Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Quickddit is a Reddit client, developed using Qt and Qt Quick, therefore it is smooth and powerful. Thanks to Sailfish Silica component, it also has a native and fluid UI.

Initially developed for Harmattan, now I have ported to Sailfish too. Currently still in BETA, which means:
  • It may has some bugs/issues, but not major/critical one
  • Some features are missing, but most of the important features are there
  • Stability and performance is good in most common usage

I only can test on the emulator, so for those who already have the mighty Jolla phone, your testing and feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Pretty good.

I've uninstalled my Android reddit app. No need for it anymore :D

Good to know that Quickddit can replace the official, fully-featured reddit app for Android :D

Edit: Oh, they don't have official app for Android. But still, there are junk of 3rd party reddit apps

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Nice and clean app as sailfish apps shall be.

Two things so far:

* I think Wifi icon need to be replaced with something else:
check in sailfishemulator:

sftp://nemo@localhost:2223/usr/share...gotouch/icons/

if there are something better to use?

* I think it would be a good idea to connect:

Code:
           
Keys.onReturnPressed: {
                accept();
        }
... so that search start if user press the return button. I often do that way instead of swipe to accept when search etc...

* IMHO Not sure I like the border around the numbers it just "feels wrong" maybe better use Theme.colorXX bold text or something?

Just my :)

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
I've ssh'd into the emulator but can't find any relevant icons, so I use Wifi icon for placeholder first. I will check again to see if there is any better icons.

The return key should be easy enough to implement, thanks for the tips :D

The design of the "count bubble" is indeed not perfect, I will try to improve its design ;)

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
One more.

Get rid of the "section" in pulley menu instead user could just swipe right. One less element in pulley menu is good.

I have seen this in some Jolla apps. For example mail application doing show folders that way....

eg: instead of pageStack.push("SectionPage.qml") when trigger
do pushAttached() on startup.

I did it thois way in jolla together app (in FirstPage.qml)

Code:
  Timer {
        /* For uknown reason, we can't on onCompleted to push the page so this timer used instead */
        interval: 100 // wait 100msec
        repeat: false
        running: true
        onTriggered: { pageStack.pushAttached(Qt.resolvedUrl("SectionPage.qml")); }
    }
and when use swipe right it just there already :)

Very nice sailfish UI feature IMHO :)

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
First, massive thanks for going through the trouble to make & port this app!

Some quick comments after loading this into my phone:

-The "account login" page handles a bit iffy - I repeatedly kept swiping away (unintentionally) from the page for some reason, when my intention was to scroll the zoomed in page to the login text input. Took me 3 tries to get my account set up.

-There's a bunch of generic subreddits listed in the subreddit menu that I'm not subscribed to, is this the intended behaviour?

-Also, would be great if you could modify/remove entries from this subreddit list with a long tap on the selected item, similar to the mark read/delete functions in the e-mail client.

- +1 Mikecomputing's suggestion.

- Another alternative suggestion for browsing would be to have the subscribed subreddit list be the first/main page of the app. Use this as the base for a "tree-style" navigation. This way you'd avoid having to use the pulley menu to switch between different subreddits, and you could simply just flick backward to the list of subscribed reddits from any given subreddit, similarly to how you flick back to the list of posts in a subreddit after reading a comment/post thread.

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
@Yeum

Thanks for the feedback!

After you mention it about the login page I only remember it - indeed it has such problem but I just ignore it at that time and forget to fix it after that. After some checking it seem that this is cause by an obvious bug in the Jolla official components. I will ask Jolla to check about this.

If you mean after you click "browse for subreddits", it will brings you to browse "popular subreddits", you can pull down to switch to other section.

Long press to subscribe/unsubscribe is indeed a good idea! I will try it.

I think the root page should be always the front page, just like www.reddit.com is the front page. But i do notice that there is some "not natural" navigation between subreddits. I will try to see how to improve it.

mikecomputing 2014-01-01 16:43
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Tested login page too. I am suprised you app actually can swipe out when zoomed in :eek:

In my app tinywebbrowser its vise versa. I cannot swipe away when zoomed in and thats what I want...

But there seems be plenty of issues with QML webkit :(

It would be nice if there was API in webkit to zoom in/out so user does not have to doit in some cases. (Like login in your case...

  • Virtual keyboard enter key integration when typing in text field
  • Fix navigation bug and add a pull down menu in login page
  • Add a infobanner component
  • Some minor UI fix

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Very nice! Been playing with it a bit and it's very smooth and intuitive. The only thing Id like would be a kind of "favorites" subreddits thing, since I don't usually login/subscribe.

Great work and thanks a bunch!

Whenever I open this it crashes itself and all running applications. No idea why.

Edit: problem appears to have disappeared.

