Hello everyone!

Today I'm happy to announce Leomard 0.6! This update brings a handful of new cool features. To start with, you can now save posts as drafts!

Not only that, if Leoamard or your system ever crashes, if you come back to post editing, Leomard will ask you if you want to restore your autosaved post:

Another brand new feature that has been added is the experimental "Store liked posts locally" option. With it, you can browse the post that you have liked, which is not something Lemmy itself allows you to do. Unfortunately, because of that, the posts must be liked through Leomard, or at very least, they must be viewed through it.

Last feature worth mentioning is an option to use Piped.video to watch YouTube videos.

This and much more has been added into Leomard 0.6. Here's the full changelog:

Added

• "Store Liked Posts" in Preferences -> Experiments
  • With this enabled, you can see all the posts you liked in the "Liked" tab in your profile
• Added "Experiments" preferences
• Added saving posts as drafts
  • You can now save posts as drafts, and continue editing them later
  • You can access drafts in the "Drafts" tab in post creation view
• Added post draft autosave, which will be restored if you accidentally close the program or it crashes
  • You can disable it in Preferences -> General -> Autosave post drafts
• Inbox replies now use the new text editor
• "Use Piped.video for YouTube videos" in Preferences -> Content
• In Compact View, posts with videos and link to articles will now show a thumbnail
• Added "Truncate Post Titles" in Preferences -> Display
• Read post titles are now grayed out (can be disabled in Preferences -> Display -> Read Post Indicators -> Gray out post titles)
• Also added "Show checkmark" next to read posts in Preferences -> Display -> Read Post Indicators

Changes

• Preferences: renamed "View Mode" to "Open Posts In"
• Preferences: renamed "Single-Column" to "Popup"
• Preferences: renamed "Two-Column" to "Second Column"
• "Second Column" is now the default view
• Post creation times that are in the future won't dispay "-" at the start anymore
• Compact View setting is now displayed in style of the "Open Posts In" setting
• Feed View optimizations
• Community sidebar description is now hidden, if community is viewed in one-column view

Bug Fixes

• Fixed padding of the post toolbar in Compact View
• Post won't remain open when switching between sessions
• Hiding comment will hide all its children
• Fixed opening posts from Replies, if you had another post open in two-column view
• Fixed app crashing if trying to load subcomments more than 5 replies deep

Hello everyone!

After 9 days since the last major update, today I'm happy to announce Leomard 0.5! This update brings a long requested two-column view. In this view, opened posts are shown to the right side of the screen as so:

It works very good with the Compact View on! If you prefer the traditional popup view, you can still enable it in Preferences, which also received a new "Display" section:

Another new big feature is the brand new text editor. New text editor shows you how your Markdown text is going to look like live as you type it! Additionally, it has a heplful Toolbar at the top, which lets you add text formatting, insert link, image and preview the Markdown!

Lastly, Leomard can now mark posts as reas as you scroll past them in the Feed, without you needing to interact with the text in any way. You can enable it in the settings:

Of course, this update brings a number of different changes, such as viewing community mod logs, hiding communities instances in the Followed list and more. Here's the full list:

Added

• Two-column view
  • Posts will open in the second column, instead of a popup window
  • You can enable it in Preferences -> Display -> Two-column view
• The "!leomard@lemm.ee" in About view now opens the community in Leomard
• Add "v" symbol to the right of comment, that doubles as Context Menu button for this comment
• Add "Are you sure you want to close post creation" alert
• Community modlog
• Posts can now be marked as read when you scroll past them (disabled by default)
• Add "Display" preferences
• "Show Communities Instances" in Preferences -> Display

Changes

• Big improvements to Post editor:
  • Added a toolbar with buttons for formatting
  • If you create a list or quote and press "Return", the next line will automatically start with the same formatting
  • Text editor itself now shows formatting as you type
• Updated the About to include HighlightedTextEditor license
• Comment creator, profile sidebar editor and community sidebar editor now use the same text editor
• Sort types dropdown text is now formatted correctly
• General UI consistency improvements
• Moved "Compact View" into "Display" preferences
• Moved "Show Letter Separators" into "Display" preferences

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where sometimes not all comments would load
• Fixed a bug where if user toggled on compact view, the already loaded posts would not be compacted correctly
• Trending will not show NSFW communities anymore
• Fixed decoding HTML entities in the title of the post
• If compact view is enabled, if you open a post, the bottom bar will not be displayed in a single row anymore

Hello everyone! Today a new Leomard update has been released! This update brings some of the QOL features. To start, you can now enable separation of Followed communities by their first letter:

Additionally, you can search the list of Followed communities:

Login screen also received a small upgrade. Leomard will try to load instance’s icon, as well as allow you to search for an instance by its name:

Last but not least, a small set of “Mod Tools” have been added, which will make moderating a community easier:

This and more is available in Leomard 0.4. Here’s the full changelog:

Added

• Mod Tools:
  • Remove posts
  • Lock posts
  • Distinguish comment
  • Remove comments
  • Remove community
  • Edit community

• Distinguished comment indicator
• Instance icons on the login screen

Hello everyone!

