Do you specificly want to cast your screen? Or do you want to cast things like YouTube videos and music?
Love the app and this roadmap looks like something to look forward to!
I'm experiencing a bug though, and have some suggestions that I wanted to share. If you need any more info/dumps for the bug, feel free to reach out.
The bug: the info on my own profile page has not been retrieving new information. The last comment that is shown to me, is this one, even though I've made a lot more comments since. It is also notable that the app shows it as a comment that was posted "one month ago", while the website tells me it's a two month old comment.
Suggestion/bug: When writing a comment, the button to add an URL works not as expected. When I select a text and press the button, I expect it to use the selected text to fill in the " Text"-textbox with that text, so I can easily add a URL to a text that has already been typed. Right now, it does not fill in the textbox automatically and when I tap "OK", it overwrites the original text. Would be a great QoL improvement to autofill this.
Suggestion: I don't know if this option is included in the customization part of the roadmap, but I would really appreciate an option to male the bottom bar sticky, or in other words: to be able to disable the auto hide functionality. I understand why people prefer the larger screen space, but personally I prefer the consistency of a locked bar. Maybe with an additional quick setting to switch between manually hide/show/autohide the bar?
Suggestion: An option to customize your quick settings, preferably with all regular options available so you can really customize it to your liking.
Suggestion: Option to give set specific themes to specific accounts. I think it could be a great visual indication if you could tie a theme to an account. So for instance: when I'm logged into this account, my app uses a red theme, but when I switch to a different account, the app uses a yellow theme.
Edit: I also just noticed that this post shows up as a 5 hour old post, but the comments are up to (almost) a month old.
I think a LoRaWAN based tracker might be perfect for you. I've been keeping an eye on the Loko myself:
Thunder had been my favorite Lemmy app for a while now. I've tried others and some have a lot of potential, but Thunder is the app that does most things the way I like it. Congrats on the launch!
I wish for AP to have RSS feeds, but they don't. I think they and Reuters are aome of the better outlets out there and I've been (re)discovering RSS lately, but AP is one of the few news outlets that don't seem to support it :(
As they should. The earlier you start with scripting, the more time you can save by spending hours on writing a script that saves 2 seconds of time.
Have you ever tried out Micro? I use Neovim myself, but I've played around with Micro. It basiclly takes some good things from Nano, vim and keybindings from modern GUI texteditors, and mixes those together. It's very good for an easy-to-use text editor
I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I'm trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.
Both are great options though and both have it's pro's and cons. I'm also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.
I'm also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I'm really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.
I think being categorized as an alternative to a platform is based on it's functionality, not the way you pay for it. It's about what purpose it has to the user.
Besides that, you pay for Youtube as well, but with your data and maybe YT Premium.
