I’m going to join the gang of dark mode is too dark.
I see that it splits the comments in half, so maybe if it is possible to add a grey mode that looks like the old dark mode, both sides could be happy.
I use dark mode as much as possible, but this dark mode is migraine inducing to me due to the white on black colorscheme.We’ll add back the grey mode
Yay! I picked Liftoff because it was so much better looking than all those other harsh black apps. This is very happy news to wake up to 🥳
Awesome! Thank you. <3
will there be a fix for the sorting in our profiles not working? if you click sort by new, it does nothing :/
p.s: thanks for adding the save post button back in 0.10.9 - saving post works great now.
Please allow users to choose, I really like the current dark theme. Maybe allow users to change all the colors, not just the accent?
Great update, but I am not a fan of swipe actions. Could you add an option to disable the feature? Maybe I’m blind and just stupid but I could not find this option in this release.
Is there a way to disable swipe-gestures? They do look nice but I constantly save or upvote random posts or comments just by scrolling and fat-fingering
Contrast feels a lot nicer, thanks for the update!
I wish there was some spacing in-between posts though. It feels like they blend in together a little.
Edit: turning off card shadow in compact mode helps a lot
Yeah turning off shadow is great. I should have updated the default. Light mode needs the shadows
This is awesome, you’re getting on so fast!
One thought - I wonder if dark mode is a little too dark, could maybe do with being slightly grey/blue and have post shadows off by default (but on in light mode). Love the green dividers in amold mode!
Best Lemmy app by far!
Howdy! I like the app a lot, and I wanted to see if I could help! When I set the app to Welsh, most of the words are indeed not Welsh. I am still learning Welsh but I’d like to help translate the app if possible.
However, the Weblate instance you have linked on Github confuses me, I can’t sign up (edit: 405 error) and I am unable to find the directory containing Liftoff, it just redirects back to the parent directory.
Thanks for your hard work!
Bore da, we no longer support that weblate setup, so we do need to update that page.
In the meantime, if you want to get an idea of the task ahead of you, have a look at this file. Each piece of text starting >>> indicates a missing Welsh translation. As you can see, there’s a lot to do there. If you’re involved in any Welsh-speaking communities it might be a nice shared activity that could spark some interesting discussion.
If this suddenly seems very daunting, don’t worry, we will get there eventually.
Diolch!
Hwyl, mykl, bore da iawn!
Thanks for the link. It is a lot but I am excited to practice. It would probably take me a while between work and university, but I anticipate the update. Let me know when Webulate is updated.
I don’t have any suggestions and I had no complaints before. I really like this version and I can only see improvements.
Thanks for all you’ve done.
Personal preference I guess but I preferred the greyer UI. I find the text easier to read on a lighter background. Be cool to have an option to change the background colours as well.
Appreciate the update, but the central drop down for feed choice now having been moved to one side, feels really unbalanced…& detracts from the app origins…Much preferred the central positioning of all the prior versions…
I think it’s better on the side. I feel more at peace with it
I prefer it on the side.
Great update. Love the swipe actions.
They’re kinda fun! Just been figuring them out to upvote you!
I just want to thank you, I always liked Lemmur more than any alternative and missed it. I am happy to see the project brought back to life.
Some Suggestions: When tapping on the notification of a reply it should go to the comment not collapse the comment. The ‘link’ target used at the moment isn’t obvious and the icon is too small. Please could there be a toggle to disable swipe. I find it much quicker without swiping and often get accidental swipes. Dark mode is not ideal Edit: Also just noticed that when you upvote/downvote it seems to work but when you scroll away the vote disappears
Love the swipe actions! This might already be planned, but one thing I’ve seen with other Apps is haptic feedback during swipe, as you go from no action to action #1 to action #2.
Keep up the great updates!
Nice work on the app, really liking it so far. Is it possible to do a universal search? I only seem to be able to search in the instance my account is it.
Ah it finally rolled out to me, I love the swipe gestures! Only additional requests with swipes is to be able to customize the actions, have haptic feedback, and toggle on/off.
I’d love to be able to short swipe to upvote + long swipe to downvote. I had it set up that way on Apollo for years and it would be such a big QOL thing for me lol. (example)
Some misc things:
- highlighted text shows cut/copy/paste but not replace, look up, translate, etc. (screenshots)
- text replacement is still wonky (screenshots)
- setting for text size throughout the entire app instead of just on posts/comments (example)
- tap very top of screen to scroll to top (edit: it works on the home feed but all pages)
I appreciate all the time + hard work everybody is putting into this :)
