The fact that Jerboa makes me click an Imgur link rather than embedding the Imgur content under this post when I click it feels like a possible area for improvement.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Jerboa could definitely benefit from an in-app browser so images and links don't push to other apps.

Ha! I was confused for a moment until I realized the same thing.
It even opened in my reddit app by default lol
Yea this would absolutely be awesome. Definitely one of the top requests for me.

It would be really nice if the app could keep its scroll position more reliably. It always refreshes if I switch to e.g. messages or open my foldable.

looks amazing!
I think it looks great. Can't wait to see it evolve.
One issue I'm having is images in comments aren't showing up.
I'm seeing the same, not sure if it's all images in comments or just that one
Looks awesome, but please add a separate setting to set the font size of the front page and the posts/comments.
The way it works currently, front page font becomes too small when changed in settings.
I like it! Looks like a huge improvement. Are there any plans for a compact mode?
What do you mean by compact mode? You can change the post layout in the settings, if that's what you mean.
Holy shit, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm big dumb
I think it looks pretty nice, I think adding the ability to jump to the context of a reply to a comment would be pretty cool as well.
Like seeing the little notification for it in your messages and being able to tap on it to bring you to the context would be nice. I got pretty used to it in BaconReader.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it in the next update.
Absolutely love it. Progress is happening so fast! Before long this is going to be a world class app!
And it's progress we can hold on to forever. It's not going to arbitrarily stop working some day.
Yeah that looks great!
Now that looks niiiice
Since you are asking, here's my primary 2 complaints about the UI so far that so far seem unaddressed:
- not having placeholders for community icons and user avatars is jarring. This pushes the text around which makes each card slightly missaligned with the last depending on if there are icons/avatars. This gets tiring to read. It doesn't need to be fancy. It could be a black box, or even just padding.
- in the same vein, it's hard to see what post/comment link is in what instance. This is especially important because different moderation rules apply to different instances. Also, celebrate the diversity of federation!
How about each community having its own theming?
I was thinking about the placeholder icon thing for a while, it's a big pet peeve of mine too but I'm not sure what to put instead.

It looks great, thank you very much for your work!
If you're looking for inspiration on UI design, you might check out Sync for Reddit while it's still active. It's one of the best apps I've ever used.

Looks good!
Looks good, you're doing great? Where should we submit additional feature/UX suggestions?

Yes, please! This looks amazing!
Will you make a PR? I see all this concepts here, but imaging something is not as easy as actually implementing it. Hope, Jerboa's dev team will grow with current reddit user influx.
This is fully implemented and I'm working on cleaning up the git history to make a PR
That's great, thank you! Went to jerboa gh repo yesterday to check out stats and was pleased to see good spike on commit count just after reddit situation began.
@meisme@lemmy.ml will kbin support ever be considered? I'd love to use something like jerboa with it.
I'm focusing more on UI but I'll see if that's possible to implement
It would be nice to have the app highlight new comments when you come back to the post, like in Boost
Can you make an issue on github? This is something we should definitely implement.

Looks nice! I like the existing version so far. Will you add swipe gestures for navigation and upvoting/downvoting comments?
I love it so far on my phone.
The only thing I'm missing from RIF and relay is two pane landscape mode with the post feed on one side and the content of a selected post on the other for the tablet, but really great job so far!
Same here. I'm used to that layout with Bacon Reader.
I just want to thank you for putting in the work.
Looks nice but I usually use the list view!
I'm sure it will be an option. It already is currently so you should be good 👍
Great work! One suggestion: I think the bookmark icon on Jerboa should probably be changed to match the star icon on the lemmy instance website.
Preferably I would like the opposite (the star to change to a bookmark), but either way I think it should probably match.
Any news on when this might be rolled out?
