Summit is still in it’s infancy in terms of featured and there is a lot to get done.
Here is my current plans for various features. As always, feel free to give feedback about priorities, what additional work to add, etc.
Plan (in chronological order)
- Add support for multiple accounts/account switching
- Implement communities pane.
- Implement the ability to comment, edit and delete comments from the app.
- Implement URL handling/url linking. (Eg. open any Lemmy url in the app).
- Implement browsing history.
- Implement a more robust caching/offlining system (currently the app kind of just stuffs everything in a folder and calls it a day)
- Implement the ability to create posts.
- Implement various app settings.
- Implement account feeds (eg. unreads).
- User page
- Implement account settings.
- Implement “saved”/bookmarks.
- Implement community info pane.
- Blocklist
[ We are here ]
In addition to the core features planned above, some other planned features are listed below.
Planned features that are non-core might not be implemented until core features are complete, however if I get bored I might implement one here or there while working on core features. If you want a specific feature and don’t see it in either list, please feel free to make a post or comment about it.
- Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
- Theming (currently plan are some set themes + material you).
Setting to toggle infinite scrolling- Text searching on the current page
- Mod controls
- Full account controls (eg. account control feature parity with web)

- The ability to create communities/edit communities
View other user’s profiles- All the search (search profiles, search text, search comments, search posts, etc etc)

- Settings for anything configurable. Eg:
- Hide page indicator

- Changing the font. Changing font size.
- Change default sort mode.
- Enable a button that will move you to the next or previous top comment (apparently a feature from Boost?)

- Support kbin?
Thank you for your work!
Please is there a way to change the AMOLED black background to just dark?
Not at the moment. This will need to be implemented at part of the theme update when we get there.
The amoled background is not good on the eyes with the bright white texts.
I need to make some time for this. I can take a look at how much work it will be
I’m still waiting mate
It ended up not being a huge amount of work. Since I need to add support for 2fa anyways a release is already on the way to add a less dark default theme. The black theme still exists in the app, just as an additional setting.
- Would it be possible to add swipe up to dismiss the image? Currently only swipe down to dismiss works.
- Ability to change default post sort
- Is pretty easy to do so I can add that for the next update. 2. I’ll put on the roadmap for now.
Forgot to update this but default post sort should be working now. You can change the default in your account settings. Ie. Tap on your profile icon (top right), tap the setting icon next to your account.

You are correct. That feature has not been implemented yet.
Hi Dev,
Can you add support for custom tabs? Thanks!
I don’t know what custom tabs are. Can you please explain what that is? Thank you.
Custom tabs are browser tabs opened “in app”, you won’t leave Summit when opening a link in a custom tab.
So basically you have 3 options, open “in app” using Android’s WebView, open a custom tab using the default browser, or open externally on the default browser.
Custom tabs are in between and the advantage is that you don’t leave the app but the tab is created, I think, by the default browser so if using Firefox with uBlock Origin it’ll also work on the custom tab.
Oh whoops. I actually added the custom tabs library a long time ago but I never used it. It looks like a small change so I can add it for the next update.
That’d be great! Thanks
Not sure if this belongs here but, can you increase the nsfw blur? Or add an option?Was scrolling and it was very obvious what some of these images were.
Yeah I noticed this too. I’ll look into a fix for the next update.