Wow, that's a serious problem. Please let me know ASAP if it is caused by this app and you can reproduce it.

Going to r/programming gives me an error message and a screen saying "nothing here". The error message says someting like "Error downloading http://www.reddit.com/r/programming /hot.json?limi50&obey_over18=true - server replied".

Really great Reddit client, thanks. Love it.

Is there a way to post a comment that I've missed? If not, do you plan to add it?

I think you added an extra space after "programming" (predictive text/swype will auto add a space after a word)

I'm currently working on it, although it is harder than I expected. Give me some time :)

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Yeah, that was it...:rolleyes: Might be an idea to strip the input of spaces since I dont't think theyre legal subreddit name components.

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Neat application, thanks!

I'm sure it has been suggested already but I may have missed it: do you plan on adding zoom feature to the imgur pics opened inside Quickddit, as well as landscape mode (for the whole app or just the pictures, I don't care)? Screenshots posted on Reddit are barely readable when viewed in portrait on the Jolla, and one cannot zoom in.

Keep up the great work!

dicksonleong8 2014-01-13 15:59
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Unfortunately I don't think I can work on the 2 features because both can't be testing on the emulator (I can't figure out how to pinch zooming on VirtualBox, and landscape mode on emulator is not supported yet) but I believe future SDK update will address those issues and then I will able to work on it!

Kabouik 2014-01-13 16:20
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Perhaps some other dev here could share how to manage adding pinch zooming or landscape mode? There are several community apps with these features already.

dicksonleong8 2014-01-13 17:26
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
I know how to add those feature, just that I can't test it in emulator. I can't release something that I can't test :(

Kabouik 2014-01-13 20:14
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Let's do a devel-test version with big flashy warnings and stuff, then. :P

Well, I don't know what would be the risks, but I doubt you would end up with complains about bricked devices. That's just something inside an app, no the whole OS, right? I don't know, actually, just asking. :o

Kabouik 2014-01-14 08:27
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Also, would it be possible to offer two or three font size increments? Currently, it's larger than necessary (to me at least) - I think it's larger than SMS - and I'd like to reduce it by one or two point(s) to display more content in the screen.

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Thanks for update! Bug: swiping back from image doesnt work on some images. Try with top post on http://www.i.reddit.com/r/streetartporn/ (game over Kiev)

dicksonleong8 2014-01-26 15:23
That is not a bug, the image is zoomed in so you can't swipe back (you are scrolling the image). Tap on the dots on the top left will bring you back to previous page.

But the image do has a (minor) problem that caused the image automatically zoomed in (it should only zoom in when you pinch zoom it). It is caused by Qt and I can't fix this unfortunately.

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Consider remove "load more" and use similar algoritm that was implemented in unofficialtogether and tidings rss reader.

https://github.com/mike7b4/unofficia.../FirstPage.qml

see on movementEnded

also there is a fancyscroller.qml to fast move to top https://github.com/mike7b4/unofficia...cyScroller.qml

credits should go to tace and original implementors not me I just merged it in unnoficialtogether and I think its great future :)

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Personally, I didn't really like moving the subreddits further away in the menus. I mostly just browse them, and now they're kinda hard to reach. To not whine without a solution, I thought you could implement a "pull right" menu to access a scrollable list of subreddits. I mean, similar to the menu seen in the youtube vid of the irc client

Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
Great app!

Is there a way to minimize the children in the comment section? If not, a longpress on the parent would be great or if it could be added to the actions when clicking the parent one time (upvote, downvote etc.)

I'd like that there would be a cover action to refresh the current page and it would open that page.

Another suggestion would be, that you could swipe right and get to the section or subreddits, as someone else suggested earlier.

Like the horizontal swipe menus in IRC would work great

No, please don't use such things that break the Sailfish' UI logic (as is the IRC client). Jolla's way of swiping forward to get more options (like in the mail client) is much better.

I don't think it breaks the UI. Having horizontal pulley at left side would make a lot of sense and would be more elegant than another menu just for subreddits. But that's just my opinion..

Sorry, I know this is breaking the silica, but for accessing a long list pull-down menu is a fail. If from main screen swipe 'back/left' would give you a list of subreddits you subscribe to would be much better than down down down down....

parasemic 2014-02-11 10:12
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
IMO horizontal pulleys are really clever and should be implemented in standard silica...

szopin 2014-02-11 10:16
Re: Quickddit for SailfishOS
 
They work totally fine on first page as you don't expect to be swiping left from there (swipe in for email details is a bit counter intuitive in my opinion, you need to check if an extra dot is displayed... not really seamless, having details at top of pulley menu would make more sense, how often do you check those??? reply by swipe would make more sense as you use that much more often), with apps that have multiple pages not so good (IRC works totally fine this way, channels on the left, people on the right, you're not going anywhere deep)
