This release updates the haptic feedback in the app, adding more haptic feedback to actions and adjusting some of the haptics that already exist. It also adds a new settings screen specifically for adjusting haptic feedback.

Full changelog

• Added a new settings page dedicated to haptic feedback.
• Added haptics to more actions.
• Adjusted strength of haptic feedback to be inline with Android's guidelines.
• Added a new experimental feature that automatically marks duplicate posts as read. A duplicate post is a post that has been posted to another instance that is essentially the same as a post that has been read. This feature is off by default.
• Fixed a bug where links cannot be opened if the preview link setting is set to "Preview all".
• Fixed a bug where thumbnails sometimes won't load.
• Fixed a bug where the last swipe action on a post is accidentally replayed.

Update

Noticed that not all thumbnail links were fixed. Pushing another release (v1.52.1) to fix even mo

This release polishes different aspects of the UI. The main changes are to improve contrast in various parts of the app for both light and dark themes.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to disable the text preview icon for certain post feed views.
• Added support for haptic feedback on action buttons in the post feed/post screen.
• Added a setting to enable/disable haptic feedback.
• Fixed a bug where shadow is cut off from the link button in a post.
• Experimental: Added special support for loops.video links.
• Improved the contrast for the search bar in light themes.
• Changed some image thumbnails to be rounded and also have a slight border for contrast.

I will be doing a release since the release contains a lot of QoL improvements so it makes sense to push this out sooner rather than later.

Full changelog

• Updated the behavior of the "go to" context button in the message inbox screen. Tapping the button to go to a comment will now load the post with just the comment chain by default, with the comment highlighted.
• Fixed a bug where tapping the add link button on the community editor will not actually insert a link.
• Changed the behavior of updating a community. The community info screen will auto-refresh if the community is updated.
• Fixed a bug where the colors used for the image viewer were wrong in light theme.

Welcome to possibly the last major release of the year! As the end of the year approaches, I am planning on taking a short break from developing Summit in favor of going out more and also catching up on some video games.

This update refreshes the layouts of the various card layouts in the app. It aims to make distinguishing between different cards easier and also improving the general look of things.

This update also fixes various bugs as well.

As this update changes the UI of the app, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the changes. Of course if you have feedback about the UI in any part of the app please feel free to post those too!

Full Changelog

• Updated designs for layouts Card, Card 2 and Card3.
• Fixed a bug where images within tables do not load.
• Fixed a bug where post data does not update after a comment is posted.
• Fixed a bug where post content will sometimes flicker even if nothing has changed.
• Fixed a bug where the shadows of the card layouts were cr

This is a pretty big release and there isn't really a theme. It's just a lot of features people have asked for. Enjoy!

P.S. this release changes some of the default settings in the app. In particular they enable multi-line headers in post comments and also profile pictures for the commenter. This is mostly due to screen space usage. After a ton of testing, I think these new defaults should make better use of the screen space and reduce issues with information being truncated. All of these changes can be reversed in the settings if you do not like them.

Full changelog

• Added "Change password" option to the account settings page.
• Added an option to only expand one comment thread when viewing a single comment.
• Added a setting to show/hide the scroll bar on the post feed.
• Added support for user tags.
• Changed the inbox message screen. Sending a reply on the message screen will cause the context screen to update with the comment once it is posted.
• Fixed a bug where comments

This release adds a new section to the app: the You screen. This screen will be a new default in the bottom navigation bar. It replaces both the history and saved options. The You screen will contain short cuts to a wide range of other parts of the app related to the user of the app. This includes links to settings, browsing history, saved, upvoted/downvoted and even drafts. Hopefully this screen will make certain feature easier to access and also easier to discover.

Full changelog

• Added a new "You" screen.
• Added new "Upvoted" and "Downvoted" screens to the You screen. These screens display a list of all posts/comments upvoted by the current account.
• Added a new "Drafts" screen to the You screen. This is meant to be a shortcut and a way to manage drafts.
• Disabled predictive back on Android 14. This is due to various bugs I found with predictive back on Android 14. Predictive back will be enabled on Android 15 devices.
• Added a setting in Settings > Post feed to modify the

This release implements the proposal discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/21570953.

This release overhauls the search screen to show subscribed communities and community suggestions based on what is popular or trending at the moment.

Note: Suggestions shown in the search screen will be based on data gathered from Lemmy servers (more precisely they are based off of https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer). They are not from data generated from the client. The app does not track/send data to any servers aside from Lemmy & Firebase (for crash/app stability tracking, you can opt-out in settings).

The backend portion that will drive community suggestions feature is open source. You can view it here: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy-server.

The backend is currently hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and costs $8/mo. If anyone wants to donate to help cover this cost that would be appreciated but otherwise I can swallow the cost as it's not a large amount.

**Full changelog

This update adds full support for the Android feature Predictive Back. Unfortunately this feature is only supported on newer versions of Android (Android 14 and above) so if you are on an older version of Android you will not notice a difference.

Full changelog

• Fixed a bug where changing accounts will not scroll the account list to the top.
• Added full support for predictive back. Note that this fixes several bugs that are only seen on Android 14.
• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update

I found some bugs in the release so I will be releasing a small bug fix update shortly. Changes:

• Fixed a bug where posts/comments are saved as a draft even if they are posted/sent.
• Fixed a bug on some devices where can get stuck in the compose comment screen.

