Nice to see another frontend even as it's unusable for me without compact mode.
Looking at GitHub it's marketed primary as mobile frontend. I would be curious know if desktop experience planned to be improved.
Compact mode is on my todo list! Sorry for the delay. My intention wasn't to mark the repo as being mobile first.
Depends on what you mean by improved. I'm pretty set on the current desktop layout, but there are a lot of small things that need to be improved: post/image sharing, private message loading is kinda terrible, missing comment search, lack of moderation features, custom emoji are missing.
If it's those type of things, I would say expect improvement! If you want multi column scroll with post feed on the left and the post with comments on the right, Blorp might not be for you.
But yeah, I'd love to here what you are thinking!
The opening page on the repo directly promotes mobile experience.
Some of the feature suggestions for better desktop experience:
Also my profile function seems to be broken. I'm logged in, but it doesn't show.
Good luck with the development.
Yeah good point with GiHub promoting mobile.
For the login, I’m trying to debug. In the dropdown, if you click settings, what do you see under “Account 1”?
Are you confident the login was successful? Are you able to vote, view inbox, or any other action that requires auth?
I can access the inbox, vote, leave comments, create posts, access subscribing and moderating feeds, etc.
I think I know exactly what is happening. I’m publishing 1.9.4 with a fix. This is the first update I’m publishing since blorp.lemmy.zip and blorp.piefed.zip were setup, so I’m not sure how quickly that bug fix will propigate or if the admins need to manually update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
