Hey. Thanks for your work. Photon is fast. I like the design too.

A few things I would like to see would be:

Major ones:

Sorting Comments
More sorting options for feeds
Hide the bottom navigation bar (from the browser) like a proper webapp. Right now it behaves like a normal open tab in my browser (Kiwi for Android)
Search button for content search. I love the Globe button for communities.
Markdown option for writing comments
Preview comments before publishing

Minor ones:

Can you make this Comments button to collapse/show all the child comments when clicked/unclicked? It makes revisiting and navigating parent comments easier

Here's what I've added out of what you've asked:

Sort comments
Search button

I've mostly been working on other stuff like moderation tools, but I'll work on the rest tomorrow.

Wow! Awesome work.

You are fast.

You also added the option to remove text bodies from post. Thanks for that. The 3 line text didn't offer much information. We had to open the post anyways to read it.

I'll add those to the roadmap, thanks!

I think I found two bugs:

Comments showing wrong time durations
In the Communities list, the Subscribe button is highlighted on some subscribed communities and not all of the subscribed communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I believe the wrong time durations are an issue with the Lemmy API itself, as all of the test cases for my Relative date component pass.

I'll fix the community list subscribe buttons right now.

Awesome work. I also noticed that the instance name needs to be entered in lower case or clicking to see own profile doesn't work (e.g., Lemdro.id breaks it but lemdro.id works fine).
