Hi, Connect 1.0.59 brings a new profile page, improvements to how routes are handled within the app, and a host of new settings. I hope you like it!

I'm still thinking about what a 'new to Lemmy' onboarding might look like. Also I know some people reported issues with the markdown editor yesterday, if this version still have issues please add a comment and I'll try and sort them out today!

What's new

  • Community name and user name are now direct links, with a setting to disable it.

  • Added a quick link to the official community within the app

  • Added confirmation on exit app

  • Added swiping on the left edge of home will open the drawer.

  • The drawer navigation actions should be more responsive now

  • Added an option to adjust how nested comments look. Also I added a couple presets within Settings to change it. I hope you like the presets I've chosen.

  • Added some improvements to the profile page. Tabs for overall/posts/comments and a page header

  • Added some haptic feedback for swipe actions

Bugfixes

  • Fixed comment cards in the reply view are no longer clickable
  • Fixed a three dot menu being invisible (web)
  • Fixed some routing issues when creating a comment or editting a comment. Instead of the previous state being in history it should now show only the state after the change.

Also please let me know what you think of the colour palettes I've chosen for the comment lines. If you're thinking of one that would be cool I'm happy to add it in :)

Finally got the update. Some great improvements in there! Had to reconfigure my settings, but that only took about 30 seconds.

The swipe to open side menu does seem a bit glitchy, however.

It seems to open the side menu at the same time you swipe back to your home screen. Unfortunately, I just have to immediately clear it away to see my home screen.

Once you're actually on your home screen (which is where you'd expect it to work), swiping doesn't do anything.

Of note, I'm talking about the swipe action to the right from essentially anywhere on the screen. ~~If there's a separate action I'm missing from the extreme left edge, that being overridden by Android's own built-in back gesture.~~

EDIT: Oops. My bad. The Android extreme edge swipe does open the menu from the home view. I'd just not been using it in favor of the swipe from anywhere.
