Been playing with a new design for the search screen. This change was prompted by a user who wanted a faster way to access subscribed communities. This design also suggests some communities to users which could be cool.

For suggestions, I have a few options. I think the best way to implement it would be to create a server that generates community suggestions however this would incur a monthly cost. I think if I go this route I will create the start of a backend for Summit and open source it. The ideal situation is to get the monthly server cost covered by donations but I can also cover the cost. It should be around ~10-15 CAD/mo.

If any one has any suggestions/concerns feel free to comment.

This has been something I've been wanting to do for a while. The app has been pretty stable recently so I can take a moment to work on a simple website for it. The purpose of the website is to have an official "front page" for the app.

Back from vacation, but I'm unfortunately a bit sick. Anyhow...

Changes so far:

• Fixed a bug where the wrong icon is shown when viewing an instance's info.
• Fixed a bug where the title is shown when it should be hidden on the community info/instance info screen.
• UI update for the emoji picker popup.
• Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.
• Cleaned up the settings for post/comment scores. Changed settings so that there is one setting for post scores and one for comment scores. There are three possible options for both settings: show scores (default), show up and down votes and hide scores.
• Added a new setting to disable markdown parsing for post titles.
• Added a menu option to post/comments to copy it's contents.
• Updated the UI for deleted/removed posts so it has a distinct looked.
• Added a "Go to" dialog accessible in the main menu. This dialog allows you to jump to any Lemmy page directly provided you have a link.
• Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.

Update

Quick update on what I'm working on these days. I'm currently working on a website for Summit. No, I am not making a web version of Summit. This is specifically a website to showcase the app and direct users to the relevant pages for the app. This work is specifically done to target people who might search for "Summit for Lemmy" or for sharing purposes. I've had the idea for a while now and I think right now is a good time to make the website.

Update 2

I'm experimenting with translating the app via "AI" since it's a pretty cheap and fast way to localize the entire app.

No guarantees I'll read anything posted here until then. See ya!

Edit: Vacation got extended one day from the 19th to the 20th because I was sick with a fever for a few days during vacation and I was bed ridden. I extended my vacation to see/do more.

I have some plans for v1.43 that I will add here later. For now, I'm just going to be doing some quick bug fixes. I've been fairly busy in my personal life outside of work so I haven't had as much time to work on Summit. Progress is still being made, just slightly slower. I will also be going on vacation from the beginning of October. My extreme stretch goal would be to release v1.43 well before I go on vacation so I have some time to polish the release before I'm on vacation but we shall see if that's feasible.

Changes so far

• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.

Update

Whoops I accidentally put [Release] in the title. This has been corrected.

She almost always moves if she sees me trying to take pictures of her so most of my pictures of Momo are a blur. I finally got a usable shot yesterday in a dark setting.
