- Added hex input to colour pickers
- Added setting to change comment long press action
- Added option to hide nsfw in main feeds but not inside communities (note currently only applies to ‘hide’)
- Added sign up button on sign in page
- Added sticky sort (remembers changes to sort)
- Added community filters (filters posts from communities whose name matches a filter)
- Added setting to control notification time Interval (10S to 12H)
- Added share and hide to comment swipe actions
- Added release notes to app startup
- Added setting to control release notes
Fixed
- Fixed table markdown in some scenarios

- Fixed issue with jumping to parent comment being offset in comment navigator
- Fixed draft comments loading the wrong comment while editing when you have multiple comments
- Fixed ‘View full post’ modal not disappearing on click
- Fixed theme setting not persisting

Thank you everyone for all of the support and suggestions, please keep them coming and we’ll continue to make Connect the best app for browsing Lemmy!

Was afraid development might stop due to majority of users shifting to Sync when it was first released (I’m guilty too).
But I have since moved back to using Connect and I am glad to still see constant updates. Thanks for the good work!
I’ve moved back to connect. You have to pay for premium on sync in order to get push notifications. Also I think connect looks better but that’s subjective.
I switch between them. Connect on phones, always, and on one specific tablet that’s set up for guests to use. We call it the toilet tablet lol.
On my tablets, I usually go with sync for the two column view with cards.
But connect has better theming options, particularly with the new color picker that lets you set your own background colors. That’s been my biggest complaint about sync for a while, that I can’t get a good contrast between cards and background. Makes it hard on my old eyes.
I also was pretty hyped for Sync and had the thought that I’ll leave Connect behind when it comes out but…
honestly, Connect is the best client so far. By a lot, and I have a feeling it will stay the best for a long time, especially if kuro is this active with the development. I mean, come on, the dude pushes hotfixes in hours(!) for somewhat critical bugs that get reported here. It’s amazing and kinda inspiring :D
