I just downloaded the latest version from Google Play. Looks great so far!

I'm currently using the FDroid app store for my install. For more timely updates would you suggest Google Play over FDroid? Or are the about equal?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Fdroid, but add the izzyondroid repo for the fastest updates for all my apps.

It's working great!

Hi, using the Google Play version I'm noticing that comment font size is significantly larger than the base app font size. Is there any way to align these or decouple them to be adjusted separately?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately I'm scaling them together. It has to do with the markdown renderer I'm using, being older and not made to suit jetpack compose very well, but also being the only one that supports images. I have a PR for a different renderer, but it doesn't support images the last time I checked.

Ah, I would have liked that too, I hope it can be done later.

Using the alpha on my tablet it runs pretty chuggy. Better than it was before but still seems to be eating a lot of system resources.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Could be a weird issue with one of the dependencies I updated, but it seems fast on my two devices. So it might just be that you need to use it for a few minutes so it "warms up". That strangely is an actual thing with android.

Oh wow, thank you, I love your app

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Glad you like it!

Your dog looks a little bit like a fruit bat. Too bad you can't see this.

[-] kinther@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I'm using it right now! Thank you kind dev, you've made my day.

Another step closer to a great app :)

One of my main gripes with Jerboa is the odd and unnerving white flashing on every page change. What's up with that?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Not really sure. I'm not doing any special transitions between screens code-wise, just the standard jetpack compose ones.

It didn't occur to me that this might be a bug. Seems more like a way to indicate that the app is loading something from the internet. In fact, when it doesn't do that it feels strange to me, like when refreshing your inbox.

[-] tmpod@lemmy.pt 2 points 2 years ago

I believe a spinner is more common for that (and I fact, is used somewhere else on the app).
In reality, I think the transitions are so fast in a lot of cases because all the data is already fetched (at least partially) so it doesn't even hit the server. Not sure though.

Jerboa

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
