Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Enhancment request: Long-press hyperlink text to reveal destination URI (lemmy.cafe)

On mobile I use(d) Relay for Reddit browsing. The app has a feature that I miss in Jerboa.

In posts/comments, [hyperlinked text can be long-pressed to reveal the destination](hi there i am a URI to any other website) in a pop-up overlayed on the link (sorry, I don’t know the proper term for this UI tool) without actually opening to the link. Upon tapping off the pop-up, it closes and I tap on the URI to follow through to it, or not, as I wish. In Jerboa, pressing a hyperlink only opens it, site unseen (pun intended).

This change would be useful because sometimes I don't want to open the linked page, given the target (e.g. youtube, instagram).

In Jerboa I see no way of discovering the URI of a hyperlink without following to it, which would be convenient to avoid.

+1, this is a really essential feature

As well as showing the link, it would be good if there were options too (all of my examples are from Relay as that was the perfect app for me):

I liked a feature from RiF where, with a single tap on a link, you got a pop up showing the full url with the options to share/copy/go, and arrows to select the previous or next links if applicable.
God, I will miss that app

Edit: current behavior can be kept and the suggested pop up could be implemented for long press.
