Too much has changed since Roadmap V2 was created. So we are starting fresh again to clean up the clutter!

If you have any feature requests, please feel free to comment them here.

Planned changes

  • Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
  • Setup wizard.
  • Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
  • Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.

Specific user requests

  • Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
  • When making posts under less-than-ideal clients side network conditions/unstable server conditions, the post can sometimes become many times duplicated, potentially by some retrying mechanism. This can be a bit of a mess, and it would be nice if retries were for non-mutating API calls only, or if possible from the Lemmy server’s side, add idempotency so that duplicates get discarded.
  • Add haptic feedback to some actions such as voting and posting/commenting

Stretch features (nice to have but I need to do more research)

  • Possible integration with mastodon/? (needs research)
  • Support kbin?
  • Sync between devices?

Completed features

  • Support sending content to the app to use for later.
  • Add “reason” for mod actions.
  • Add option to reordering comment/post format tools
  • Support switching instances to any instance (even if you are not sign into that instance).
  • Add new top level screen which displays your user profile.
  • Add support for tablets.
  • Add a way to customize the comment menu (the menu that has the overflow, add comment button and upvote/downvote buttons).
  • In the multi-community build, indicate which communities you’ve subscribed to. Also list subscribed communities maybe by default or have some way to only see subscribed communities.
  • Comment filters (by keyword)
  • Add a way to customize the post quick actions menu.
  • Notifications/Push notifications
  • Mod actions.
  • Create & edit communities
  • Add a way to make one action easy to access. Eg. a way to do one tap hide read.
  • Show publish and modified date in the post header/comment header
  • Add option to hide all controls by default when in image viewer.
  • Multi-instance feeds support (eg. Subscribed communities from multiple accounts)
  • Support for locales other than English
  • NSFW mode
  • Update bookmark icon based on whether the item is currently bookmarked or not
  • Improve controls for post instance switching. Consider things like: adding a banner when the post is not the same instance as the account, better messaging around instance inconsistencies and switching freely between instances on a post.
  • Better DM UI
  • Screenshot gifs
  • Dim read posts.
  • add a setting to disable/control how many animations play in the app
  • add a way to see all comments in a comment chain when commenting
  • add a way to adjust the cache policy
  • Combine score related settings to be a enum with values (1) hide scores, (2) show scores (3) show up and down votes.
  • Modify the emoji pack
  • Toggle to disable rendering post titles with markdown. Reasoning given: some titles have hashtags meant to mean “number” and not “header”.
  • Copy comment button.
  • Add a way to “go to” a lemmy link. (Useful if the user is viewing lemmy on the browser and wants to see that page in the app).
  • Add a setting to adjust the size of the image icons for post view layouts that are not full width.
  • quick access to subscribed communities by one tap instead of tap on home and swipe. (Suggestion was to add subscribed communities to the search page) (I’m holding off on implementing this one for now because I have some cool solutions here but it will take a long time to implement)
  • Add upvoted/downvoted posts and comments to saved.
  • Some users like to work on multiple posts at the same time, possibly over a long period of time. The request here is a better draft system so managing drafts is easier for this use case.
  • Change homepage from settings.
  • Mark post unread
  • Tag users
  • Change login information in the app
  • When replying on the view comment reply from inbox-screen, when submitting response, the screen does not update with the new comment.
  • Added a setting to show/hide the scroll bar on the post feed.
  • Added an option to only expand one comment thread when viewing a single comment.
  • Update post when comment is posted. This issue is most apparently when commenting on a post with 0 comments as posting a comment will not cause the comment count to update to 1.
