Welcome to v1.65.

This release brings some general polish to the app, rounding out some rough edges and aims to improve the overall user experience.

The major change included in this update is a fully fledged save/restore system for post feeds. This system works under the hood so you shouldn't notice any changes to the app. This system aims to make leaving and returning to the app a more predictable experience. You should no longer lose your place in the post feed.

If you preferred the old experience, this new save & restore system can be disabled in Settings > Post feed.

There are a lot of other minor improves too such as improved error handling and text editing. See the change log for more details.

Last but not least, I am going to start gauging interest for PieFed support starting from this release. If you want Summit to support PieFed please upvote this post: https://lemmy.world/post/31899935 .

Full changelog

• Save and restore post feeds on app recreation. This should make the app behave in a more predicable way. Eg. if you leave the app for extended period and come back, the app should now preserve exactly where you were before you left. No more losing your spot!
• Add setting to toggle save/restore post feeds on app recreation.
• Improve error messages.
• Manually add a workaround to get img.gvid.tv links to work in the app.
• Fix issue where some images won't load.
• Fix issue where user profile screen doesn't change when current account changed.
• Fix issue where "save post" button state doesn't reflect actual state of whether the post has been saved or not in certain cases. Eg. if the post is saved, the save post button should be filled.
• Fix navigation rail bugs when the navigation rail is on but large screen support is off.
• Fix a bug where comment timestamps do not update on refresh.
• Improve some of the text editor functions. Eg. better insert link logic, better quote, bullet list and numbered list logic.

Update

I am sick. Nothing serious. It just means thing will happen slower until i get better.

This is an atypical release. This release doesn't add any new features. Instead, it is a "maintenance" release to make the app more maintainable going forwards.

This release overhauls two areas of the app: the settings UI and how the navigation bar is handled. It's one of those changes where if the change was performed perfectly, users should not notice any differences.

The settings UI code did not scale well with the number of settings that were being added to the app. With the new code, it should be much easier for me to add UI for new settings without breaking existing settings UI. It should also address minor bugs such as some settings not being searchable.

The navigation bar code has been extremely complicated for a while without needing to be. My original plans for the app was to have the navigation bar weave in and out between screens often. However, the app doesn't actually do this often and the logic could be greatly simplified. This should reduce bugs related to it.

Full changelog

• All settings should be searchabled now.
• When a setting result is tapped in the setting search screen, the page will automatically scroll to the setting and highlight it.

Update

Releasing as v1.61.1 because I jumped the gun and did not perform all of the release tasks prior to releasing on github.

Update 2

Found some bugs on tablets. Will do a patch release with the following changes:

• Change reselect “Search” in bottom bar to expand search.
• Add setting to change the gravity of the navigation rail menu buttons.
• Fix a bug where the navigation rail will disappear in certain cases.
• Fix a bug where the navigation rail will not hide properly.

Update 3

Found a bug where the app was not respecting the "lock nav bar" setting. Will release a fix as v1.61.3.

The roadmap has become very very long and filled with user requests. This release tries to reduce the list of user requests. The final goal is to reduce the list of user requests to a more manageable length. I will be prioritizing easy to implement and high impact changes to shorten the list of user requests faster.

Full changelog

• Add setting to customize quick actions in post feed.
• Add recently used tags to create/edit tag dialog.
• Add setting to control whether video player UI should hide on play.
• Add setting to control whether tapping anywhere on the video player should play/pause
• Add setting to hide avatars for users without an avatar.
• Add setting to control the amount of margin between cards in the post feed.
• Add setting to change the behavior of tapping on thumbnails in the post feed to launch the content instead. This behavior is similar to web.
• Add support for "Controversial" sort order for comments.
• Update Patreon supporters list.
• Improved error handling for videos.
• More optimizations.
• Fix a bug where instance is case-sensitive.
• Fix a bug where tapping a notification does not open the app.
• Fix a bug where opening the app via a notification will clear the subscribed community list locally.
• Fix a bug where viewing an image in fullscreen mode might result in a no image being shown.

Update

Going to be on a business trip for the next week. Might be slow to respond, etc. Also I'm still working through a backlog of messages to look through from the break from earlier.

