[v1.54.0] Feedback

I am planning on adding user feedback related things this update. A sub-goal of this release is to also increase the number of reviews/ratings on the play store in a noninvasive way. I think it's great that a lot of people are already giving feedback, I just wanted to increase awareness of the feedback system in place.

This release aims to surface the feedback option in various menus. The purpose of these changes are to help identify common pain points for users, give users an easy way to report these pain points and to increase visibility for feedback options.

The other planned change is to update the feedback system to make it easier to give feedback. This includes adding more shortcuts to things related to feedback.

Changes so far:

  • Fixed a bug where adding a comment when viewing a specific comment in a post will not show the newly added comment.
  • Handle links for more instances when a link is tapped outside of Summit. This change only affects Android 11 or below devices.
  • Auto-scale You screen header based on screen size.
  • Fix an issue where the upvote/downvote arrows are not colored for the compact layout.
  • Fix an issue where NSFW mode is not respected in some screens.
  • Improve the cache graph in the app (Settings > Cache) to show more details about disk space usage.
  • Fix padding issues with some buttons.
  • Improve mention suggestion heuristics.
  • Change message screen. When the context card is expanded, the app will automatically scroll to the relevant comment.
  • Improve load speed for You screen.
  • Add action errors count. A number badge will appear on the You navigation item if there are any action errors that have not been seen yet. This improves the visibility of action errors.

Update

Been sick since Friday. Nothing too serious but its making me sleep a lot. There is a good chance this release will take longer than usual.

  • Lots of nice QOL changes and fixes in this. Is there any rough ETA yet? I know you're sick, so absolutely understandable if you don't. Rest up and feel better soon man, you're doing gods work for this platform.

    • Release will probably happen on the weekend since thats usually when i am least busy.

  • My feedback is to allow post/comment actions by swiping to the right because I like to regularly switch hands I use to hold my phone and it would allow for more flexibility. :3

    I hope the request isn't too complicated. :x

    • This isn't hard to add. It just messages with some of the gestures of the app (eg. the bookmark bar). I'll add it to the roadmap.

  • I wanna make a recommendation

    Account statistics are 3x1 grid. May I recommend a 2d grid? The first 2 are on the top and the 3rd one is on the 2nd row, larger, so it can fit the stats better

    • I tested this before and it makes the header too large. I'll look into a way to make the text fit on smaller screens.
