We hear your concerns about dark mode and will address these.
Swipe actions against posts don't always update the post's icons.
What's coming
iOS and Android full release! We'll keep test flight and early access going for beta testers!
I'm using it on a Linux laptop. The swipe gestures on a multi-point touchpad is simply the most intuitive and user friendly navigation I've experienced natively from any Linux application ever.
I just discovered Liftoff today, and I like its minimalistic design. However I noticed that some random NSFW images in my timeline won’t load, as you can see in the screenshot. These posts display fine in other apps. Maybe this is something you could look into.
Love the swipe actions! This might already be planned, but one thing I've seen with other Apps is haptic feedback during swipe, as you go from no action to action #1 to action #2.
One thought - I wonder if dark mode is a little too dark, could maybe do with being slightly grey/blue and have post shadows off by default (but on in light mode). Love the green dividers in amold mode!
Ah it finally rolled out to me, I love the swipe gestures! Only additional requests with swipes is to be able to customize the actions, have haptic feedback, and toggle on/off.
I'd love to be able to short swipe to upvote + long swipe to downvote. I had it set up that way on Apollo for years and it would be such a big QOL thing for me lol. (example)
Some misc things:
highlighted text shows cut/copy/paste but not replace, look up, translate, etc. (screenshots)
Please add a way to disable swipe actions. I've been bouncing between 4 different apps, and I thought Liftoff already had them and I disabled them, but they came back overnight, but I guess you're saying they're new. Please add a way to disable them. I really don't like them. I trigger them all the time by accident, randomly voting on or saving things.
I'm going to join the gang of dark mode is too dark.
I see that it splits the comments in half, so maybe if it is possible to add a grey mode that looks like the old dark mode, both sides could be happy.
I use dark mode as much as possible, but this dark mode is migraine inducing to me due to the white on black colorscheme.
