Welcome to v1.0.0 of Summit.
This updates marks the point where Summit should be feature complete and customizable enough to be used as a daily driver for a good portion of users. This update also marks the point where the core experience of Summit should be fully fleshed out now.
That being said, there are still a huge amount of features on the roadmap and each of those features can be considered important or core to a particular user. If what you consider core has not been implemented yet, please let me know what that feature is in the comments!
This update is massive. I’ve tried my best to keep track of every single change but I may have missed some.
Changelog
- Added a secret feature (it’s in comment list settings)
- Added theme picker. Since no one suggested any themes yet I only added 2 themes for now: Red and Blue. I will add more themes in the future as people suggest them.
- Added filter bar in your communities pane.
- Added “add link” dialog to comment and post views.
- Improve look for large list view and card 3.
- Added a setting to have single tap on a thumbnail within the post list open the image viewer. When this setting is enabled, long tapping the thumbnail will expand the post.
- Added option to set a gesture as “None”. Doing so exclude that gesture slot. Eg. Setting gesture 2 and 3 as “None” will make it so the only swipe action is gesture 1.
- Added option change the width of gesture actions as a percentage of the width of the screen
- Added card 3 (header is below the image with the title at the top)
- Added large list layout (like card but without the card)
- Added a setting to change the global font color. Choose between Calm (recommended) which are text colors optimized to reduce eye strain and High Contrast which uses pure whites/blacks.
- Added sort order picker into the top bar. When infinite scrolling is on, the current sort order will be displayed in the top bar
- Removed the link button for image/video posts. The link button for these posts is redundant as you can open the link with other means.
- Added a setting to always show the link button.
- Added Patreon page to the app.
- Added button to share a link to the post/comment on it’s home instance
- Better communicate the tab system of Summit while also adding additional navigation options. Demo: https://youtu.be/N2TjuyGK1D8
- Changed: Set client sided defaults for posts and comments sort order
- Changed: Long tapping on the image of a post will now mark that post as read.
- Changed: Optimized some network calls. Overall network calls made by the app should be even lower now.
- Fixed a bug where tapping on the setting button besides an account would not open the account settings.
- Fixed a bug where the history tracker would show the wrong instance for All, Local or Subscribed feeds.
- Fixed a bug that prevented comments gestures from being changed
- Fixed a bug where the screen sometimes flickers when a post is tapped.
- Fixed a bug where the keyboard would obstruct content
- Fixed a bug where text fields would not retain their text on rotation
- Fixed a bug where changing the size of gestures causes a crash.
- Fixed more crashes
- Fixed more UI bugs
Great job on this app. I had been using a different Lemmy app and just recently began trying out Summit. After this latest release it’s my primary. Beautiful layout and feature set. Thank you.
The only thing that stands out to me is that the scrolling position indicator is very wide and square-edged. Otherwise functions as great as it looks.
It’s wide because it’s draggable. If it was narrow you wouldn’t think to try to drag it.
As for the square edge yeah that is more of a older design choice. I can look for update it for the next update.
Is there a search feature in the app(apart from the community search)? I am not sure if I see it.
Great release! I noticed the subscription filter is there, thank you!
I’m trying out a bunch of different Lemmy apps right now. Summit has a great UI. I love how dark the background gets, the compact card option, and the history tab (exceptionally cool). I am looking forward to seeing the search implementation. Summit stays on my phone for now. I think there are big things coming for this app.
Excellent, I am a little fond of the previous back gesture, but this one is nice too.
Now that we have that Relay comment feature maybe we should have a FAB icon there too for commenting:)
Also it would be nice to have a quick button to get on the top of the current feed, normally pressing the home button in the bottom panel is the way to go, but maybe a shortcut in the FAB would be nice too.
Wait I didn’t change the back gesture I don’t think (or it wasn’t intentional). What do you mean?
Hmm, it nows behaves/looks like Jerboa’s when you swipe to the right to go one screen back, before it looked more like Sync for Reddit, like discarding a card or IDK what the animation name would be haha.
