[2025] Roadmap (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

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  • Extremely out of date version check?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 if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)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.
  • Make the "actions bar" in the post list configurable.
  • Take screenshot from post feed.
  • Suggest/show previously created tags in tagging dialog.
  • More video player settings: hide ui elements when play selected, tap anywhere to play/pause video.
  • 3rd option instead of always hiding or always showing avatars: show avatar if set.
  • Adjust spacing between posts in posts feed.
  • Add setting to make it so that tapping the thumbnail image in list layouts will open the link instead of loading the post below it.
  • Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
  • Filter posts based on domain of URL.
  • Reselect "Search" in bottom bar to focus on search bar.
  • Setting to inline images only in DMs.
  • Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
  • Support viewing crossposts of a post.
  • Add setting to change the gravity of navigation rail buttons. Eg. top, center or bottom.
  • Add some font size choices between normal and small.
  • update community info screen UI
  • surface the create community button in more places (reddit app surfaces this option in the side panel)
  • improve the create community screen
  • improve how deleted posts are handled - https://lemmy.world/post/27293304
  • Add a section to the side panel for moderated communities.
  • Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
  • Improve moderation tools - https://lemmy.world/post/27333742
  • Add thumbnail url field to post screen
  • Allow choosing a language for posts/comment
  • Add screen to view all uploaded content
  • Add option to loop videos
  • Add option to unblur NSFW images when in NSFW communities
  • Add setting to show bottom bar on post screen
  • Add custom layout setting fkr 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 a setting to make op of a post easier to spot
  • Add setting to auto focus search bar when search screen selected.
  • add option to import communities from Reddit
  • add setting to separate recent communities, bookmarks and history by account.

Stretch features (nice to have but I need to do more research)

  • Possible integration with mastodon/? (needs research)
  • Support Mbin? Piefed?
  • Sync between devices?
  • Turn chat in Summit into a "first class" feature.

Completed

  • Add haptic feedback to some actions such as voting and posting/commenting
  • Do not retry on send comment/post errors. Offer a way to retry sending a comment/post.
  • Add a setting to disable/enable parsing 4 numbers separated by dots as ip addresses. This is currently always enabled in the app.
  • Full content layout but with cards.
  • Add an optional "header" design to the community feed. Make the header configurable.
  • Add a setting to change the behavior of long pressing ... button in the post screen.
  • Feature to allow user to swipe to go to next post.
  • Add setting to enable/disable text in bottom nav.
  • Support opening instance links in-app. Eg. https://ttrpg.network/
  • Add setting to show a label for accounts that are new.
  • Allow gestures to work in both directions.
  • Make defaults for videos configurable. Eg. Default volume in the post feed.
  • Share button in the community info screen.
  • Add setting to choose default browser.
  • Add something in the settings that instructs the user on how to change the app language.

Haptic feedback FTW! 😁

Hey, kbin is dead, maybe mbin? Also, there is no easy way to move between feeds for now (that I know of). So maybe a swipe or something like it, would be nice to have

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

For subscribed/bookmarked feeds, you can swipe right to open your list of feeds and then tap on any of them to switch. However this option only exists for feeds that are subscribed or bookmarked. Does this option work well for you? If not could you please provide some more context on your use case/how you usually use the app? This would help me think of solutions for it. Thank you!

Oh, I think I wasn't clear. I meant the "all/local/subscribed" feeds

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

Oh actually the app doesn't treat these feeds as anything special. You can bookmark them as you'd like and they will appear in the left pane. This is done on purpose so users can bookmark what they like to use so it's easier to access for them while still giving all users the choice to also not bookmark them if they don't use them.

For instance:

How do I bookmark it? 😅

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Open the feed you want to bookmark. Then tap the 3 dots button to open the menu and tap bookmark.

Can we also have live results in search? (Search while typing automatically)

Support kbin?

I just want to note that Kbin is abandoned, it has been forked into Mbin more than a year ago (And Mbin is still actively developed to this day), as a Mbin user I would love more apps to support it, because right now there's only one app, so the choice is very limited. (And I think Summit looks very cool)

Relevant docs - https://docs.joinmbin.org/

Thank you for your feedback. The stretch features were picked a long time ago. I can update it to Mbin however given how much work there is still planned for the app I'm not sure when this would get done.
