    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?

        My downvotes always return an error message, not sure if that’s just me or a larger issue.

          Does your instance have them disabled? I might need to do a check for that. Some instances don’t allow downvoting.

              Ok cool. Probably an issue with that then. When you sign in, I’ll query the instance to see if downvotes are disabled and if they are I’ll disable them in-app too. Can’t promise next update but I’ll make sure it gets fixed.

        Agreed about the downvotes. I’ve seen few, and it’s usually outright trolls. I’ve seen good discussions too, despite disagreements, it’s all generally positive. I hope it stays this way.

    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:

    1. Some people are finding it difficult to swipe to go back.
    2. 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!

        Ooh ok I didn’t know that. If that’s the case I wish I could disable other swipe gestures! I’d rather use swipe to navigate than to vote/comment!

          If you swipe right all the way from the edge of your screen, you trigger the navigate gesture instead of vote gesture.

          I often mess it up tho or accidentally vote when scrolling. In Apollo I ended up disabling the vote gesture because of that

    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.

          I was trying to say using my left thumb to swipe from left to right to upvote feels very natural and smooth, so it’s already perfect for lefties imo. Thank you so much for this app btw. I’ve only left a few app reviews in my 13 years of using iOS and I definitely left a 5-star review for yours with a blurb touting its ease of use, solid Apollo-esque UI, etc. 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.

        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.

      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
