You're a fucking legend, thank you so much :D

[-] rimu@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

Congratulations, I'll take it for a spin.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Should be fully released now!

Trying to login to piefed.social, gives me Client Error. Code: 400: Message: incorrect_login. Im sure its correct because I logged in on the web app to write this comment with the same info

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just tested signing into both piefed.world and piefed.social with two different accounts, different usernames and passwords and both worked. Can you triple check to verify?

update I signed up for another account on piefed.social just to triple check and I was able to sign into that one too.

Update 2 tried signing in with user name and also with email separately and confirmed both work.

[-] Strike3445@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I made a new account and it worked. So I can only assume it was an issue with this account, maybe because of its 128 character password? I only used 60 characters for the new one. Im not sure.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Ah yeah, the password length was the issue. Summit truncates to 60 characters because it was a limit for Lemmy apparently. I'll can do a dot release in a bit.

[-] Strike3445@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I ran into the same problem with my lemmy account months ago, not being able to log in there too without a reset. Should stop using 128 as a default lol. Thanks for being on top of it.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I can test with a 128 char password in a bit.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you !

[-] Sheltr@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Yay! I'm so glad to be back. Moved to piefed when lemm.ee went down. Feels like I'm home again 😀

[-] Aielman15@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That was awfully quick. Do you even sleep at all?

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

8 hours every day :D. But Imy sleep schedule is really messed up. 😅

[-] DoubleBarrelPinkEye@piefed.zip 1 points 2 months ago

My "All subscribed" feed contain posts from several non-subscribed communities when logged into piefed.zip.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

There seems to be an issue with the mobile API at the moment: https://piefed.zip/post/223804

[-] DoubleBarrelPinkEye@piefed.zip 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yep, that sounds exactly like what I'm seeing.

On another note, reading your reply in the Summit inbox and tapping on "go to post" in the context section results in the following error:

Client error. Code: 400. Message: missing parameters for post.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Will fix in a patch update.

The cause for this one is PieFed doesn't behave like Lemmy. For the Lemmy API, you can navigate to a post using comment ID alone. PieFed requires a post id and a comment id.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Seems like at least the first issue has been fixed 20 minutes ago: https://piefed.zip/post/223804#comment_512392

[-] DoubleBarrelPinkEye@piefed.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Editing comments after posting doesn't seem to work. Comment box flashes but still shows the original comment.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Urg. I blame PieFed for this one. The API documentation clearly says that Posts and Comment objects have a field named updated but the server actually returns it as edited_at. This value is used by the client to determine if a post/comment needs to be re-rendered.

Update Will fix in a patch update.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This could be huge, especially for getting people off Reddit and onto the Threadiverse. It's unfortunate that Lemmy has the political baggage it does, but here we are. So if people are recommending Piefed instead and they now also have a super polished app to suggest, I can see that being a very positive factor.

[-] almost1337@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I updated earlier today and haven't been able to use lemmy.zip at all - just gives network error.

[-] Teknevra@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I wanted to suggest a small UI/UX tweak that might help streamline the posting experience.

Currently, when creating a post, Summit displays a horizontal formatting bar above the keyboard with options like:

Italic

Bold

Numbered List

Spoiler Text

Text Emojis

Add Link

Add Image

(etc.)

While this is functional, having to swipe through the bar to find the desired option can feel a bit clunky, especially on smaller screens or when you're quickly trying to format something.

My Suggestion:

Instead of a swipeable bar, what if there was a single expandable button above the keyboard? When tapped, it could expand into a radial menu (or option wheel). The most commonly used options (like Bold, Italic, Image, etc.) could be placed in the center circle, with the rest arranged around it in an outer ring. Think of it as a compact, gesture-friendly hub for quick formatting.

This could:

Reduce screen clutter

Speed up post composition

Be more visually intuitive for users already familiar with similar UIs in mobile games or design apps

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The app currently offers a way to reorder the list of formatting options as a solution for this problem. I think most screens, even the smallest ones, can easily fit 7 different formatting options. If you want easier access to formatting tools you use often you can reorder the tools so tools you often use are at the front of the list. If there is any particular reason you cannot do this or if there is a different use case let me know.
