This release is be focused on polishing the app further.

I've been extremely busy for the past few months and will continue to be busy for the foreseeable future. To help get changes out sooner, this release will be broken down into multiple parts.

Full changelog

Start migration to Material 3 Expressive, Google's new design system.
Improve app startup time.
Improve experience for instances that disable downvotes. Downvote buttons are hidden on the post feed/post screen. Downvote actions on these instances are ignored.
Improve search support on PieFed instances.
Improve the feel of bottom sheet menus. Fix a bug where flinging on a bottom sheet does not dismiss the bottom sheet.
Fix a bug where the wrong image is shown in the post feed.
Fix a bug where tapping on retry on the load error UI on the search screen will add another load error UI.
Fix a bug where sometimes the app says there is a network error even though there is an internet connection.
Fix a bug where the app cannot recover from a network error until the app is restarted.
Fix some bugs related to "Find in page".

Update

Added more minor changes as part of the v1.71.2 release:

Fix a bug where the upvote or sometimes downvote button was missing.
Improve gestures so that the gesture icon is always on screen. This fixes the issue where the gesture icon might be off screen if the post/comment being acted on it very long.
Improve comment/post editor so that the view will auto scroll to the cursor when the keyboard is opened/closed. This fixes an issue where opening the keyboard would cause the cursor to become offscreen.

Update 2

Fix a bug where posts are incorrectly marked as read when "Swipe between posts" is enabled.
Fix a UI bug where reporting on posts will show the progress spinner forever.
Minor tweaks to post UI.
Update "Manage internal settings backup" UI.
Add setting to mark post as read on post hide.
Add search option to the "more" menu on the community feed screen. Tapping it will open the search page. If tapped within a community feed, the community filter will be auto-set to the correct community.

Update 3

Release changes as v1.71.3. Still super busy so expect slower than usual updates. Going on vacation in 2 weeks. Need to get a bunch of home stuff done and also really busy at work :S

Update 4

Overhauled the paging logic for those who prefer to not use infinite scrolling. The paging code is out of date and it has not been maintained well. This overhaul should fix a lot of bugs. I will also be dogfooding the app with no infinite scrolling for the next couple of days just to make sure all major bugs are resolved.

Overhauled the app's paging system which is used when infinite scrolling is off.
Fix a bug where posts with an embedded video link would show only the video and nothing else (eg. no text or URL even if the post has them)

Update 5

Releasing changes as v1.71.4.

Update 6

Release v1.71.5 for github release. This version is equivalent to v1.71.4 on the play store.

Update 7

More changes:

Add method to change the symbol used when scores are unknown. When used with "hide post scores" or "hide comment scores" will allow users to adjust what symbol to use when a score is hidden.
Fix a bug where last character of a spoiler block is consumed.
Fix a bug where a DM is super long, the message will not be marked as read.
Fix a bug where the context of a reply is not completely loaded in the inbox message screen if the comment has too many children.

Update 8

This release is starting to get too long. This will likely be the last update of this minor release (unless there are critical bugs).

Users may have noticed that v1.71.4 never made it to release on the play store. This is because after a lot of testing, I found a lot of bugs with the release and I did not feel comfortable releasing the version to the general public with those bugs. v1.71.6 has been thoroughly tested over the course of a week and contains a lot of fixes for bugs in v1.71.4.

Most impressive.

But, you are not a Jedi yet.

[–] BandanaBug@piefed.social 10 points 3 months ago

I'm so glad I came across summit. You're the best!

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looks great and seems much more responsive, but I appear to have lost upvote count on posts.

They show up for comments though.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pushed a release out to fix this. Should be available in a bit.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Working! You're amazing, as always! Thank you for all the updates.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Great update, tho for me the downvotes button seems to have disappeared in my post feed and I couldn't find the option to re-enable it

[–] idunnololz_test@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looking into this tonight.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thank you so much (like in general and your quick responses)! Don't stress though it was in no way a demand, more of an FYI

[–] Ryu@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would you consider an option for the "Link actions" menu to have plain text preview? I find it better than the preview link action(extra click, the request).

Jerboa:

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I don't think I understand the feature request. Could you please give more details?

From the screenshot it looks like you prefer Japanese. If you want you can write your comment in Japanese. My partner is fluent and he can translate for me :D

[–] Ryu@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As shown in the screenshot, the initial menu has the link's("@vanessafoley") address at the top. In Summit you get the actions list, then you need to pick "preview link" to check the address(which also has an actual preview of the website, which i prefer to avoid).

Or of course just copy and paste somewhere :)

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I see. I'll add this to the roadmap.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fix a bug where the upvote or sometimes downvote button was missing

I can confirm that this bug is still present on v1.71.4 (289). Rebooting my phone seems to fix it, but only temporarily.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I havent seen this bug in a while personally so I think this is likely related to the combination of settings. Can you please dm me your settings. You can send me your settting by going to Settings > Import & export settings > Export settings > Copy to clipboard. You can unchckec "include database" as i dont think its relevant and will make the test too long to paste.

The material 3 experience is amazing so far. Great job!

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks!

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Downvote button completely disappears sometimes

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you consistently reproduce this issue?

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Unfortunately not. I've tried clearing the cache and force-stopping the app, it worked once but then never more

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Rebooting my phone seemed to fix the issue for me.

Edit: But only temporarily.

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

Sorry for the super late reply but this issue should be fixed in the latest release.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm not sure if I should call that a bug or not: I often browse with "hide read" enabled, and I also have "mark cross posts as read" enabled. When scrolling the feed and encountering a cross post, it's correctly married as read, but apparently that happens after the step where posts are hidden, so it isn't actually hidden. Would be nice if that could be included in the hiding of posts.

I had to go back to 1.70.1 after the update any post I try to open app crashes immediately. I can send you logs if you want

Fix a bug where posts are incorrectly marked as read when "Swipe between posts" is enabled.

I'm on 1.71.3 (version code 288), and I think this bug is still present.

After entering and exiting a post in the feed, everything looks fine at first, but when I refresh the feed, the posts on either side are incorrectly marked as read.

Edit: Now it seems that the bug is gone, despite no change in the version number. Very strange...

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Let me know if it comes back.

The newly released .4 doesn't seem to have had it's version number increased. I've installed it, but obtainium kept telling me there's an update. Manually updating directly from GitHub also didn't change the version number from .3.

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

I didn't commit my changes onto github. I only committed my version bump 🤦. Just committed my changes now. Update should be available in ~30minutes.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Yup that seems to have worked, thanks!
