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 The paging code is out of date and it has not been maintained well.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)

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

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks 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 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks 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 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Looking into this tonight.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago

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

[–] BandanaBug@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Enjoy your well deserved vacation!

[–] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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 6 days ago

Let me know if it comes back.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 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.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if I should call that a bug or not

Which item are you referring to?

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well the stuff I wrote in the comment. Not really related to any point?

[–] aprehendedmerlin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some images don't seem to load for me, is anyone else getting this problem? Tested in Interstellar and it displays fine. Example: https://fedia.io/m/gems/t/2625829

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

When i visit your link it asks me to log in. Are you logged into fedia.io when you view the link?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a thread at !gems@fedia.io but strangely enough it does load now for me (it was a GIF). However, other images aren't loading for me either sometimes.

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

Oh damn, thats a cool community. Sorry for the late reply but are you still getting this issue? I checked the community and I am unable yo reproduce the issue myself.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No worries, I know you're busy. Still having the same issue, example:

[–] y0din@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not to step on anyone’s toes, but HTTP 4xx errors usually mean the request isn’t allowed or can’t be fulfilled on the client side (like needing to log in, an expired link, or access restrictions). 5xx errors are the ones that point to real server issues. So in this case it might just be the hosting platform enforcing access rules rather than a problem with Summit itself. Just sharing a thought.

Network edge cases — interrupted or partial requests can reach the server in an incomplete form, which results in 400.

Edit/afterthought:

Something that occurred to me afterwards: sometimes 400s can also pop up from network edge cases — like an interrupted or partial request reaching the server in an incomplete form (RFC 7231 §6.5.1). And since you’re on a different Lemmy instance, it could just be that side acting up. Lemmy servers typically run behind an nginx reverse proxy (default setup), and if that proxy or backend gets overloaded, it may return 400s. Add in federation quirks like sync or backlog delays, and it would explain why it sometimes works fine and sometimes doesn’t — different people see different images fail at different times.

Downvote button completely disappears sometimes

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

Can you consistently reproduce this issue?

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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