    @aeharding@lemmy.world, I think you should pin this post. Some people stopped using voyager because they thought or were afraid that development had stopped. Those people are more likely to see this post if it is pinned which will lead to more people using voyager

      Wait, how come they think that?

        Lead/Main dev (aeharding) had gone on a fishing trip and then took a step back from voyager development beacuse other aspects of his life demanded his time and attention. Between this and the app not being updated in a while, some people panicked saying that the project had been abondened and moved to other apps in a more active stage of development

          I see… I knew he went on vacation, I didn’t know he stepped back a bit 🙂

            Well considering how much time he was spending during the early days of voyager (when it was called wefwef), he was bound to take a step back at some point. Better for people to take time for themselves then get burnt out

    Is there any update on having full screen swipe to go back?

    This app is great btw and thank you for all the time and effort you put into it.

        regex is short for regular expression. Basically, you can define a pattern that, if something matches, it gets filtered out. For example, someone might want all posts with email addresses filtered out (idk, I’m just trying to think of an example), so you could do something like:

        .+@.+\..+

        The period is a wildcard, so any character.

        + means one or more of whatever comes before it

        @ is literally the @ symbol

        \. means literally the period symbol

        So all together this means “one or more of any character followed by an @ symbol, followed by one or more of any character, followed by a period, followed by one or more of any character.”

        This would be a really rough regex to match an email address to filter it out.

        Disclaimer: this can definitely be done way better than my expression. This was meant to be a simple example and not something you should actually use. This would capture way more than just email addresses and probably match pretty much anything with an @ symbol, including user mentions.

    I was wondering what the Keyword blocking feature was all about, then I read this:

    “Begone, Elon/X spam!”

    …and now it’s my favorite Voyager feature! Thank you!!!

    Great work!

    I’m having a mildly annoying bug where the navigation bar at the bottom of the app disappears and flashes on and off when I scroll. I can still get to the different tabs by pressing on the black space. Happy to share any extra info if need be!
