Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration? (startrek.website)

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!

I second the demand for a decrease of swipe sensitivity

More like a humble request ;)

Thirded!

I had to turn it off because I was accidentally upvoting almost every time I had to scroll. It would be a great feature if the sensitivty would be adjusted, or if there was a setting to do it yourself!

Its off by default now in 0.0.61

I was just glad I could disable it completely. Totally unneeded for me and was causing frustrations more then anything.

[-] grillgamesh0028@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Yeh lol

I made a post ranting about this a few days ago, then found the setting l Literally made the thing usable again

The swipe gesture feature uses a new experimental component. As far as I am aware we can't configure the sensitivity. We have decided to have it off by default. We also fixed the swipe direction not being aligned with the description.

Ah, got it. You guys are doing a kickass job, thank you!

I just installed Jerboa today, and have it running concurrently with Voyager (my goto Lemmy client for about a year), and so far, I like Jerboa MUCH more in terms of UX. I'm going to be running both for a couple of weeks to see which one I'll keep at the end, but being a fan of all things gesture (except typing),Jerboa certainly has the edge right now. Thank you devs, awesome little client.

Thx! I also really like voyager too.

I don't use any of these features, but I am liking the latest updates. They are even more stable, and the problem I had where posts would just stop loading once I scrolled far has been fixed.

[-] Norodix@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I like that it is optional. Would be even better if it was adjustable.

I have everything disabled except swipe to back
