This update is focused on implementing even more user requested features. If anyone has any other features they want to see feel free to suggest them.

Changelog

  • Added a screen that shows more details about a post/comment including the upvote percentage.
  • Added settings to change the color of gesture actions.
  • Added settings to enable post/comment upvote percentages. There are two separate settings, one for comments and one for posts.
  • Added setting to indicate posts/comments created by the current user. This will be on by default
  • Added community list for each instance. This screen is accessible through the instance info screen.
  • Added option to manually save a draft from the create/edit post/comment screen.
  • Added setting to enable/disable automatic drafts. This is enabled by default.
  • Fixed a bug where sharing an image will share the link even if "share image directly" is enabled.
  • Fixed a crash when using the app with Lemmy v0.19.

v1.17.1 Changelog

  • Fixed a bug in the compose comment/post screen where restoring a draft, leaving the app and then returning back to the app will sometimes cause the app to overwrite the content with the contents of the draft.
  • Fixed a bug where the progress bar in certain places did not respect the current theme selected.
  • Fixed a bug where admin tools will not be shown even though the current user is an admin and admin actions can be taken.
  • Fixed a rare crash.
  • Improved the community list screen a little. Also added a menu to view the community info directly from the community list screen.
  • When commenting on a post, the "reply to" field will now also include the title of the post. This makes it easier when replying to posts where the title is important. Eg. a "ask lemmy" post.
  • Improved some animations in the community info screen.

Update

I'm releasing v1.17.1 as a fast follow up release to address some bugs and polish some parts of the app.

I really appreciate the constant updates for Summit! It's my preferred Lemmy client, as it looks very nice and runs incredibly smoothly (a lot of the apps I've tried suffer from a lot of stuttering whenever scrolling through posts).

By any chance, are Instance Admin tools planned? I can see the Admin options for my instance's main community, but I can't see them for posts/comments that don't originate from my instance.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I will need some clarification here. So the post/comment is made by someone who is on another instance but the content is posted on a community on your instance. Is that correct?

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah my apologies I should've clarified a bit. For example, if I'm on !outpost@outpost.zeuslink.net then I can see the Admin tools on both comments and posts, since that is a community on my instance (and I am an admin on my instance). But say, for this post (along with my comment and yours) I don't get the Admin tools option.

Or if even I myself make a post / comment that is outside of my instance, I also cannot see the Admin tools there either.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see. I can take a look later today.

Should be fixed in v1.17.1 (latest version). Let me know if it's fixed or if it's still broken.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 2 years ago

Looks to be working perfectly now, thank you so much!

As always, thanks so, so much for Summit. It's a wonderful app. I keep saying this on every update, but I truly think it's the best way to browse Lemmy at the moment.

I have two bugs to report:

Bug report: if I'm writing a message and my screen turns off, on resume the keyboard will override the chat box. Video showing the bug.

Bug report: If I'm writing a message retrieved from the drafts and add some extra text, and I swap to another app, when I go back to Summit the message reverts to the one retrieved from the draft and the extra text is lost. Video showing the bug.

Thank you for reporting these. Will take a look sometime today.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a fix for the second but I am not able to reproduce the first bug. I'll try with a few other devices. If you have any special settings turn on, let me know.

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was fast. Thanks a lot.

I tried looking into it, both into my Summit settings and GBoard settings, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. But it's not too important, so don't worry too much about it. Thanks a lot for the other fix :)

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I can try downloading some 3rd party keyboards and see if that causes the bug but so far no luck reproducing on 4 different test devices.

Thank you very much!

If a user links to an image in the comments, it always opens it in the browser. It would be good if it can be opened internally like other images.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Done. This will be added in the next update.

[–] portside@monyet.cc 2 points 2 years ago

Neat! Thanks for considering this ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Holy, I have to update. Still using 1.12.x, lol
