Summit

Going to be working on adding mod tools for PieFed this release.

Changes so far

• Add support for modlogs on piefed.
• Add support for reviewing and accepting/rejecting registrations.
• Add support for [spoiler] tags.
• Fix some bugs with finding text on the post screen.
• Heavily optimized save/restore post feed when app is killed and restored. This adds a slightly longer delay when the app is restored after it's been killed by the OS but it should reduce the number of network calls and improve snappiness once the app is restored.
• Show HD image toggle in more situations.
• Fix a bug where the loading spinner never disappears on a post even though internally the post has failed to load.
• Fix bug where "No comments" is not shown when there are no comments.

Update

Honestly thought PieFed had added support for seeing post/comment reports and resolving them via API but that API is still unavailable. That will have to be in a different release I guess.

Just adding more user requests.

Full changelog

• Add new option to never indicate whether a post is read or not. This change may reset your current read indicator setting.
• Add "edit comment" comment quick action.
• Add setting for "peek" function. When enabled, long pressing on an image will show a preview of the image. The preview closes if you let go. Can be found under Settings > Misc. Default: off.
• Remove support for Android 5 and below. The new minimum Android version is 6 (API level 23).
• Fix side panel staying locked if search is opened and closed.
• Update dependencies.
• Fix bug where a bunch of mark read action failures are logged each you switch accounts.
• Fix gesture actions and gesture navigation conflicts.
• Fix broken volume navigation in post screen.

Update

Kept finding bugs left and right so spent like 6 hours fixing every bug I encountered. I don't remember every bug I fixed so enjoy. If anyone finds any bugs let me know. Bug fixes will go out in v1.79.1.

Ok I went back and read through my commit so I can make a list of the fixes:

• Made the mod log bottom sheet easier to dismiss by swiping.
• Greatly improved the speed that the inbox screen loads
• Fix a bug where the edit comment quick action will be disabled/enabled when it shouldn't be.
• Fix a bug where when an image loads, the image will have a height of 0 for 1 frame causing a flicker.
• Fix a bug where opening a post will sometimes cause the bottom nav to flicker in for 1 frame.
• Fix a bug where sometimes AVIF images will be loaded at a much higher resolution then necessary.
• Improve the loading spinner so that it waits a tiny bit before showing. This means that the loading spinner will not appear on screens that loads nearly instantly. This should be a slight UX improvement as it should decrease the frequency of you seeing the loading spinner for a frame and then disappearing.
• Fix a bug where when you are using full layout and have a max height set, sometimes the text in the full layout will appear as if the text has been offset by a random amount.

Update 2

v1.79.2 release. More bug fixes:

• Allow search field to be blank when doing a search. This is a valid search since sometimes you want to search for posts posted by a person a on community.
• Fix a bug where the post is obscured by navigation rail when in "tablet" mode.
• Fix a bug where back press on a post does not close the post in rare edge cases.

Update 3

v1.79.3

• Add shortcut from image viewer to post button. Also add the option to image peeking.
• Hide comment quick action if user is not allowed to modified the comment.
• Fix a bug where the loading indicator doesn't hide sometimes.
• Fix crashes.

Update 4

v1.79.4

• Fix history tracking when "Swipe between posts" is enabled
• Fix position not saved when app is killed and recreated when "Swipe between posts" is enabled
• Fix more crashes.

Update 5

The last 2 versions were both attempting to fix a crash when "Swipe between posts" is enabled. However both attempts failed due to quirks in some code that is out of my control (it's in Google's code). After a lot of testing I think I finally have a fix.

v1.79.5

• Finally fix a crash that can occur when "Swipe between posts" is enabled and the app is killed and restored a few times.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
• Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.

Specific user requests

• Take screenshot from post feed.
• Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
• Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
• Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
• Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.
