Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I’m really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it’s a little too sensitive and registers votes when I’m simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don’t always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?
Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven’t voted. Often if I’m reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can’t remember if I’ve voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!
I don’t use any of these features, but I am liking the latest updates. They are even more stable, and the problem I had where posts would just stop loading once I scrolled far has been fixed.
I just installed Jerboa today, and have it running concurrently with Voyager (my goto Lemmy client for about a year), and so far, I like Jerboa MUCH more in terms of UX. I’m going to be running both for a couple of weeks to see which one I’ll keep at the end, but being a fan of all things gesture (except typing),Jerboa certainly has the edge right now. Thank you devs, awesome little client.
I like that it is optional. Would be even better if it was adjustable.
I second the demand for a decrease of swipe sensitivity
The swipe gesture feature uses a new experimental component. As far as I am aware we can’t configure the sensitivity. We have decided to have it off by default. We also fixed the swipe direction not being aligned with the description.