Another feature-packed Leomard update is here! This time I’m adding some long requested features. First one is the brand new Compact View, which can be enabled in the Preferences:

Now you can see more posts at once! Additionally, one feature that I’m really excited about is “Hidden Instances” setting. With this setting, you can simply type the hostnames of instances you do not want to see:

Last but not least, if you open “Search”, you now will find the list of trending communities:

This and more is awaiting in Leomard 0.3. Here’s a full changelog:

Added

• Added support for "!community@instance" and "@user@instance" in the text. You can now click on them to open the community or user profile
• Added protocol handler for leomard:// links. Communties or profiles can be opened by opening a link with such protocol (example: leomard://[!leomard@lemm.ee](/c/leomard@lemm.ee))
• You can now feature a post in community as a moderator (right-click and click "Pin")
• Color coding to subcomments
• Comments can now be marked as read manually, on post view, or vote
• "Show NSFW Content in Feed" toggle
• "Hide Read Posts" toggle
• Cross-posting
• Hide instances. Simply add an instance hostname to the list in settings, and posts, comments and profiles from that instance will not be shown in the feed and search
• Compact View
• Added profile editing
  • You can now change display name and banner in the profile view
  • You can view blocked communities and persons, as well as unblock them
  • To access, go into your profile and click the pen icon
• "Trending" communities when opening Search. You can also scroll down to see more trending communities
• You can now select from saved sessions on login screen

Changes

• Decreased the indentation of the subcomments
• Decreased the minimum window height, so the window won't be too big on smaller screens or larger display scales
• Slightly lowered system requirements to macOS 13.0 (previous version required was macOS 13.1)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed verifying URLs in post creation. Sometimes the server would not allow "HEAD" requests. If that's the case, the app will send "GET", if 405 is returned
• Fixed adding images, if they have a space in the name
• Window size is not restored correctly on launch
• Fix duplicate call to updateUnreadMessagesCount() (#54)
• When all replies are shown, when replying, the reply won't disappear (#57)

Hello everyone!

After a hard week of work, and tremendous help from boscojwho on GitHub, is here! This update brings many, many new features. Of course, we’re still far away from making it 100% feature complete, but it’s slowly getting there: we’ve got multi-account support, uploading photos, searching, support for “@athlon@lemm.ee” and “!leopard@lemm.ee” links, and more!

This update not only brings new features, but also optimization improvements, which should help with the post load times, app load times and more. Here’s the full changelog:

Note: You will have to log in again, because the app now uses a different method of storing the authorization tokens. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Added

• Added status indicator when sending a post (#7)
• Added alert when sending/editing post/comment fails
• Refreh button in the inbox
• Replies sort method for inbox
• Profile view sort method
• Added status indicator when sending a reply
• Multi-account support (#22)
• Confirm delete post/comment
• Blocking users
• Blocking communities
• Update checking on launch
• Image uploading
• Search within community
• OP indicator in the comments
• Post reporting
• Comment reporting
• Bots are now marked with "🤖" emoji
• Support for "!community@instance" and "@user@instance" in Search

Changes

• Massive refactoring of code and general optimization, thanks to boscojwho on GitHub
  • Post views are now a bit prettier
  • Replaced stock AsyncImage with Nuke
  • Improved load time of the app (both from cold start and from background)
  • API request handler is now running in separate thread, which should speed up the app
• 2FA key field is now always present in the login view (seems like some Lemmy instances change the response text when 2FA is enabled, so the app can't reliably detect if 2FA is enabled)
• Many UI improvements

Bug Fixes

• Fixed notification counter not updating (#9)
• Unread message count should update, as soon as you reply to a message from the inbox
• Post creation popup content never gets cleared (#6)
• Fixed images in comments overflowing the comment box, if the image was placed in line with text
• Fixed duplicate posts and comments

Removed

• Experimental settings
