I don't know if I'm just missing something, but is it possible to crop the full image previews to just take up a variable amount of height in the feed (like boost)? I'd prefer my images not take up more than 2/3rds of my full screen height so I can always see the post title.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to announce that it's been over a year since I started working on Summit (I started on June 13th, 2023). This is going to be a quick post as I am still busy with real life stuff but I wanted to commemorate this event.

I wanted to thank the community for the support and also for all of the feature requests, bug reports and the translations. The app has grown tremendously in just a year and I'm excited for the projects planned this year.

Thanks everyone.

Hey, is Summit compatible with 0.19.4 or should I hold off upgrading my instance? Do you develop Summit on latest stable, release clients, or latest (like an insane person)?

Feature request: Place a checkbox next to the currently selected sort which sets "hide read posts".

This way I do not have to issue two requests and two button clicks, if I switch the sort order. This should make the sort-mechanism more convenient.

Additionally one could either shortly show a toast that "automatic hide read posts" was set.

Alternatively a succinct icon could be plaed next to it.

I love the app so far but I am having trouble with opening Lemmy links from other instances. When someone links to say a Lemmy.world post, I am hit with a window saying I have to have a Lemmy.world account in order to vote and such. This is incredibly inconvenient, I don't know how voyager does it but voyager just lets me view the post and vote/etc. in my instance without forcing me to change accounts. Anyway to get rid of this behavior so it is more like voyager? I want other Lemmy links to be opened in my instance so I can vote and such.

Also unrelated but just now I was unable to upload a picture from summit and had to switch apps to upload the photo.

I should have mentioned this months ago. When I tap on the Save icon on a post or comment, I get a notification that the post or comment has been saved yet the Save icon doesn't change. Same if I tap to unsave.

Hello! I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to give a quick update on what is going on with the app.

The next feature I'm working on is quite large. Its offline support which aims to make the app usable offline... to a degree. This feature is going to be made up of several different parts including features to download certain content in advance and have the app respond to network changes.

In addition to this feature I am also working on some physical projects since it is summer where I am. I had a lot of yard work planned for this year so I'm also spending a lot of my free time with that. Due to this and the size of the next update, the next update will likely take a little longer.

Changes so far:

• Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.
• When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
• Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.

This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.

This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.

Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.

Full changelog

• Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
• Added support for community icons in the post feed.
• Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
• Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
• Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
• Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

Made a couple versioning mistakes so this will be released as v1.37.2 instead.

Update

I submitted the release but changes are in review still. It's been in review for over 5 hours so it feels like it's going to take a while before it's released to the play store.

Please upvote my comment below if you want community icons to be on by default. Down vote it if you prefer having them off by default.

Here are some screen shots of what the icons would look like for some layouts:

The next big feature on the menu is "Offline mode". This feature is difficult to tackle so I'm going to be implementing some other features that should make it easier.

The first is pre-fetching. Prefetching can also improve the base user experience so I will be looking at possible things that can be pre-fetched.

Changes so far:

• Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
• Added support for community icons in the post feed.
• Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
• Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
• Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
• Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

I'm changing the default on community icons to "on" since a good portion of you want it on by default. This will be configurable on a per-layout basis so you can always turn it off.

This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.

The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.

When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.

This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.

Full changelog

• Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
• Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
• Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
• Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
• Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
• Fixed a minor bug where the background of the inbox screen does not take up the entire height of the screen.
• Fixed a bug when using the screenshot feature to take a screenshot of a comment without the post. Remove the divider at the top of the screenshot that serves no purpose.
• Fixed a bug where sending an image to the app would show a bottom sheet but the bottom sheet would not be expanded.

Just thought of an idea at 4:52 am. What if you could long tap a post you don't like to see, tap something like "snooze posts like this for a week", and then all posts related to the subject would be hidden for a week but the filter will self destruct after the time limit.

Would people be interested in a feature like that?

I came up with the idea after I noticed that Lemmy, like Reddit, will cycle through certain topics. Sometimes you really aren't interested or there's simply too many posts about the topic you just want to tune it out.

Anyways if people want this let me know in the comments!

These two posts were pinned by communities that I follow, but since then they've never disappeared. I don't know if this is intended, but it seems annoying, given that the subscribed tab is all I use.

These post start to get annoying, but I don't knkw how to get rid of them without blocking the OPs for no real reason. :(

This update adds a new feed: all subscribed. This is the first feed that combines the feeds of multiple accounts, it lists posts from your subscribed communities from all of the accounts.

This update also reorganizes the app settings as well as some other changes. See the full changelog below for details

Full changelog

• Added a new setting to hide the UI in the image viewer by default.
• Added a new feed: all subscribed. This feed combines the subscribed feed of all signed in accounts.
• Moved the setting to make the notification bar completely transparent from Misc settings to Theme
• Moved the about and summit community setting options under a new category: About
• Renamed the existing "Post and comments" settings page to "Post and comments appearance".
• Removed the settings page for Comment list and added a new settings page for Post and comments settings.

• Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.

Update

Had to bump to v1.35.1 because I forgot to update the version number. v1.35.1 was submitted to the play store last night but it is still in review almost 24 hours later. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon :x.

Update

v1.35.1 is fully rolled out now.

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Changes so far

• Moved the setting to make the notification bar completely transparent from Misc settings to Theme
• Moved the about and summit community setting options under a new category: About
• Renamed the existing "Post and comments" settings page to "Post and comments appearance".

• Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.

Update

Haven't posted an update in a while so here it is. I've been working on adding general cross-account support for the past week and it's a big feature so I didn't really have much to update other than it's WIP. If I can't get the feature into a shippable state by this weekend I will do a release without it since there's plenty in this release already.

Note that by cross-account support I mean the supporting acting on a different account without switching the current account. This is a requirement for things like "cross account feeds" eg. multi-account subscribed feed.

We're going back to implementing new features with this release. However just like most release, this one also contains a lot of bug fixes and general improvements.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to choose a "quick action" for the post feed floatiing action button (FAB) (button at the bottom). When set, this action will trigger when the FAB is long pressed.
• Added setting to show edited times in post/comment headers. This will be on by default.
• Updated the design of the user profile screen slightly.
• Improve options menus even further.
• Changed user profile images to be tappable in comments.
• Handle Lemmy links to custom frontends.
• Updated translations. (Thank you translators)
• Fixed a bug where comment details do not wrap when collapsed.
• Fixed a bug when viewing information about moderated communities/subscribed communities.
• Fixed a crash when trying to preview an extremely high resolution image.
• Fixed a crash when interacting with spoiler tags.
• Fixed a rare crash.

Update

I accidentally did a release without changing the changelog within the app so I am bumping the version to v1.34.1 to address this issue.

Update 2

Fixed some bugs with the release. Releasing as v1.34.3.

Update 3

Fixed a bug where the edited time displayed was incorrect. This fix is released in v1.34.5.

When tapping on a URL in the post content that points towards a linked post, Summit leads to Page Not Found.

Post to test here. Tapping on the link roadmap for lemmy-ui-next in the post leads to Page Not Found.

I'm going back to implementing more user requests.
