  • Oh hey you added in the comment stuff! It’s great for an initial release, though it definitely does need some refinement to be easily useable.

    • Comment feature buttons
      • They mostly work well, and look great! But tapping a comment does push the entire comment down as the buttons on top appear. Versus the ideal behavior of the comment position remaining absolute, and the buttons appear relative to it
      • Also, on narrow screens, the Next button does get pushed off a little bit
    • Done
      • Functions as expected, hides the extra buttons from the active comment
    • Hide
      • Correctly hides the comment when tapped
    • Show
      • This shouldn’t need to exist, as tapping on a hidden comment should automatically show it
    • Prev
      • Correctly activates the previous top comment, and shows the selected comment features. UI moves the selected comment just off-screen, so you have to scroll down some more to see it, even if it was already on-screen
    • Next
      • Same issues as the Prev button, comment selection is correct, but off-screen

  • Thanks for being so responsive! I tried out that setting just now and it’s not quite what I mean in terms of UX. To preface: I’m not trying to make your app a clone of RIF which I heavily used, and your app does feel the most similar to that for me so do what you will with my feedback.

    My main issue with the way Connect currently behaves is if I wanted to collapse the first few comments after returning to a post, I’d have to either toggle the setting to tap each comment to hide them all, before toggling it again so that I can interact with the comments normally, such as voting, bookmarking, sharing, etc. Whereas, if the options were available all at once when tapping on a comment, I can do everything in two taps, versus one or the other, with two taps, or waiting for a long tap to process.

    As stated previously, I know screen real estate is at a premium for some devices, so cramming more buttons below each comment is not necessarily ideal. But what RIF did well, was including these features all at once to the user when the comment was tapped, by displaying extra action buttons above the selected post, in addition to the normal interaction buttons below the post. See the screenshot attached below:

    Edit: To add to this, after rereading that post, I’d like to make the distinction that I mean collapse a comment, everywhere I say the word hide. As there are many times I’d like to reread comments if new replies are posted below them, and I’ve yet to figure out how to unhide comments after testing the hide feature out.

    Edit 2: Also just noticed a bug. Viewing the community info displays Subscribe for all instances, regardless of actual subscription state.





  • Hello, I just heard about this app and tried it out. It’s instantly become my favorite as being most similar to RIF of the ones I’ve tried. I figured posting feedback and bugs to the current release thread will keep things the most organized.

    [Bug] Post titles do not display for me (Galaxy Fold 4) in open/closed mode. I’ve tried toggling through the various themes and post view styles with no luck. Screenshot

    [Request] When clicking on a comment, it expands to display ways to interact with it. If you click on another comment, the options for the previous comment remain visible. The “ActiveComment” should be the only one with visible options to conserve screen space.
