Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I’m gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you’re having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I’m making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

    The biggest thing I’d wish for is full markdown support, stuff like spoiler tags, superscript and tables is still not working properly and it would be nice if it did.

    I also don’t know if this is a bug others experience or if I have messed something up on my device, but clicking community links sometimes opens up the link in browser instead of in Sync.

    Finally, highlighting new comments on a thread re-visit would be a dream, but last I heard it wasn’t supported by the backend. But maybe an option to highlight comments made during the last X minutes as a sort of hack?

      Noted, I think its probably time to completely replace the old markdown processor.

      As for tables, how are they not working right?

      Do you have an example of a link that opens the browser?

        I think there were issues if tables got too wide IIRC. Tables are a bit of a nightmare to deal with though. I would also personally prefer to not hide the borders for better readability, but I guess that’s more of a preference and less of an issue.

        For links, I have not been able to deduce a pattern. I usually test with the posts at !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl For a while I thought it was related to certain instances, but in today’s post one of the links going to lemmy.ca opened in browser and another in Sync. Very puzzling.