Update 2

Fix a bad crash. Releasing as v1.60.1. This release also tests a new settings system under the hood. It's only deployed for the theme settings for now to reduce risk. If no one reports any issues I will roll out this new system to all settings. Note: a successful rollout of the new settings system would mean no one would notice any differences between the old and new system.

• Fix a crash when viewing the post appearance settings for certain layouts.

Changes so far:

• Fix more issues with cards with clipped shadows.
• Fix a bug where the home item in the side panel displays the wrong home feed.
• Fix a bug where an instance mismatch message is shown even if there is no mismatch.
• Fix a bug where the left pane sometimes interferes with the options bar in the post feed header if the options bar can be scrolled.
• Rename the mod action "Feature comment" to "Mark important"
• Fix a bug where opening a link if the app is not open will not open the link correctly.
• Minor improvements to server error messages.
• Fix a bug where tapping on the comments count on the "You" screen does not show the comments for the current account.
• Fix a bug where tapping the current selected item in the navigation bar will break navigation, causing some subtle bugs.
• Fix a bug where the lock icon for locked posts is clipped.

Update

Update here since it's been 2 weeks since the last update. I'm still busy working on the next release. It's just taking longer than expected due to the complexity of the feature I'm adding.

Welcome to the v1.57.0 release. This release is focused on addressing the rest of the user requests.

There's a lot in this release so read through the changelog to see everything that has been added. Some highlights include adding auto-loading posts when "swipe between posts" is enabled, a new setting that allows you to change the app locale from within the app on any version of Android and some changes to make it easier to identify if an user is new to Lemmy.

This release also marks the start of some major changes to the app that I've been considering almost a full year ago.

One of Summit's strength is the insane number of customizations available to a user. However this also poses a downside as new users may not want to spend hours checking and tweaking every setting. While Summit tries to make sure the default settings are pretty good, it's obvious that the out-of-the-box settings are not for everyone.

The ideal middle ground is to offer a list of sane defaults, not just one. That way new users can setup the app to their liking while taking only seconds. This is what the next big feature will be aiming to solve.

I'll provide more details regarding what these specific changes are over the next few releases. As always if you have any questions or suggestions please let me know in the comments.

Full changelog

• Add a setting to choose the direction of swipe gestures. By default this is left-to-right.
• Add a setting to change the default volume of the inline video player
• Add an option to share a community/instance in the community/instance screen.
• Add a setting to choose default app to open URLs with. By default Summit will open URLs within the app however setting a default browser will override this behavior.
• Add a setting to change the locale of the app.
• Add a setting to control whether community suggestions are shown in the community selector bottom sheet.
• Add a setting to enable/disable full bleed images in the full post view.
• Add an option to the "Take screenshot" screen to share the screenshot instead of saving it.
• Change the formatter for post titles. If a post's title starts with the character '#', it will be escaped. This fixes some edge cases where a post starts with a "hashtag". Eg. "#summitforlemmy is an ok app for lemmy".
• Fix a bug on the create post screen. If the webpage (based on the URL field) of a post does not have a valid title, the title will not be suggested.
• Update the design of the user info screen.
• Fix a bug where the settings page will not respect the app language if one is selected.
• Change the app behavior when handling posts with invalid thumnails. In rare cases the thumnail url and the url of the post are the same but the thumbnail url does not link to an image. Previously this would cause the app to not show the image or the link. This release changes the behavior so that the link will be shown in this case.
• Automatically load more posts when the end of the post feed is reached when "swipe between posts" is enabled.
• Change the default of the setting "Show new user tag" to true. New users (accounts that are less than 30 days of age) will display a yellow tag next to their account name.
• Fix a bug where sharing an image would not show a preview of the image being shared.

Update

Noticed some bugs in the app. One major bug is the inability to change the app base theme. Will push a fix out as v1.57.1.

• Fix a bug where the base theme setting is ignored.
• Fix a bug where some shadows are being clipped.
• Adjust default screenshot width from 500 -> 360 since 500 seemed too wide which produced smaller text when fit on screen.

Update 2

Found a crash so will update the release and release as v1.57.2.

• Fix a crash in rare cases when viewing the default apps settings screen.

Update 3

Rollout complete.

This release is just a long list of incremental changes to the app. You can view the full list of changes below.

