It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone’s wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it’s a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn’t support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

    It would be nice to have the option to go from one post directly to the next one, ideally also with hotkeys. Especially in image based communities it would be a timesaver to just hit right arrow (or whatever hotkey) to see the next image post.

      I like this idea. Could you elaborate on how you’d want it to work? Like if you were focused on the list, maybe j/k would go up and down in the post list and show a different post in the overlay/column, or when focused on the post shift+j/k whould go between posts and j/k would scroll between comments or something? What do you think about something like that?

        That would work. I’m not too sue what scrolling between the comments would do exactly. Isn’t that the purpose already of the scroll wheel / page up & down?

          I was thinking more like to quickly scroll between top level comments. Lots of mobile apps for reddit had buttons for that.
