[2025] Roadmap (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 31 minutes ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world
 

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  • Extremely out of date version check?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 if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)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.
  • Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.
  • Revisit how settings (specifically Settings search) is implemented

Specific user requests

  • Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
  • Make the "actions bar" in the post list configurable.
  • Take screenshot from post feed.
  • Suggest/show previously created tags in tagging dialog.
  • More video player settings: hide ui elements when play selected, tap anywhere to play/pause video.
  • 3rd option instead of always hiding or always showing avatars: show avatar if set.
  • Adjust spacing between posts in posts feed.
  • Add setting to make it so that tapping the thumbnail image in list layouts will open the link instead of loading the post below it.
  • Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
  • Filter posts based on domain of URL.
  • Reselect "Search" in bottom bar to focus on search bar.
  • Setting to inline images only in DMs.
  • Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
  • Support viewing crossposts of a post.

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

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

Completed

  • Add haptic feedback to some actions such as voting and posting/commenting
  • Do not retry on send comment/post errors. Offer a way to retry sending a comment/post.
  • Add a setting to disable/enable parsing 4 numbers separated by dots as ip addresses. This is currently always enabled in the app.
  • Full content layout but with cards.
  • Add an optional "header" design to the community feed. Make the header configurable.
  • Add a setting to change the behavior of long pressing ... button in the post screen.
  • Feature to allow user to swipe to go to next post.
  • Add setting to enable/disable text in bottom nav.
  • Support opening instance links in-app. Eg. https://ttrpg.network/
  • Add setting to show a label for accounts that are new.
  • Allow gestures to work in both directions.
  • Make defaults for videos configurable. Eg. Default volume in the post feed.
  • Share button in the community info screen.
  • Add setting to choose default browser.
  • Add something in the settings that instructs the user on how to change the app language.
  • Add setting to disable suggestions in the community selector sheet.
  • Load more posts when reach end of posts when swiping between posts.
  • Add setting to not use full bleed images in full post views.
  • Add share option to screenshot screen.

Ooh, I feel dumb. I was tapping "Open link", didn't notice that the "tap to open in app" was itself tappable.

Thank you a bunch!

I admit the UI itself can be improved. I'll leave myself a note to take a look for a future release.