Full changelog

• Add setting to enable swipe between posts. Experimental. Low effort implementation. Please let me know if you find any bugs.
• Add "show full context" option when replying to a post.
• Add setting to choose a quick action when the FAB in the post screen is long pressed.
• Add setting to disable shake to send feedback.
• Add setting to disable labels in the navigation bar.
• Add setting to tag accounts that are less than 30 days old.
• Update color picker. New color picker has new styles and a history tab, allowing you to pick a color that was picked before.
• Change the behavior of the button bar below the header of the post feed. If the button bar cannot be fully displayed on screen, it will be scrollable and will take precedence over the left panel open. If the button bar can be fully displayed then the left panel will take precedence.
• Change link preview dialog to detect Lemmy links. If the previewed link is detected to be a Lemmy instance, a button will appear to top the link within Summit.
• Update translations.
• Fix a bug where certain videos links will not load as videos.
• Fix a bug where tag text color cannot be changed.
• Fix a bug where text in the community header/comment header may be cut off.
• Fix a bug in the "add or edit user tag" dialog where changing different fields will wipe the tag name field.
• Fix a memory leak issue.
• Fix a bug where GIFs sometimes freeze.

Update

Some minor changes before the full release:

• Fix NSFW mode not respected when swipe between posts is on.
• Update translations.

Update 2

Discovered a crash. Releasing a fix as v1.56.2:

• Fix a crash when loading posts.
• Add setting to tag accounts that are less than 30 days old.

Update 3

Rollout complete.

Update 4

I released v1.56.3 for GitHub only. This is to address an issue where users reported that they were unable to get the update from Obtainium. v1.56.3 is equivalent to the v1.56.2 release. It is different in name only.

This release updates the haptic feedback in the app, adding more haptic feedback to actions and adjusting some of the haptics that already exist. It also adds a new settings screen specifically for adjusting haptic feedback.

Full changelog

• Added a new settings page dedicated to haptic feedback.
• Added haptics to more actions.
• Adjusted strength of haptic feedback to be inline with Android's guidelines.
• Added a new experimental feature that automatically marks duplicate posts as read. A duplicate post is a post that has been posted to another instance that is essentially the same as a post that has been read. This feature is off by default.
• Fixed a bug where links cannot be opened if the preview link setting is set to "Preview all".
• Fixed a bug where thumbnails sometimes won't load.
• Fixed a bug where the last swipe action on a post is accidentally replayed.

Update

Noticed that not all thumbnail links were fixed. Pushing another release (v1.52.1) to fix even more thumbnails.

Update 2

Pulling in some new translations. Releasing as v1.52.2.

Update 3

Special note for one bug I finally tracked down. There was a period of time where the oddest things would happen when I was in a post where I thought I was losing my mind. I would upvote a comment, return to the post and see that the comment was not upvoted. Or I would post a comment and then after, the comment dialog would popup multiple times. This was extremely confusing as none of the logs indicated anything had even gone wrong. The "ghost votes" would appear in the logs as though I had went back to the comment and removed my vote manually.

After a lot of manual testing, I was finally able to track this issue down and it has to do with how swipe actions work.

When a swipe action is initiated, the app remembers the last swipe action. When you swipe and then let go the app triggers the last swipe action saved. This allows you to drag the swipe action slider as far as you want and as long as you are in the correct region when you let go, the right action will be taken.

The issue is when the action is triggered, it does not clear the last saved action.

This normally wouldn't cause any issues except if you are also using gesture navigation.

A gesture navigation gesture is just a regular swipe except the starting point is near an edge of the screen.

For a back gesture, the user first has to touch the edge of the screen and then swipe inwards. During the first part of the gesture, Android doesn't actually know yet if the action is going to be a back gesture. So at that stage Android will let the app handle the gesture. Only once the finger slides far enough does Android realize it's a back gesture and take ownership of the gesture. At this point Android will cancel the swipe gesture on the app's end so it can handle the gesture gracefully.

When Android tells Summit to cancel the swipe action, Summit was incorrectly assuming it was a valid swipe action because the last swipe action was set. Summit would then trigger that action. The fix is simple. The last swipe action just needs to be cleared whenever a swipe action is triggered.

I will be doing a release since the release contains a lot of QoL improvements so it makes sense to push this out sooner rather than later.

