Thank you for all the github issue and feature requests. You all help me see things and have ideas I wouldn't of been able to. If no more major bugs come up this will be the last for a few days while I start working on additional new features.

[–] xnx@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Could these additions be submitted to the official ui?

[–] JonVonBasslake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So is this the equivalent of RES for lemmy?

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, I was definitely a RES user and a RIF user. This is something that I missed from those apps. So definitely inspired but this is an amateur attempt early in development. I hope you enjoy!

[–] JonVonBasslake@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I will have to try and remember once i'm back on pc and not on a phone

[–] Lid@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 1 year ago

Kindaish. You can think of it that way 😊 it's definitely in the same category.

[–] Weazel@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I appreciate the work you put into this, but please write better commit messages. It's super unhelpful to write "updated file.xyz" in every commit message. Describe what you did. That way it's way easier for people to help out because they can see what you did so they don't waste time fixing the stuff you already fixed yourself.

Besides that thank you for your work. <3

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For sure, I am legit new to all of this CI/CD,git stuff so It's a lot to learn. Thank you very much. I will try and add more descriptive commit messages.

[–] jjagaimo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fr, my repo has 15 commits in a row just for updating the workflow yml files to get 1 feature working

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago

I work as a Sysadmin running CI/CD platforms... not developing myself! haha!

[–] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Tagging for later

[–] andybug@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Looks cool! I'll give it a spin in ViolentMonkey tomorrow and report any issues.

[–] NoisyFlake@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hm, I'm still having issues with resizing images:

  • When starting to resize, the image starts from a much smaller size than what is currently shown
  • Images can't be resized a second time once you have let go of the mouse button once

Thanks for taking the time to make Lemmy usable!

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got all the image expand funkiness this fixed (I think) I should release it ~~later tonight~~ Maybe tomorrow! . Also implementing another behavior for the sidebar where it is minimized by default unless you choose to keep it open. I personally like it open all the time on desktop but mobile or other people might like it minimized (that way if you open a new lemmy page it doesn't pop open automatically).

Version 0.1.2.3 should be the fix

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the report. I see both of these issues. Can fix I'm sure! I'm doing this as a learning experience and for fun so I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me what your seeing. And you are welcome! Ive been off reddit almost a month now and doing this for Lemmy is something I believe in!

[–] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thanks.

On an app just now, but will check this out tomorrow.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is really cool, thanks! By chance is there an option to keep the side toolbar minimized by default?

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago

Going to add it! As is if you turn on hover to activate it works sorta like how you want. I will be adding it in though! Thank you.

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will be in the next version 0.1.2.3 .. hopefully out tonight.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow, that was a really quick turnaround - and for the perfect version number too!

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago

No worries. Honestly only spent a couple hours today. I just code when my child is asleep... 😇

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gonna keep it till tomorrow. Still some stuff I'm not quite happy with. Just wanted to let you know.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 1 year ago

No worries, I appreciate the update!

[–] fleece@pawb.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anyone have any issues with Auto Expanding Images not auto expanding the images? I still need to have a separate extension installed to make all the inline images expand without interaction, but I may have something misconfigured

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you on the latest? 0.1.2.5?

[–] fleece@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like I am! Still no luck

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you have it turned on in the option page? You click once to expand the image from the post thumbnail and then you can click and drag that expanded image to manually expand it. Check also that the auto expand value is like 50 or something. Also, if your on mobile it doesn't work.

[–] fleece@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh interesting, I think I was confused about the intended functionality. I thought "Auto-Expand" meant all the expandable images would be loaded when the page loads, kind of like the "show all images" button in RES

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No auto expands to full size on thumbnail click but what your talking about is doable. I've never even considered that functionally before. I never used that in res! I'll see about adding it!

[–] fleece@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

You would definitely have one very happy user if you did!

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 1 points 1 year ago

Auto expand value of 100 will open it as big as the Lemmy theme allows (or the image size)
