What do you guys think?
- bionicjoey ( @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca ) 51•1 year ago
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.
- Mcbinary ( @McBinary@midwest.social ) 12•1 year ago
Jerboa could definitely benefit from an in-app browser so images and links don’t push to other apps.
- SterlingVapor ( @SterlingVapor@lemmy.world ) 4•1 year ago
Seconded.
- Celediel ( @Celediel@slrpnk.net ) 9•1 year ago
In the meantime, you could use ImgurViewer. Setting it as a default app makes it work pretty seamlessly.
edit: didn’t realise I’d linked the Spanish page, oops lol
- techgearwhips ( @techgearwhips@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Thank you so much for this!
- Dream_state ( @Dream_state@lemmy.world ) 1•1 year ago
Thanks I’ma suss
- Trabic ( @Trabic@lemmy.one ) 1•1 year ago
Thanks for the tip, this works great for me!
- Celediel ( @Celediel@slrpnk.net ) 1•1 year ago
Glad to be able to help!
- carlyman ( @carlyman@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 year ago
Ha! I was confused for a moment until I realized the same thing.
- Mog_fanatic ( @Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world ) 3•1 year ago
Yea this would absolutely be awesome. Definitely one of the top requests for me.
- dannoffs ( @dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•1 year ago
It even opened in my reddit app by default lol
- morrowind ( @morrowind@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•1 year ago
They just added a native image viewer, I imagine this is not too far away.
- Malta Soron ( @maltasoron@sopuli.xyz ) 22•1 year ago
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.
- zalack ( @zalack@lemmy.ml ) 14•1 year ago
Relay also has excellent UI. I tried pretty much every Reddit app available on Android and kept coming back to Relay.
- cfc25 ( @cfc25@lemmy.one ) 9•1 year ago
+1 for Relay. Great UX
- ToastyWaffle ( @ToastyWaffles@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 year ago
The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the ‘read’ posts was awesome for browsing
- Mcbinary ( @McBinary@midwest.social ) 1•1 year ago
Swiping up to close the link and swiping right to go back to the feed was a game changer. I’m finding Jerboa hard to use without it. :(
- Repulsa ( @Repulsa@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Yup only Reddit app I’ve consistently used for years. None of the others were quite the same
- Mcbinary ( @McBinary@midwest.social ) 1•1 year ago
Relay was the only app I could use consistently. I tried all the others. There is a Reddit API proxy that someone was creating for Lemmy that has been linked to /u/DBrady - hopefully he uses it to port his app here too.
- AfricanExpansionist ( @AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml ) 21•1 year ago
Someone’s been looking at Sync for Reddit to get some good ideas 😁
This is how I will end up staying at Lemmy
- MattyXarope ( @MattyXarope@lemmy.world ) 11•1 year ago
The creator of sync said that he’s considering adapting the app to use Lemmy. Fingers crossed.
- Rick ( @Rick@lemmy.world ) 2•1 year ago
That would be huge for lemmy if the 3rd party reddit apps tried to adapt to lemmy.
- isdfoa ( @isdfoa@lemmy.world ) 1•1 year ago
i’m sure that will be a monumental task but here’s to hoping!
- TurtleTourParty ( @TurtleTourParty@midwest.social ) 4•1 year ago
I’m going to miss sync. I bought pro in January of 2014.
- Papamousse ( @Frederic@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
I have bought and used Sync for 9 years, always using the compact mode view, and yes Jerboa kinda fell like it :)
- XLRV ( @XLRV@lemmy.ml ) 21•1 year ago
It would be nice to have the app highlight new comments when you come back to the post, like in Boost
- kevin ( @kevin@beehaw.org ) 14•1 year ago
Can you make an issue on github? This is something we should definitely implement.
- XLRV ( @XLRV@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
Done 👍
- SkyNTP ( @SkyNTP@lemmy.ml ) 20•1 year ago
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!
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.
- Dream_state ( @Dream_state@lemmy.world ) 2•1 year ago
We talking about for users or communities? I think a Lemmy mouse or a jerboa would do the trick for now
- Amir ( @amir_s89@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year ago
How about each community having its own theming?
- Sponholz ( @Sponholz@lemmy.ml ) 18•1 year ago
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.
- SanguinePar ( @sanguinepar@lemmy.world ) 17•1 year ago
Just a note to say thanks for your hard work on making Jerboa, really enjoying using it.
- Wenchette ( @Wenchette@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year ago
I don’t think I’d be able to figure out Lemmy without it
- larktreblig ( @larktreblig@lemmy.ml ) 17•1 year ago
Thanks for the update, can we get a feature to change default setting for home page like “Hot” instead of “Active” and “All” instead of “Local”?
- Sneezycat ( @sneezycat@sopuli.xyz ) 6•1 year ago
You can already do that! Go into settings, your profile settings, and there are options there for default sorting :)
Edit: huh nvm, it seems like I’m able to see them from Jerboa but can only change em from the webpage.
- mrmanager ( @mrmanager@lemmy.today ) 2•1 year ago
Yeah have to change them on the instance and then it becomes like that in the app I believe.
- Dan ( @Dan@feddit.nl ) 1•1 year ago
- devien ( @devien@programming.dev ) 16•1 year ago
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.
- asexualchangeling ( @asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 year ago
This along with keeping track when I collapse a conversation
- Slayer 🦊 ( @MavTheHack@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 16•1 year ago
Now that’s sexy. Made me forget about the porn subreddits that I left behind
- teruma ( @teruma@beehaw.org ) 15•1 year ago
IDK if this is possible, but can the downvote button be removed or hidden if I’m part of a community that disables downvotes? I’m afraid that every time I misclick it the admins are gonna boot me for being a negative nancy.
- Bye-bye arch pc ( @arch_linux_user@lemmy.ca ) 10•1 year ago
This was fixed in this PR: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/390, it should be available in the next app update
- Ghast ( @Ghast@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
I think that setting works on a per instance basis. No need to worry.
- teruma ( @teruma@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
I get a warning everytime I accidentally downvote, even on posts on instances that aren’t my home instance.
- pathief ( @pathief@lemmy.world ) 13•1 year ago
The fact you can use Android password manager is already a huge improvement.
- Macallan ( @Macallan@lemmy.ml ) 13•1 year ago
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.
- Landrin201 ( @Landrin201@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 year ago
I’m seeing the same, not sure if it’s all images in comments or just that one
- williamallenbro ( @williamallenbro@beehaw.org ) 13•1 year ago
I just want to thank you for putting in the work.
- Gormadt ( @Gormadt@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year ago
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.
Edit: I also think making federated (I think that’s the term) links work when tapped in comments would be cool as well.
Like tapping a /c/chat@beehaw.org link would just jump over instead of opening a browser window would be cool.
- Dream_state ( @Dream_state@lemmy.world ) 3•1 year ago
Yes! Sometimes I need to know the context of the thread or the post
