Still loving Connect as my default Lemmy client but this post does highlight some things that could use improvement

  • Hi, glad you're loving Connect! I pushed an update yesterday (v187) that should address the markdown issues noted. Hopefully @[email protected] will update at some point :)

    • 10/10 now! 🎉
      Thanks for the updates.

    • Wow, great work!

      Personally, I don't love the spoiler text being hidden instead of collapsed, but that seems like more of a style choice than function issue. It shows and hides as it should.

      I know for sure that there are communities who would appreciate spoilers in this style and I hope that they find your app!

      • Yeah, there also seems to be a bit of an issue with formatting embedded inside spoilers. In your comment there are inline images in a spoiler block. They load on the web, but not in Connect. I wonder how other apps deal with that. Maybe another round of testing is in order soon!

        I think it'd be nice to have the hidden block if the text is just one line, but if there are images or many lines then just make it expandable and load images when opened. I have no idea how much work that is to implement though.
