Some feedback: 1: I’m sure you are working on this, but adding the ability to search for communities should be a priority. IMHO, I would copy how Apollo has a dedicated tab on the bottom menu for search. Alternatively, see (7)
2: A couple of features aren’t properly scaling when using the app in the “slide over” configuration on an iPad. The ones I’ve found so far are: it’s impossible to downvote a comment, the top UI elements smoosh into each other, and images don’t display without clicking on them
3: Consider getting a bit more active about promoting the app. This is way more impressive than Mlem
4: Consider adding a dedicated downvote button to comments. Currently people browsing with gestures disabled would not be able to downvote comments at all
5: Consider copying how Apollo will report how many comments are in a collapsed thread / comment chain. This is required to implement (6)
6: Consider automatically collapsing comment chains that are more than 5 replies deep.
7: Consider creating a dedicated interface for selecting communities / all. Perhaps the dialog could be triggered by tapping the top bar, and would contain radio buttons for sorting by all / subscribed / local, as well as a list of subscribed communities. You could also include a redundant shortcut to search (or even put the entire search dialog) here (see (1))
8: The menu when inside a community is currently missing the sidebar
Overall, this app is amazing! ---
Thanks for all the good feedback!!
Not the guy who made the original list, but if I could suggest something along the lines of number 5, maybe an option in settings to auto-collapse all child comments as well? Apollo had this and it was one of my favourite features of the app
For #5, it also might be valuable to have an option to collapse all comments by default.
As a side note, are there any plans to mark posts as read on scroll, and then auto-hide them? It was super nice being able to maintain a “history” and avoid revisiting posts over and over again.
Thank you for all your incredible work on this!
I'm a little late to the party, but I came here to suggest this too. One of my favorite Apollo features was being able to hide all read posts with a single button, so my feed was always clean of old posts I'd already interacted with.
