Will be tracking the roadmap by year going forwards.

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  • Extremely out of date version check?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 if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)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.

Specific user requests

  • Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
  • When making posts under less-than-ideal clients side network conditions/unstable server conditions, the post can sometimes become many times duplicated, potentially by some retrying mechanism. This can be a bit of a mess, and it would be nice if retries were for non-mutating API calls only, or if possible from the Lemmy server’s side, add idempotency so that duplicates get discarded.
  • Add a setting to disable/enable parsing 4 numbers separated by dots as ip addresses. This is currently always enabled in the app.

Stretch features (nice to have but I need to do more research)

  • Possible integration with mastodon/? (needs research)
  • Support kbin?
  • Sync between devices?

Completed

  • Add haptic feedback to some actions such as voting and posting/commenting

    Can we also have live results in search? (Search while typing automatically)

      I think I will veto this one unless there is a good reason for this feature. A lot of the search bars (eg. community search) already does this. It’s only the “Search all” function that doesn’t do this. When you expand the search bar, you can’t see much until you close it anyways so it feels like it wouldn’t improve the search experience much at the cost of a lot more network calls.

        Okay, no problem

    Hey, kbin is dead, maybe mbin? Also, there is no easy way to move between feeds for now (that I know of). So maybe a swipe or something like it, would be nice to have

      For subscribed/bookmarked feeds, you can swipe right to open your list of feeds and then tap on any of them to switch. However this option only exists for feeds that are subscribed or bookmarked. Does this option work well for you? If not could you please provide some more context on your use case/how you usually use the app? This would help me think of solutions for it. Thank you!

        Oh, I think I wasn’t clear. I meant the “all/local/subscribed” feeds

          Oh actually the app doesn’t treat these feeds as anything special. You can bookmark them as you’d like and they will appear in the left pane. This is done on purpose so users can bookmark what they like to use so it’s easier to access for them while still giving all users the choice to also not bookmark them if they don’t use them.

          For instance:

            How do I bookmark it? 😅

              Open the feed you want to bookmark. Then tap the 3 dots button to open the menu and tap bookmark.
