• What features do you think this app is still missing?
  • What could be improved?
  • Anything that just upsets you or makes your life garder than it should be?

I hate when things like this pop-up inside apps or websites, so I decided to simply make a post, even knowing it will reach smaller audience. :)

so far:

  • Double tap on feed button should go to back to top
  • Replies marked as “read” are still shown in unread replies
  • A click on the own profil picture should show it in a bigger version
  • comments flashing on touch in posts
  • tap on top to change sorting
  • more customization
  • multilemmy (waiting for api on this one, dont want to ddos servers)
  • Banner is not visible
  • Community icons are missing on proifl page in “comments” and “posts”
  • url prompt in md text
  • posts flashing on touch in feed

    I really like the color scheme for the app. So many apps these days just stick to Material You design or basic grey/black/white and looks boring. The blue theming is really nice.

    As others have said I also like the text size as it is currently. As an accessibility thing it might be worth including some options but for now, I think it’s a very usable size

    The sorting and view options being in the FAB are not intuitive. I feel like the “Local | New” text at the top should be menus to switch sort/view options.

    I would also like to have some sort of Lists or Categories function where we could have additional feeds with specific communities in them, like having multiple sets of subscribed communities.

    Overall I feel like this is a strong start and am looking forward to continued development.

      I think all text elements support system native text scaling so if someone is using bigger text system-wide, it will be bigger in the app as well :) but yeah I plan to add more customization for app’s UI.

      Something like multireddits? This is, of course, possible via in-app state/network, but I’m afraid that it will DDoS servers simply because its not supported by lemmy itself (yet). I miss this feature as well and will add it as soon as it will be ready in the API.

      My intentions were to make the app easier to use with one hand without trying to reach to the top of the screen, but yes, its a good idea to provide more user-friendly experience

    After confusing myself, which as it turns out, was due to having edited the display name myself… Anyway, the icon is a masterpiece, the text sizing for me anyway is right on point, & scrolling is smooth… The only thing of note is the text flashing or dimming when scrolling, by that I mean if my finger touches the text or title of a post whilst initiating the scroll…which is a little offputting. The possibility to change the theming colours would be a nice to have also…apart from that I appreciate & like the format of the app…👍🏼

    Edit: Still on the PS ver 0.1.4.

    Color scheme is wonderful Easy to use That is my first impression with Arctius so far. It really looks nice and can replace Liftoff for me

        Glad I could help 🌞

        One thing is unusual for me. I was using Liftoff before. When I want to link something I could mark my text and tap the link button. Then a small screen showed up with the marked text and another field to put the link.

        Maybe something similar could be done with Arctius. Mark text and tap the link button. The marked text could be automaticly filled in the square brackets and the cursor jumps in the normal brackets 🤔

        Do you have GitHub Sponsors or something were I can donate a few euros to show some support? I like to help but I can not do programming 😁

          Good point, I added it in latest commit so it will be in a new version (3-4 days from today I guess, depending on when I’ll have time to put more things)

          Honestly, I just don’t want to deal with taxes 😅

          After all, its just a hobby project and I’m glad that its useful for other people as well, not just me :) if you like what I do, just keep sharing your experience and ideas, spread the word about app and have a great time
