Summit is still in it’s infancy in terms of featured and there is a lot to get done.

Here is my current plans for various features. As always, feel free to give feedback about priorities, what additional work to add, etc.

Plan (in chronological order)

  • Add support for multiple accounts/account switching
  • Implement communities pane.
  • Implement the ability to comment, edit and delete comments from the app.
  • Implement URL handling/url linking. (Eg. open any Lemmy url in the app).
  • Implement browsing history.
  • Implement a more robust caching/offlining system (currently the app kind of just stuffs everything in a folder and calls it a day)
  • Implement the ability to create posts.
  • Implement various app settings.
  • Implement account feeds (eg. unreads).
  • User page
  • Implement account settings.
  • Implement “saved”/bookmarks.
  • Implement community info pane.
  • Blocklist

[ We are here ]

In addition to the core features planned above, some other planned features are listed below.

Planned features that are non-core might not be implemented until core features are complete, however if I get bored I might implement one here or there while working on core features. If you want a specific feature and don’t see it in either list, please feel free to make a post or comment about it.

  • Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
  • Theming (currently plan are some set themes + material you).
  • Setting to toggle infinite scrolling
  • Text searching on the current page
  • Mod controls
  • Full account controls (eg. account control feature parity with web)
  • Inbox
  • Compact mode (all controls hidden, tap to show)
  • The ability to create communities/edit communities
  • View other user’s profiles
  • All the search (search profiles, search text, search comments, search posts, etc etc)
  • Notifications/Push notifications
  • Settings for anything configurable. Eg:
    • Hide page indicator
    • Color coded comment level indicator
    • Changing the font. Changing font size.
    • Change default sort mode.
    • Enable a button that will move you to the next or previous top comment (apparently a feature from Boost?)

    1. Would it be possible to add swipe up to dismiss the image? Currently only swipe down to dismiss works.
    2. Ability to change default post sort

      Forgot to update this but default post sort should be working now. You can change the default in your account settings. Ie. Tap on your profile icon (top right), tap the setting icon next to your account.

          It ended up not being a huge amount of work. Since I need to add support for 2fa anyways a release is already on the way to add a less dark default theme. The black theme still exists in the app, just as an additional setting.

    I see that the search bar can be used to find communities — how do I search profiles? I assume it hasn’t been implemented yet, or maybe I’m missing something?

    Not sure if this belongs here but, can you increase the nsfw blur? Or add an option?Was scrolling and it was very obvious what some of these images were.

        Custom tabs are browser tabs opened “in app”, you won’t leave Summit when opening a link in a custom tab.

        So basically you have 3 options, open “in app” using Android’s WebView, open a custom tab using the default browser, or open externally on the default browser.

        Custom tabs are in between and the advantage is that you don’t leave the app but the tab is created, I think, by the default browser so if using Firefox with uBlock Origin it’ll also work on the custom tab.

          Oh whoops. I actually added the custom tabs library a long time ago but I never used it. It looks like a small change so I can add it for the next update.