Full changelog

• Updated the behavior of the "go to" context button in the message inbox screen. Tapping the button to go to a comment will now load the post with just the comment chain by default, with the comment highlighted.
• Fixed a bug where tapping the add link button on the community editor will not actually insert a link.
• Changed the behavior of updating a community. The community info screen will auto-refresh if the community is updated.
• Fixed a bug where the colors used for the image viewer were wrong in light theme.

Changes so far:

• Updated the behavior of the "go to" context button in the message inbox screen. Tapping the button to go to a comment will now load the post with just the comment chain by default, with the comment highlighted.
• Fixed a bug where tapping the add link button on the community editor will not actually insert a link.
• Changed the behavior of updating a community. The community info screen will auto-refresh if the community is updated.
• Fixed a bug where the colors used for the image viewer were wrong in light theme.
• Fixed card shadows in some places.

Update

Just realized I mistakenly titled this post "release" when it's WIP. Updated the title.

Will be tracking the roadmap by year going forwards.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
• Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.
• Revisit how settings (specifically Settings search) is implemented

Specific user requests

• Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
• Take screenshot from post feed.
• Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
• Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
• Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
• Add thumbnail url field to post screen
• Add "alt text" field to create post screen.
• Allow choosing a language for posts/comment
• Add screen to view all uploaded content
• Add setting to show bottom bar on post screen
• Add custom layout setting for inbox screen. Specifically to support a "full" layout.
• Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.
• https://lemmy.world/post/27467193
• add option to import communities from Reddit
• add setting to separate recent communities, bookmarks and history by account.
• add setting to set a max height (by px) for full content layouts.
• https://lemmy.world/post/27608794
• several users have brought up the "hide read" filter option. Will need to revisit the best way to do this again.
• update Summit's website to state it's open source.
• allow admin/mods to comment in locked posts.
• comment headers are still cutting off for super long instance names or user names.
• add a setting to match web for marking inbox items as read. Eg. only mark inbox item as read if reply or if check mark is pressed.
• see if there is a way to check which comments were made since the last time you viewed a post and to highlight them somehow (apparently boost does this?). If this isn't possible, add an option to highlight new posts (maybe with an adjustable time range). 15m seems like a good amount of time.
• Set the ‘hide read posts’ option as default on. So when I load the feed I don’t have to hit ellipses then hide read posts again. Make it persist even if I change sorting mode.
• each post in the feed should have a ‘mark as read’ button I can tap easily, when hit post auto hides.
• a button that scrolls down kind of like the scroll to next comment thread functionality, with the up and down buttons, BUT it scrolls the main feed screen by a page at a time.
• maybe surface search within community in more places?
• https://lemmy.world/post/29147076/16862280

• share image URL via unproxied link. Details: https://lemmy.world/post/29634477
• add search options to search by special feeds such as subscribed, local, or moderator view.
• Inline embeds similar to Discord/Slack - https://lemmy.world/post/30227433

Welcome to possibly the last major release of the year! As the end of the year approaches, I am planning on taking a short break from developing Summit in favor of going out more and also catching up on some video games.

This update refreshes the layouts of the various card layouts in the app. It aims to make distinguishing between different cards easier and also improving the general look of things.

This update also fixes various bugs as well.

As this update changes the UI of the app, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the changes. Of course if you have feedback about the UI in any part of the app please feel free to post those too!

This release overhauls the search screen to show subscribed communities and community suggestions based on what is popular or trending at the moment.

Note: Suggestions shown in the search screen will be based on data gathered from Lemmy servers (more precisely they are based off of https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer). They are not from data generated from the client. The app does not track/send data to any servers aside from Lemmy & Firebase (for crash/app stability tracking, you can opt-out in settings).

The backend portion that will drive community suggestions feature is open source. You can view it here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy-server.

I will issue more details regarding how this will all be set up once I'm closer to a release.

Changes so far

• Complete search screen overhaul
• Fixed a bug where disabling Firebase Crashlytics would leave the rest of the Firebase library enabled which can include components such as a logger.
• Fixed a bug where the quote feature did not work as expected when text in the comment box is selected and the quote button is pressed.

This update adds full support for the Android feature Predictive Back. Unfortunately this feature is only supported on newer versions of Android (Android 14 and above) so if you are on an older version of Android you will not notice a difference.

Full changelog

• Fixed a bug where changing accounts will not scroll the account list to the top.
• Added full support for predictive back. Note that this fixes several bugs that are only seen on Android 14.
• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update
