which i used, and it does the same. I'm with you in that being able to find a specific sub-thread again after it has been collapsed would indeed be good. I would prefer the collapsed comment not to take too much space, so that would be small font and truncation for me.

I found the collapse function somewhat unusable anyway, because i would want to collapse when i had reached the end of a branch in a sub-sub-thread, but then i'd want to collapse only that branch which i had just read, so that i could get back to the parent of that branch, get the context again, and start reading the next branch from there. Therefore i'd find a collapse-up function logical. It could still leave a bit of context of already-read stuff visible, though, as long as it doesn't take too much space.

~~Care to file a feature request over at github?~~
Just found that this might already be done in the next version: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/438

Huh, I guess I should have checked the github, the development is moving pretty quick. Looks like a1studmuffin and twizmwazin worked though this issue and they will go with a Boost style collapse, which is nice.
