Hi, past couple days have seen a influx of new users so welcome everybody! This release is aimed at improving customization options and some requested improvements. The secondary buttons on post cards can now be customized, added a 'Hide above' option which will hide all posts above the selected post, and the upvote colour can now be customized (also applies to the new comment counter and swipe action background on upvote tiles).

Changes

  • Upvote colour can now be customized
  • Fixed a bug with the subscribe button not being in the correct state within About Community
  • & symbol now renders correctly on posts and comments
  • global setting moved up within the Settings page to make it more obvious
  • filter terms now accept regex (should start and end with a "/" eg /foo/)
  • spoiler tags should now work for multi-line spoilers
  • Added a toggle to display comment debug information (shows id, children count, hot rank, upvotes, downvotes - probably only useful for debugging).
  • Fixed an issue where 'View More' is showing when it shouldn't be

What would you like to see next: Tablet UI or more granular theme customizations?

I'm amazed how light weight this app is. The quality is here, it's basic and it doesn't take huge space.

A well done app!

I was thinking about being able to comment with one of the other logged account.

While browsing with one of my multiple accounts, I comment and can choose to post with another one.

I don't know how this is possible and if I was clear.

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I think you could do that with Boost for Reddit, but I can't go check because fuck reddit for breaking my favorite app. Anyway, based on that it may be possible but also Lemmy works entirely differently so... Maybe

Thanks for all your hard work! Can't believe how great Connect is in such a short period of time.

Whenever you have time, could you implement saving your place in the comments when coming back to a post. Sometimes I exit a post by accident and when I go back in its takes me all the way to the top.

[-] President@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

+1 for that feature.
Thank you devs for doing all the hardworks for this project<3

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Upvote colour can now be customized.

Woohoo! This looks so good now, thank you Kuro!

[-] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'd just like a quick toggle matching theme for Lemmy vote colors in general (blue up/red down).

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I hear ya. Do you mean like a universal scheme?

I personally think light blue and grey are good for up and down, respectively.

Slightly off topic, but related: should I be seeing   in your user name?

@kuro thank you so much for making such a great app!

Feature request: Hide annoying emoji display names (show usernames)

[-] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but 'show instance tags in names' will show the real usernames and not display names.

[-] cc8@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, it works! The setting is a bit confusing though, I didn't understand what the setting does until you explained it.

[-] President@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

But still shows the display name (if a user has one) before the instance tag though. What OP meant I guess was just showing the original username (even the user has set a display name)

[-] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I feel personally attacked. 😂

[-] anticommon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Connect is a great app, support this dev!

[-] anowhere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

My vote for next changes would be to have granular theme customizations (choosing specific color to apply to specific screen elements), AND the ability to export / import themes and settings. Tablet UI features would also be nice (e.g., landscape mode for posts | comments in side-by-side panels).

[-] Katiria24@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I'd like to see a way to scroll to the top on a single button press. If there's one then I'm blind lol

Allowing us to customize the comments more would be nice. Like I don't want the top level comment to collapse when clicked, just its replies. Also it would be nice if the left padding on the comments was reducible and the colour bar could be made thicker.

[-] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is there a way to edit your profile from within Connect? Like updating display name and bio, or uploading a new avatar or banner? I feel like there's been a handful of things I didn't think Connect could do, but found out later that I was just overlooking it or didn't recognize it in the settings.

Another random question - the area in the pop out panel on the left where your username/avatar is displayed at the top (it's blue for me). Should that be showing my user banner? If not, can that be a thing?

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hate to sound like I'm begging for features and don't want to do a whole separate post, but is there any chance for an "auto-hide child comments" option in the future that collapses replies to top level comments until opened by the user?
It's the only feature I really miss from RiF and RES.

Other than that everything seems to be working great and this is my favorite Lemmy app so keep up the great work!

You're a legend

[-] 48954246@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome app. Reminds me most of baconreader

Not sure where to raise this but I'm getting a bug where posts will toggle between read and unread when opening comments from list mode

[-] RadButNotAChad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Tablet UI please with columns!

[-] ActualShark@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you for all your hard work!

Auto collapse comments would be cool

[-] Finkler@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update. Yay the page numbers are not showing.

[-] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Looks great, thanks for the hard work!

Additional theming would be nice. Personally, I would like the option to move the upvote/downvote arrows and points count to the left of the post in list mode.

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Love your app, only thing that bugs me is the inanity to have more than one account configured. Try to add a second and you can't go back to the first without signing out of everything and starting over.

[-] OverfedRaccoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Can you explain further? I'm not the dev or affiliated, but I have two accounts on different instances signed in, and I can toggle between them without issue. I just recently also got settings to configure per account rather than app wide. I might be able to help?

Option to make comment icon do same as comment number would be great.

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Hide Above is a pretty sick idea, and solves a problem I didn't realize I've been encountering for years on Reddit clients. I hate scrolling up to hide stuff I just saw.

[-] Grandsinge@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Love the app. Clean and usable. Can't ask for much else. Great job!
