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.

Strange layout in bottom buttons (lemm.ee)

It looks like text wraps because it is too long, this ends up looking a bit off. Perhaps you can try scaling it down to fit the monitor width.

Cheers,

Hadriscus

Localization is hard

On one hand, you'd want a unified design with the same font size, spacing and kerning, on the other hand... Well, this happens

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same font size between menu items, sure, but not between languages. I'd be perfectly fine with a smaller font size so as to accomodate the entire text. It doesn't have to be hardcoded either, I think.

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

Same size across the board would be ideal, but that obviously can't happen. Could also try and find different translations that are shorter

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Good idea, I contributed a couple

[–] kat@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can deactivate this text in the settings. I did the same because the German translation has the same issue.

[–] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has been fixed for German though.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, in the meantime I switched to english.

[–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there is an issue on github about that

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'll chime in

[–] maniel@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

At least center it maybe?

[–] Frederic@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree, in French language the bottom text are wrapped up for 1 character, same here.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I suggested alternate words for the two problematic entries, what do you think ?

Good, but the old text with smaller font is pretty good too, I'll vote for the smaller font
