Oh dang, I hadn’t even noticed till you pointed it out. It’s just so natural.
Well done!
-
What does this refer to? I haven’t seen any changes since this morning. Definitely 5*’d it easier though. Love this.
-

Too bad I'm mostly up voting so I don't get to see the smooth transition that often
-
Tangentially - It’s kinda refreshing to see how many 0 downvotes comments have on here. Are downvotes hidden or are people nicer here?

I have to say I was expecting configurable swiping like collapse comment trees (swipe left) and go back (swipe right) that I’ve been using in Apollo. I keep (down)voting on accident.
I’d rather be able to vote only by tapping arrows which atm collapses the comment.

Hey all. I’m the dude who implemented the new vote animations and really appreciate all the love it’s getting. I’m hearing two main pain points in the posts today:
- Some people are finding it difficult to swipe to go back.
- Some people would like to disable it entirely.
Both understandable. Swipeable rows can sometimes impede a nav-back gesture unless you’re swiping from the very edge of the screen. I’ve seen a couple techniques to try and help with this which i can investigate.
As for point 2, I’ll leave the prioritization of that up to @gk, but the plus side is from an implementation perspective it will be very simple to do.
There’s a couple other small improvements I’d like to make to the voting/commenting animations as well. One should help with devices which either dont have haptic or have it disabled.
Cheers!

Unless you use an ipad that has no haptic feedback. I keep downvoting things I intend to upvote. The size of the upvote swipe area is way too small without haptics.
-
I keep trying to upvote via the little arrows but either my fingers are too big or I keep missing, because I collapse the comments instead. Swiping is the only way I CAN vote.
-
Yeah, just don’t shake the thing too much. It’s gets kinda confused…
-
Ha! It does. I know what’s wrong and will fix it after i get some sleep.
-
That’s hilarious, it really does invert them after shaking
-
Yea. It’s something i noticed when first developed and thought “meh, whatever.” The problem is that rotating it 180 degrees, regardless of where the arrow starts/stops. So if you cross the thresholds back and forth quickly prior to the animation completing, well, the arrow starts to skew.
Funny bug. I almost wanna keep it and have the arrow turn into a frowny face if a person does that. But animating SVGs isn’t something I’ve invested much time in learning yet.

I agree, the app is beginning to feel a lot like Apollo. Biggest compliment I can think of.
-
Will swipe to save come back? I loved that feature to save comments.
-
So... I'm using Connect on Android, but I just learned I can swipe here too, so thanks.
-
I was waiting on which app on Android brings the swipe between posts feature first and Connect has brought it first. Connect used to be mine 4th option app but now it is my main app lol. Devs doing great job.
-
-
Will customizable swipes/gestures be added? Swiping to collapse comments has become such muscle memory for me lol
-
-
Memmy is an iOS app, I’ve heard good things about Jerboa though?
-
Use wef wef for Android
-
In theory, you should be able to build it yourself for Android. See their GitHub.
Not sure if it works well though. 🫤
-
Connect or Jerboa are your best bets atm. Connect has options for swipe features
-
-
It’s way more like Apollo now, which I absolutely love!
-
I just used that sweet new swipe experience to upvote this post.
