Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

A minor ui glitch(?)

When scrolling through posts I noticed that occasionally the post summary would slightly scroll up cropping the first line in the summary.

After playing with it for a few minutes, I can reproduce the behavior by pressing on the summary, holding the press and dragging left or right, continuing to hold the press and dragging up or down.

It seems I tend to scroll with a slight diagonal motion instead of a pure up and down motion.

Screen shots showing the glitch: The post in godot@programming.dev, the "hey guys..." line gets scrolled off screen with the "diagonal scroll motion"

Normal post look

Glitched look

Does your password have more than 60 chars? If that's the case, type only the first 60 chars. This should be fixed for the next version.

If not, let me know the error message.

Looking forward to trying this! I'm unable to log in on this account currently as there isn't a TOTP field :)

Only issue I'm having is random timeouts, but I think that just a lemmy thing in general. Nice app

I have never used boost for Reddit but I am posting from it right now and first impressions are IT IS AWESOME! An easy ad free purchase from me!

[โ€“] dylanme2001@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you! you have done an amazing job! ๐ŸŒท bought the app right away. Not a bug but a question / request : will you implement a 'History' tab in the sidebar, like there was in boost for reddit? I find it very useful having the ability to scroll through posts I've viewed but not saved.. especially after nights my mind wasn't so clear.. Thanks again rmayayo! ๐ŸŒท

I also can't seem to press and hold on taps for images when in the full-exapanded screen

[โ€“] kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wondering if you plan to add swipe left from the right side of the phone to go back to the last/prior comment page

[โ€“] midniter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you very much! I used Boost for Reddit, which was amazing, and I didn't use any app for Lemmy until this was released.

Is it possible to get an amoled dark theme? Thanks for all your hard work!

Images are able to be posted in comments. Ability to press and make them bigger would be useful.

Understood would be difficult with the press to collapse feature.

Just got it installed and set up! Looks great!

If I had one complaint it would be that mod tools are missing. :( Or if they are there, I can't find them. :)

Loving it so far! I'm glad Boost is back! I have one problem, though! I'd love to pay to remove the ads but when I press Remove Ads I get a screen with a blue background and "Remove Ads" right in the middle of the screen but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually pay to have the ads removed!

Other than that, it works really well. Feels very responsive, too!
