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.
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
I’m using it on a Linux laptop. The swipe gestures on a multi-point touchpad is simply the most intuitive and user friendly navigation I’ve experienced natively from any Linux application ever.
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.
Please add a way to disable swipe actions. I’ve been bouncing between 4 different apps, and I thought Liftoff already had them and I disabled them, but they came back overnight, but I guess you’re saying they’re new. Please add a way to disable them. I really don’t like them. I trigger them all the time by accident, randomly voting on or saving things.
I just discovered Liftoff today, and I like its minimalistic design. However I noticed that some random NSFW images in my timeline won’t load, as you can see in the screenshot. These posts display fine in other apps. Maybe this is something you could look into.
Otherwise, keep up the great work!
Edit: display NSFW setting is on of course.
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!
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.
Hi @liftoff@lemmy.world, cool app!
3 questions:
-
In notifications there’s really no need to collapse those comments, could you make it that tapping it would go straight to the comment you’re notified about (instead of trying to aim at the little link icon) and would mark that notification as read (instead of trying to aim at the little tick icon)?
-
Will there be push notifications?
-
When searching via website I get to search throughout many instances and in the app I must select one, either lemmy.world or one I’m on. Also sometimes I can’t subscribe to other instaces’ communities because it wants me to log in so I need to use browser instead. I imagine handling all this federation is not an easy task, you think it will be possible to adress it? It must be the hardest thing to code in the entire app, isn’t it?
-
I have an issue with adding my account from lemmy.world. It accepts it, but after a couple of hours it will not fetch any posts from lemmy.world anymore. It still works great with my other account on another instance, but my lemmy.world-account will not.
To be fair: I had the same issue with Jerboa, so I don’t know if it is the app or lemmy,world. The website works fine though…
I used to be a RedReader person and I know RedReader is getting Lemmy support eventually, but with how this app is coming along, I might stay indefinitely.
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.
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 :)
Great update. Love the swipe actions.
They’re kinda fun! Just been figuring them out to upvote you!
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!
