This release is be focused on polishing the app further.

I've been extremely busy for the past few months and will continue to be busy for the foreseeable future. To help get changes out sooner, this release will be broken down into multiple parts.

Full changelog

  • Start migration to Material 3 Expressive, Google's new design system.
  • Improve app startup time.
  • Improve experience for instances that disable downvotes. Downvote buttons are hidden on the post feed/post screen. Downvote actions on these instances are ignored.
  • Improve search support on PieFed instances.
  • Improve the feel of bottom sheet menus. Fix a bug where flinging on a bottom sheet does not dismiss the bottom sheet.
  • Fix a bug where the wrong image is shown in the post feed.
  • Fix a bug where tapping on retry on the load error UI on the search screen will add another load error UI.
  • Fix a bug where sometimes the app says there is a network error even though there is an internet connection.
  • Fix a bug where the app cannot recover from a network error until the app is restarted.
  • Fix some bugs related to "Find in page".

Update

Added more minor changes as part of the v1.71.2 release:

  • Fix a bug where the upvote or sometimes downvote button was missing.
  • Improve gestures so that the gesture icon is always on screen. This fixes the issue where the gesture icon might be off screen if the post/comment being acted on it very long.
  • Improve comment/post editor so that the view will auto scroll to the cursor when the keyboard is opened/closed. This fixes an issue where opening the keyboard would cause the cursor to become offscreen.

Update 2

  • Fix a bug where posts are incorrectly marked as read when "Swipe between posts" is enabled.
  • Fix a UI bug where reporting on posts will show the progress spinner forever.

Some images don't seem to load for me, is anyone else getting this problem? Tested in Interstellar and it displays fine. Example: https://fedia.io/m/gems/t/2625829

When i visit your link it asks me to log in. Are you logged into fedia.io when you view the link?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 4 days ago

It's a thread at !gems@fedia.io but strangely enough it does load now for me (it was a GIF). However, other images aren't loading for me either sometimes.

I'm so glad I came across summit. You're the best!

Great update, tho for me the downvotes button seems to have disappeared in my post feed and I couldn't find the option to re-enable it

[–] idunnololz_test@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Looking into this tonight.

Thank you so much (like in general and your quick responses)! Don't stress though it was in no way a demand, more of an FYI

But, you are not a Jedi yet.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks great and seems much more responsive, but I appear to have lost upvote count on posts.

They show up for comments though.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pushed a release out to fix this. Should be available in a bit.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Working! You're amazing, as always! Thank you for all the updates.

Would you consider an option for the "Link actions" menu to have plain text preview? I find it better than the preview link action(extra click, the request).

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, I don't think I understand the feature request. Could you please give more details?

From the screenshot it looks like you prefer Japanese. If you want you can write your comment in Japanese. My partner is fluent and he can translate for me :D

[–] Ryu@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

As shown in the screenshot, the initial menu has the link's("@vanessafoley") address at the top. In Summit you get the actions list, then you need to pick "preview link" to check the address(which also has an actual preview of the website, which i prefer to avoid).

Or of course just copy and paste somewhere :)

I'm not sure if I should call that a bug or not: I often browse with "hide read" enabled, and I also have "mark cross posts as read" enabled. When scrolling the feed and encountering a cross post, it's correctly married as read, but apparently that happens after the step where posts are hidden, so it isn't actually hidden. Would be nice if that could be included in the hiding of posts.

Which item are you referring to?

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Well the stuff I wrote in the comment. Not really related to any point?

[–] aprehendedmerlin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had to go back to 1.70.1 after the update any post I try to open app crashes immediately. I can send you logs if you want
