There was a tiger just chilling by the observation area, in a very familiar pose. Sure enough, it's a common pose Sencha makes when he's resting.

Hello! I am back starting tomorrow.

First thoughts from looking over the app is I am probably going to table the preset work for the time being. It's been a long time since the last release and I fear that the preset work still needs more time.

Instead of continuing on the preset work, I think it would make more sense to work on it slowly over time as I work on addressing things in the roadmap. The roadmap has grown extremely large so I want to keep it from growing out of control.

Will probably aim for a release in the coming days just to push out some fixes for now.

Wanted to write this fast just so people know what's going on. I've been really busy recently with some events in my private life. It's really nothing serious, just annoying and time consuming. As a result I do not have time to work on the app for the next little while (my estimate is between 1 to 2 weeks). I'll post again when I'm unburdened.

At the time of writing Summit for Lemmy should be completely open source.

After a lot of contemplation I've decided to open source the app. There are still some changes that probably need to happen before it can be considered "FOSS" but this is a huge step I think.

As I'm voiced my opinions on this previously, the main repository for Summit will not be to the public for PRs. If you encounter bugs or have any feature requests please continue to send them through the proper channels (ideally to this community).

Enjoy~~

Update

Update here since it's been 2 weeks since the last update. I'm still busy working on the next release. It's just taking longer than expected due to the complexity of the feature I'm adding.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/26921774

The focus of this release is to add support for importing/exporting tables from the database of the app.

A lot of preferences/data, especially those that allow you to add to a list, are built on top of tables. Tables allows the app to scale better when lists can grow very long. Some features that use tables include drafts and bookmarked communities.

Currently while the app allows users to import/export settings, the app does not give the user any way to import/export anything backed by tables. This means not everything can be carried over by importing/exporting settings.

This release aims to give users a way to preview the database within the app and export them and import them with a high level of configurability.

This feature is a prerequisite of a larger feature which will be announced later.

Full changelog

• Add support to import/export app data that is stored in tables.
• Improve performance of "mark posts as read on scroll".
• Improve general scroll performance on the post feed screen.
• Updated community search result to show the full community name with instance.
• Remove malformed markdown fix which tried to correct malformed headlines by inserting a space between '#' and text if there wasn't one.
• Change open instance behavior. If the instance opened does not match the current account, the guest account is used automatically. This is to prevent the app from getting into a weird state.
• Fix a bug where links do not open correctly if the default browser app is Firefox.
• Fix a bug where the post feed header does not update when switching instances.
• Fix a bug where rate limit errors are not recognized correctly.
• Fix a bug where "mark posts as read on scroll" doesn't mark a post as read if the height of the post is taller than the screen.
• Fix a bug where the thumbnail shown in the "Save for later" bottom sheet do not update when a new image is chosen to replace an older one.