Update 2

Fully rollout of the release is now complete.

First release since I've gotten back from vacation. This release addresses a good chunk of the user requests. There are some big ones left over that will be addressed in future releases.

Full changelog

• Updated the UI for the emoji picker.
• Updated the UI for deleted/removed posts so it has a distinct looked.
• Added a new setting to disable markdown parsing for post titles.

• Added a settings screen for the emoji picker, allowing users to modify or add emojis.
• Added a setting to adjust the image size in the post feed.

• Added missing translations for Czech, German, Hindi, Italian, Swedish, and Turkish using Google Cloud Translations.
• Cleaned up the settings for post/comment scores. Changed settings so that there is one setting for post scores and one for comment scores. There are three p

Welcome to v1.43.0. This release adds a feature I've thought about since the start of the project but just never implemented: account creation! In v1.43.0 new users to Lemmy will be able to go through the entire account creation process (minus email verification) from the app.

The hope with this feature is that it will help reduce Lemmy's sign up friction even further, especially for Summit users.

Full changelog

• Added a create account option to the sign in screen.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.
• Improved the current community UI
• Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The ap

I have some plans for v1.43 that I will add here later. For now, I'm just going to be doing some quick bug fixes. I've been fairly busy in my personal life outside of work so I haven't had as much time to work on Summit. Progress is still being made, just slightly slower. I will also be going on vacation from the beginning of October. My extreme stretch goal would be to release v1.43 well before I go on vacation so I have some time to polish the release before I'm on vacation but we shall see if that's feasible.

Changes so far

• Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
• Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
• Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
• Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.

Update

Whoops I accidentally put [Release] in

Last release added some features I wanted in the app. So to balance it out, this release will be focused on adding features users want.

I got a large influx of feature requests which is great.

Since there are so many feature requests I am going to break this release into multiple smaller parts. This way I can push out new features as they are implemented instead of doing a massive release all at once.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to control whether videos should auto-play. Default true.
• Added new comment count to posts.
• Added a view to the post screen if there are no comments.
• Added a setting to enable uploading images to Imgur.
• Added a setting to control how many animations are enabled within the app
• Added a setting to adjust the caching policy for the app. The options are aggressive, moderate (default), lite and minimum. Aggressive will cause the cache to be used more often resulting in better performance but things might be stale. Minimum will greatly reduce w

Welcome to v1.41.0. This release adds a feature I've wanted for a while now (but likely no one else wanted). This release adds the ability to record an advanced screenshot.

In some cases, posts and comments can contain animated GIFs. When taking screenshots of these, context may be lost because the GIF animation is removed. The record screenshot feature allows users to take a recording of a screenshot, preserving animated GIFs in posts or comments. The feature allows you to record a screenshot as either a GIF, MP4 or WEBM and contains a lot of configurable settings.

Note that this feature currently does not work for videos (eg. MP4s) in posts because the video player renders these in a specialized way that cannot be captured by the method used by the app.

Full changelog

• Added a feature to "record" a screenshot as a video or GIF.
• Added option to mark a post as read/unread in the post option's menu.
• Changed long tap on the header, expand button or the side to expand actions

The focus of this release is DMs. Direct messages have been difficult to manage and respond to in the past especially for message chains. This release cleans up the DM experience to make them much easier to use.

Full changelog

• Redesigned the DM experience.
• Changed messages in the inbox. Messages sent by you will no longer show up in inbox.
• Make it more obvious when loading in the inbox screen(s)
• Changed the "Mark as read" gesture to toggle the read state of the post. Eg. if a post is read and the gesture "Mark as read" is performed, the post will be marked as unread.
• Added a fade effect to the bottom screen when screens are stacked together. Eg. when viewing a post from the community feed.
• When viewing a reply message in the inbox, added a button in the context section to make it easier to see the post of the reply.
• Fixed a bug where the navigation bar does not highlight the correct item in certain cases.
• Fixed a bug where the open link button is visible when no i

This update focuses on general app improvements and bug fixes.

Full changelog

• Added new image loading animation.
• Improved styling on collapsed comments. Voting on a collapsed comment will update the score and cause the score color to change.

• Fixed a bug where the header text of a post would be cut off when using certain layouts.
• Fixed a bug where the link icon would appear on a post even if the post does not contain a link.
• Fixed a bug where paragraphs within a spoiler block may not be correctly formatted.
• Support subscripts in markdown (for_example)
• Fixed a bug where opening. closing and opening the same post will cause the post to not be highlighted when the post is closed.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes you can drag a blank window from the right side of the scr

This release adds the option to offline a post feed, giving you the freedom to browse while offline. The use case here is if you know ahead of time you are going to be offline you can download a feed beforehand and read it later.

This release also implements several user requests.

Full changelog

• When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
• Added a "Make available offline" button to make a feed available offline.
• Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.

v1.38.1

• Fixed a bug when viewing a post on another instance, tapping the switch instance button will not show an error message if the post cannot be found on your instance.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes posts are not mark as real on v0.19.5 instances.

v1.38.2

This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.

This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.

Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.

Full changelog

• Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
• Added support for community icons in the post feed.
• Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
• Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
• Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
• Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

Made a couple versioning mistak

This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.

The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.

When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.

This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.

Full changelog

• Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
• Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
• Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
• Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
• Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
