First, features...

Swipe to hide!

This is a huge feature that has a lot of effort put into making it work flawlessly, even with hundreds of thousands of hidden items. So swipe away! All data is persisted locally per account. In the future, we'll add hide on scroll, and it should work really well with our performant storage implementation. Shoutout to burakcan for all your hard work on this :)

Comment dialogs now ask for confirmation before nuking your data

I can't tell you how much I hate software that loses your progress. When the new comment dialog was implemented, I though there would be about 5 people using wefwef, but now there are tons of you!

Care was taken to ensure you can continue to swipe away the comment dialog if no new content has been entered - for example, if you accidentally swipe to reply.

Care was also taken to confirm before closing a tab or navigating on desktop devices! So please try it out and let me know what you think!

Like browsing NSFW on iOS? This release is for you

Blurred items should be a LOT more snappy, now that blurring is being performed by the GPU.

MORE SPEED

More performance improvements thanks to a code refactor on how we present commonly used dialogs :)

Double tap search shortcut!

No longer reach all the way up to that search bar. 😎

ARM builds

I love seeing all the self-hosting! Now you can easily self-host wefwef on even more devices!

Special thanks to all contributors!

Crazybus, burakcan and aidankinzett! Thank you! 💙

Dude, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate wefwef and your constant improvements to it. This is great.

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This dev is my hero. And all the contributors too of course.

[–] UnanimousStargazer@feddit.nl 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The comment disgard confirmation is a life saver for those who type long comments. Thanks!

Would you consider prioritizing the following:

  • delete and edit newly created OPs
  • copy/paste to quote another comment
[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s select text, and yes edit delete posts is still coming 🙂

[–] UnanimousStargazer@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

There’s select text

Cool! Thanks.

How do you un-hide posts? I'm still getting used to the swiping and already accidentally hid a post that I wanted to read.

Great work mate, keep it up 👍

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

It looks nice, thanks!

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Crushin’ it, fam.

[–] Nourstakllairn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Everything does feel smoother.

[–] Prasaedonium@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amazing work, really pleased with the app

[–] ranger@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I am surprised by the speed of updates really like pwa concept won't be possible in normal app

[–] Animrast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you! Any chance we can also get a “swipe to save” feature in a future update?

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Configurable gestures is coming!

[–] amscan@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I just gasped aloud! Thank you!

[–] burak@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Enjoy hiding your posts people :)

Can we have an option to choose the language while commenting?

I was getting multiple error while replying for a comment, asking me to choose a language in lemmy profile settings (which didn't work) and the only way I could reply to that comment was choosing a language in the website while commenting.

Idk whether this might help you, but I tried using markdown on that comment.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there! I believe this is a lemmy bug. If you want a bit and retry posting your comment, it should work. Sorry about that!

[–] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for clarifying!

[–] Setnof@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice feature!

  1. Is there a place where I can see my recently hidden posts (to be able to unhide them)?

  2. Sometimes I see the GitHub banner while hiding a post.

[–] substill@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On your user accounts page, there’sa “hidden posts” option now.

[–] Setnof@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thx! Yeah I found that 1min after posting this…

[–] jazir5@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you please add the ability to click to collapse comments? I'm personally not a fan of swipe gestures.

[–] RemembertheApollo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seconded. As the platform grows it will become more and more important to collapse long comment chains that head off into tangents.

[–] Azurebalmunk@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird. I'm able to tap to collapse comments.

[–] kill_dash_nine@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Tap to collapse comments also working/still working here on iOS.

[–] NENathaniel@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

I still can't log in, keyboard won't stay open when I try to put in my instance url

[–] ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can someone explain why you'd want to hide a post? Is it to mark it as "read" or because you find it offensive or what?

[–] Tommy_the_Gun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, both of those. Apollo would hide posts on scroll, so you wouldn’t keep seeing the same things you already read.

[–] ILikeMultis@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't like it. Please make it an option to turn off.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good news: in the future there will be configurable swipe gestures!

[–] ILikeMultis@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot 🙏
