Hi, been reading feedback and implementing the ones that I think would be good to add. This release brings a favourites bar to the drawer, the ability to set a default page, More text size options, and an overhauled settings page.
Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!
Next things I want to tackle are improving the markdown editor and adding in user/community/instance block lists.
Finally thank you for your continued support! The feedback has been very helpful in improving Connect.

- Added option for enabling notifications across all signed in accounts

Hi
Are you considering an open source version available on F-Droid in the future?
Yeah possibly if there is enough interest. I’d just want to clean up the codebase first since the current pace of development makes things a bit messy.
That would be absolutely amazing! I look forward to an open source version, regardless of whether it is listed on F-Droid or not.

Thank you for at least considering it. 👍
Open sourcing the codebase would most definitely increase the interest in the app, and as such also invite people to contribute to the project.
This is also probably one reason many will skip the app, because of not being open source.
Not saying it’s a bad thing, but just a thought. I like the app, started my Lemmy journey with it, but wanted to go for an open source instead. Keep up the good work! Following the development of this!
