I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through).
Here's some of the changes I've noticed:
Profile picture next to username in top right
Comments can now be sorted by "top"
Larger image preview when uploading an image
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the "Create your own instance" box
Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
New theme: Tokyo Night
This is just what I've seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there's anything I've missed!
Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that's huge!
Great work guys, really happy with how many tweaks, bug fixes and be additions we got in. Super super keen to get the click to toggle comment functionally in (love it on mobile) along with some of the new bigger pieces
lol I got super confused cos I could've SWORN your PR that you're working on atm about user profiles was merged already, but after the update the 2nd display name is still there....so I was like, did anything change? when did the commits go up to? and then I realized this PR isn't merged yet and heavily 🤦♀️
Thanks for the updates Ernest, just fyi I had to delete the pwa I had for kbin and reinstall it to get the updates. Maybe have to adjust something in your manifest to auto update? I'll take a look at code later. Really happy so far tho, the screen lock is a life saver!!
The manifest is a pain. Apparently even updating the theme_color should be enough to force chrome to download a new version and update the local client, but that can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so 😰
I've found deleting it and reinstalling thankfully works and now shows the fancy icon on Android
Things I'm particularly proud of include the new language filtering setting, the lnf changes (compact mode on a tablet feels niiice) and the markdown improvements - hopefully everyones community links will work now!
Thank you! There it was - that's surely not the most optimal placement of that setting. I was looking at my profile, and settings to no avail.
Cheers /u/ozen
I'll have to have a look at the site when I've cleared caches. The language should really match the one used by your browser, not a great look if this is actually defaulting to polish for new users who come across the site :o
I previously had a problem on mobile that, even if I set my default homepage to Subscribed, it would still revert back to All. That seems to be fixed now too.
Increasing the size of the text in the settings no longer causes posts to leak off into inaccessible areas of the page in the iOS web app. As an iPhone Mini user, I particularly appreciate this change. I can finally increase the text size to a more comfortable reading level.
It's something that you wouldn't have seen unless you created a magazine (or community). In the magazine settings, there's a tab to view statistics like the number of posts, comments, and votes made per day. Before the update, all of the graphs were in Polish, so they were impossible to interpret without google translate. But now, they're properly translated into the language that you use
You might also have to remove the PWA and reinstall it, at least on Android that's what I had to do to get the newly polished full width icon + the shortcut icons / theme colors to work.
I think html now may work in our profiles. I have a referral link to my mastodon account in my profile and it's always just shown up as the text, now after the update the code actually is recognize and showing up as a link (albeit, broken lol).
Edit: Fixed, def works at least for embedding a link.
Edit 2: Full on html, got a marquee tag working too lol
Yeah I had to fix it anyway cause kbin didn't like the quotes in the url, but removing it fixed everything. Plus I got it marquee'ing for true 90's fashion lol
I was pleasantly surprised to see the new updates (and that the old userscripts that add stuff like collapsing comments still worked), I immediately started searching for patch notes or sth but couldn't find any, so thanks for this thread 😁
This was a wonderful update! But I seem to have come across a bug while browsing kbin as a PWA using Firefox on Android. The button for expanding posts seem to be overlayed by the boost button. Whenever I click to expand, the post is getting boosted instead.
Still overrides my locked rotation, though. Oh well 😅
Really looking forward to seeing what all's changed and I d'awww-ed at my little new icon. I was kinda thinking the work would last for several more hours, so I'm very happy to see it back already
Edit: Important update for anyone on mobile, the kbin logo now takes me to Home! The hamburger menu has an acceptable hitbox again!
The rotation thing was fixed but typically phones only update the PWA manifests every now and then. Quick and easy win would be to reinstall it. That'll force a fetch.
The kbin logo not linking directly to home was probably one of my top UI gripes. I'm glad to see it get changed. Still hoping there will be an easier way to bring up the list of subscribed magazines.
I had to re-install my PWA, but it now adheres to the rotation setting on my phone. I'm using a Samsung Android phone so it may depend on the OS.
