I use jerboa for lemmy. Not sure how different it is though. Never used that webapp
I find that jerboa has some missing features that are there in the web app. Things like being able to go from a comment in your inbox to that same comment in context in it’s thread.
Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn’t already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.
Nice to hear that it’s active
Actually I ran a current development build of the app which seems to have the feature already. There is a small chain icon next to the vote arrows which jumps to the comment and it’s parent and allows to load even more context. So maybe it will ship in the next app update when release :)
Oh yeah, you’re right. The main version has it too.
Have you written for the app before? How did yiu find it? I took a very quick look and plan to try working on it at some point but I don’t know kotlin at all. It’ll take some spinup for me.
Yes, I made two small contributions till now. The maintainers seem pretty responsive when new PRs are opened and open to the stuff people are adding. Did not have a thorough look through all the code of the app yet but what I have seen seems structured quite good and I look forward to working more with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Am a Java Dev for work, quite some time since I last worked on an Android App but making small contributions first should get you started
I’ll give it a shot as I have time. I’m primarily a Python developer with experience in Go, C, and a smattering of other languages. Should be easy enough to learn enough to contribute some small PRs.
Think so too, good luck 👍
It does have that feature already, you need to press the link button in the inbox below the comment.
That works for you in the app? It works for me on the web but not in the app.
I’ve been doing it in the Jerboa app.
Edit: I lied, it’s not directly from my inbox. NVM. I go to the commenter’s comments and go to the context from there. The comment is usually first or second on their list, so it’s not hard to find. But yeah, extra steps. I wish I could reply from the inbox in general.
Someone else pointed out that the dev version of the app may have this feature now, so this feature should be coming pretty soon!
Thanks! Right now I am willing to give devs all kinds of slack on what features they offer. They have their hands full with the massive growth the last couple weeks, and I am perfectly happy waiting.
So it’s not just me? Thank God, it’s so annoying.
Just encountered that for the first time with this comment lmao
I’m primarily using the pwa for now. Jerboa has a nicer UI in most cases, but pwa is a lot smoother, less buggy, and external links open up a lot faster. Also, jerboa has a bunch of minor annyonaces, like trying to select text and it keeps minimizing the comment instead, or how it opens Lemmy links in an external browser.
A bit more devtime and I’ll switch to it, especially if they add a feature to group multiple communities in a single entry.
