Hey guys! Sorry for being AWOL for the past few days. I’ve been taking some personal time and stepped away for a bit. Going to be cleaning up some more stuff and pushing out some good stuff to you guys soon.

This build here - for real this time - offers significant performance enhancements. There is more to be done, but this is a great start.

Here’s some changes:

  • Hide username in the tab bar
  • Some context menu refactors
  • Add bug report option
  • We have replaced the old UI library with a new one. There are still some quirks to work out, and we will be handling those over the next few days. This offers quite a significant performance boost over the last library.
  • Using more stable variables to prevent unnecessary re-renders. This is one part of the performance improvements.
  • Fix infinite refreshing attempts of an empty community
  • Added option to delete posts. This was something I threw in tonight and will be finishing edit post tomorrow. I also have the mod tools ready to go, just a matter of adding them where they need to be in the menus
  • Comment chains are collapsed after either the first 4 2nd level comments or after 3 replies to a 2nd level comment. Much easier to scroll through comments now. This is a WIP so there might be issues. Let us know.
  • Added a comment jump button. Speaks for itself. Might have some issues and is still a WIP. Let us know if anything goes wrong
  • Should have fixed a few crashes that were getting reported while I was away.

Again, sorry for the downtime. I’ll be more active over the next week and we should see some big stuff.

    Yea, seems to be a bit of a scaling issue from the migration to the new UI library. We’ll get it fixed today :)

      You’re absolutely crushing it! Thank you so much for writing this app and I can’t wait to be able to subscribe to the app to support it.

      One FR for the backlog (no rush, I just stumbled on it while trying to find this very community): When you are looking at a user’s comment history, there isn’t a link to take you to the post itself or see the context of the comment.

      Thanks so much, once more, and you have made the migration to Lemmy such a pleasant one.

        This is actually a feature already, just commented out while I fixed up state stuff. I’ll have it back in there today.

          Really appreciate your reply. That issue is the only reason I’ve been using wefwef intermittently recently (the freezes in that “app” drive me crazy).

            Took most of the week off for personal time, but should be knocking out a bunch of stuff over the weekend and rolling out some of the final big things that are missing. Thanks for sticking around and waiting on us :)

              You’re absolutely entitled to and deserving of time off. I hope it was for positive reasons but if it wasn’t, my heart goes out to you.

              Just bought you 5 coffees on buymeacoffee for being a wonderful person.
