Hey all,
Today I've been working on implementing the inbox. This is still a work in progress, and I have been primarily focused on logic over UI today for this, so I know there's some issues with it right now. Here is what I know is meh:
- Only replies are operational right now. You cannot view messages or mentions yet
- Some comment chains don't show up when you press on the comment. I'll work on this tomorrow
- You are not automatically scrolled to the comment. I'll work on this tomorrow
- UI is not optimal. Like I said, this is still a work in progress
- Some other issues
Also, these fixes are included:
- Replying to a Kbin message should no longer cause a crash
- Memory leak that resulted from getting into deeply nested views is fixed
- Other crashes are fixed
In addition to:
- A makeshift "fix" in search. If you enter something@something.com, you'll be presented with the option to either go to that community or go to that user. I'll make this more friendly in the future.
I also know about one crash that is happening right now as a result of pressing some external links (deep links from what it looks like, i.e. links that should take you to another app). I'll look into this.
Like I said, this is still a work in progress and I'll make a lot of changes tomorrow. For now though, you can at least see what's going on in your inbox. Your "badge" count of replies will refresh every minute, so you can just pull-to-refresh on the inbox screen.
Thanks for all the feedback and support so far.
Happy scrolling!
@gkd (are we able to actually tag on lemmy? Or is that a feature apps need to address? /c/ is the community, is there a different /x/ for users?)
Anyway: feedback to the messages / inbox that might be under the “some other things”
But at least for me: my inbox works pretty well. Once updated it shows that I have 9 unread post replies in my inbox. But the unread count does not clear after reading them.
edit: I actually found out what was going on, the current setup is there is a mail icon that you have to manually click to mark it as read. @gkd are you able to add a method that reading / clicking into a message marks it as read (and then you can use the mail icon to manually mark as read or unread if needed?)
