Its been a stressful week for us lemmy devs, but I can say that getting more contributors to jerboa and lemmy-ui have been hugely helpful. Between lemmy and my other projects, I haven't been able to dedicate the time jerboa deserves, so I'm really grateful.
i wrote an open-source software and i know how difficult it is to develop something for open-source ( no money, people complaining...)
If you are short in money like me, Give encouragement is the minimum users can do
Now it's in and I'm using it, I'm wondering if it would be better if tapping a comment would only collapse the children of that comment instead. This might prevent user frustration if they try and click a link in a comment but miss, so the comment closes instead.
@a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml I know I have no right to ask this as I'm in no position to contribute myself atm, but please make it a long press or add on option to configure the behavior (like Boost).
I already find myself fat-fingering the wrong UI action a lot, and this new collapsing behavior doesn't help.
Yeah after some discussion on GitHub this is the direction the app is headed in, and the next update should have some settings in this regard with Boost-like behaviour as a user option. We can add more options if the community are split on their preferences. The joy of open source!
Really like the ability to hide the bottom navigation bar.... although, whilst the Profile, Inbox & Saved (bookmarked) are replicated in the Main Menu, the Search option is not....Would be good to have that
available in the Menu also..🤞🏻
Edited/updated as I initially hadn't noticed that, Saved is available in the main menu.

These changes look very promising, especially the comment collapsing change. Keep up the good work, all contributors!

very usefull app : for me, it's a game changer for lemmy popularity
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y
Thanks! I wrote it because I also became convinced, that having a decent mobile app was severely limiting our potential.

Hi there! Just want to say that i appreciate the work you are up to. The app (0.0.29) works well and I'm legitimately enjoying my time using it.
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Thanks! Glad you're liking it.

This please, that would be just like my go to Reddit app, Relay, did it!
a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
Yeah BaconReader does the same, I think it makes sense. I'll try and fix that for the next release.

Amoled theme feels awesome. Keep up the good work!
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 18 pts · 3y
Thanks to @a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml for adding that ❤
a1studmuffin@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 3y
My pleasure, I'm glad I could contribute in my own small way to this awesomeness!

Hi there,
thanks for the work on the app ❤️ Are you open for PRs?
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
Yes.
Lets_taco_bout_it@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 3y
This app is great for me coming from RIF. Is there a way to sort by top rated comments? Keep up the great work!
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y
Thanks! Not yet, but there is an open issue.
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y
Downloading from fdroid now!
NoTime@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
How can you download it from F-Droid? I have the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository added and the latest Jerboa is 0.0.31 released 2nd June.
noodlejetski@beehaw.org · 2 pts · 3y
update the repos
trollblox_@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
I have mine set to update every hour and still no update. I also added izzyondroid repo as recommended in another comment, still no update.
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jerboa says
0.0.32NoTime@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
All sorted thanks, it just wasn't on 0.0.32 at the time of making my comment when I was manually refreshing the repo.
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
No probs.
fisco@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
Nice update, really like the blacked out theme...thank you👍🏻
XLRV@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Could it be possible for Lemmy to use beta testing via the Play Store?
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
Not much need for that atm, I release pretty frequently, and we don't have many features that stay unmerged for long.
XLRV@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y
Alright, I don't mind downloading the app from GitHub so it doesn't bother me either way.
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 3y
I'd also recommend adding the izzyondroid repo to f-droid, it updates much more frequently than anywhere else.
XLRV@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
I'll check it later, thanks 🙏
redshift@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
@dessalines@lemmy.ml might know? I'm hoping it's possible - I'd like to help and report issues.
nigelinux@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Thanks for the great work! Like it so far. A small one-off problem, it doesn't seem to support android's autofill at login.
dessalines@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Thanks! There's an open issue for it.
