Hello! I haven’t posted in a while so I wanted to give a quick update on what is going on with the app.
The next feature I’m working on is quite large. Its offline support which aims to make the app usable offline… to a degree. This feature is going to be made up of several different parts including features to download certain content in advance and have the app respond to network changes.
In addition to this feature I am also working on some physical projects since it is summer where I am. I had a lot of yard work planned for this year so I’m also spending a lot of my free time with that. Due to this and the size of the next update, the next update will likely take a little longer.
Changes so far:
- Changed bookmark button to reflect the current state. Eg. if the post is already bookmarked then the bookmark icon is filled.
- When opening a link to a post on a different instance, added a banner to explaining the instance mismatch and also have an option to switch instances. Also added a loading spinner when switching instances in this way.
- Added a “Make available offline” button to make a feed available offline.
I was working in the backyard yesterday. Did around ~5 hours of work in 32C weather. It was terrible.
I can understand mate.
Keep that jar of lemonade nearby🥵 .
It would be a fun activity, if kids also participate.
Mine enjoy if I do some work around the house and they can get dirty.
