Hi all. With all the feedback yesterday I wanted to make a release sooner rather than later to address some of the feedback I've received in order to make Connect even better! Some features I had hoped to get in (Markdown editor, image uploads) but will need some more time. Those will come in an upcoming release. I've also uploaded the APK to Apkmirror but it hasn't yet been reviewed, I'll post a link once that's ready.

Features:

• Feature: added setting for text sizes
• Feature: added setting for default comment sorting
• Feature: added the Inbox (thanks @troyunrau@lemmy.ca)
• Feature: Added open in web button at the community level
• Feature: added open in web action item for profiles and post views
• Feature: added unread comment counts to post cards
• Feature: markdown images now expand on click
• Feature: added a refresh button to the community pages when there's a server issue
• Feature: fullwidth view now scales images to fit instead of displaying cropped

Fixes:

• Bugfix: lemmy.ml posts should now work (they were on a different API version)
• Bugfix: The profile link now works correctly if there are multiple accounts with your same username
• Bugfix: Fixed the list view text being at 80% width
• Bugfix: subscription list is no longer limited to 10 items
• Bugfix resolved an issue where sometimes comments would be duplicated

Misc improvements

• Misc: made comments and sidebar lists more compact

What is upcoming in the next release:

• Markdown editor
• Image uploads
• Download button when viewing images
• Edit button for your comments/posts
• Block functionality for specific users/communities

Thank you for all your feedback and support! -kuroneko

I really like how this app looks, much more than jerboa, and it has some settings I really like. The issue is that some of these settings just don't seem to work at all. I generally use mobile apps in card view, but it seems that the card view just doesn't work for me, and is the same as full width. Along with this, blur/hide/show settings for NSFW also just don't do anything, with it being seemingly stuck on "hide". Hopefully these things can be easily fixed and are just with the setting activation.

Until this is fixed, I'll stick with jerboa, but once this is changed, I'm probably going to switch over to connect.

Hi, thanks for making more options for reading the fediverse! Have you considered making this open source or available via fdroid?

That's all. It's the first lemmy app I've tried, and aside from the inbox being totally busted, it looks and works great :)

Hi, I just started this project a couple days ago but if you have any feature requests or functionality you are missing please let me know here.
