Summit

This is a small release that mainly add two things (1) a screen where you can view all of the uploaded media tied to an account and (2) it adds the concept of "templates".

Templates are similar to drafts, except they are meant to be reusable. Templates will most likely be useful for mods and admins.

For now, templates are only available for registration application rejections which are only for instance admins however there are plans to expand templates to mod actions as well in the future.

This release also fixes more bugs and adds some other minor features.

Full changelog

• Add support for "Atkinson Hyperlegible™ Font" as a custom font option.
• Add uploads screen. This is accessible from the You screen and will show you all of the media you've uploaded.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
• Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.
• Revisit how settings (specifically Settings search) is implemented

Specific user requests

• Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
• Take screenshot from post feed.
• Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
• Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
• Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
• Add setting to show bottom bar on post screen
• Add custom layout setting for inbox screen. Specifically to support a "full" layout.
• Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.
• https://lemmy.world/post/27467193
• add option to import communities from Reddit
• add setting to separate recent communities, bookmarks and history by account.

• see if there is a way to check which comments were made since the last time you viewed a post and to highlight them somehow (apparently boost does this?). If this isn't possible, add an option to highlight new posts (maybe with an adjustable time range). 15m seems like a good amount of time.
• Set the ‘hide read posts’ option as default on. So when I load the feed I don’t have to hit ellipses then hide read posts again. Make it persist even if I change sorting mode.
• each post in the feed should have a ‘mark as read’ button I can tap easily, when hit post auto hides.
• a button that scrolls down kind of like the scroll to next comment thread functionality, with the up and down buttons, BUT it scrolls the main feed screen by a page at a time.
• maybe surface search within community in more places?
