Hey guys! Sorry for being AWOL for the past few days. I’ve been taking some personal time and stepped away for a bit. Going to be cleaning up some more stuff and pushing out some good stuff to you guys soon.

This build here - for real this time - offers significant performance enhancements. There is more to be done, but this is a great start.

Here’s some changes:

  • Hide username in the tab bar
  • Some context menu refactors
  • Add bug report option
  • We have replaced the old UI library with a new one. There are still some quirks to work out, and we will be handling those over the next few days. This offers quite a significant performance boost over the last library.
  • Using more stable variables to prevent unnecessary re-renders. This is one part of the performance improvements.
  • Fix infinite refreshing attempts of an empty community
  • Added option to delete posts. This was something I threw in tonight and will be finishing edit post tomorrow. I also have the mod tools ready to go, just a matter of adding them where they need to be in the menus
  • Comment chains are collapsed after either the first 4 2nd level comments or after 3 replies to a 2nd level comment. Much easier to scroll through comments now. This is a WIP so there might be issues. Let us know.
  • Added a comment jump button. Speaks for itself. Might have some issues and is still a WIP. Let us know if anything goes wrong
  • Should have fixed a few crashes that were getting reported while I was away.

Again, sorry for the downtime. I’ll be more active over the next week and we should see some big stuff.

A well earned break! You've done amazing work :)

[–] playxdestroy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for your work!

Text size looks a bit wrong in this version. Usernames and community names are too big.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, seems to be a bit of a scaling issue from the migration to the new UI library. We'll get it fixed today :)

[–] playxdestroy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Thank you!

[–] worfamerryman 6 points 1 year ago

No problem, take all the time you need. I know it can be overwhelming to work on a project without serious downtime.

I think we have all taken our time away from our work just to forget for a while.

Hopefully you enjoyed your downtime 🙌

Hope you have enjoyed some downtime!

Just updated, iPhone 12 and it’s no longer loading past the start up screen…

Hopefully just a glitch!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oddly I’ve seen this issue with someone else. Let me see.

[–] wernsting@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Think I saw the issue. Pushing an update now :)

[–] wernsting@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that hasn’t fixed it fix for me…

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry I just released it, not the last one (other one was for another issue)...could you try that one (for reference it should be build 11)

[–] wernsting@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] wernsting@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Now that’s a quick turn around!

[–] tsp@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Build 11 fixes it for me, thanks for the great work!

[–] tsp@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I‘m having the same problem on an iPhone 12 as well as on an iPad Pro 5th gen…

[–] wernsting@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The latest build (11) fixed it for me

I’m super onboard with whatever you decide to do, but I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended functionality based on release notes, so figure I’ll ask here.

Since this release, best I can tell, up/downvotes are merged into a single number. I was using this app specifically because it kept them separated while others didn’t. Is this going to be a permanent UX change?

I only ask because I really really don’t like it (part of the draw of Lemmy is the separate up and downvote counts, and I actively do not want them combined, for mental health/groupthink reasons). I’d like to know if I should look for a different app (literally zero pressure intended) or if perhaps you plan to add a toggle or something for people who don’t/do want the condensed numbers.

If you end up adding a toggle (or there exists one presently I have not found), imho the default function of separating up/downvotes should be the default here also (this isn’t Reddit and suppressing that fact doesn’t help people with the change; it needs to feel different to be different), but I’m not out here developing an app myself, since I don’t have the skills, so take that feedback for what it is.

I appreciate your work either way, thank you for doing what you do!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

There's a toggle for this under Appearance. Let me see if it got changed (accidentally) to default to enabled. If that happened, it isn't the intention.

Edit: Yea, it was changed. I'm reverting that back. Anyway, you can just disable the toggle for now. Thanks for the heads up.

Also it seems I can’t just select/“click”/press comments from my post history to view them in situ anymore.

I can’t see context for anything..

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Take your time, thank you for your work!

Apologies if I’ve missed this, but is support for inbox integration planned in the near future? Noticed the other day I messaged someone on desktop, they replied, I saw the notification dot in Memmy but I couldn’t see the message.

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, should be there this week.

[–] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

Nice, looking forward to it.

[–] nanometer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well deserved, good to have you back!

[–] whodatdair@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Been loving the app - thanks for all your work!

[–] cestvrai@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As a fellow developer, I know that time away from the code can be just as important as time with the code.

Great work so far!

[–] SpunkyBarnes@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for your app, it’s made the difference for me.

Just popped into updates (US iOS AppStore) and it’s still v0.4, do I just need to be patient?

Thanks again!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yea hopefully Apple gets to it today.

[–] barrybeebenson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i’m seeing some serious performance improvements on the ios 17 developer beta! woo!

[–] gkd@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Great to hear!
