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).

    been trying to brainstorm a way to allow users to resume from the page they were last on

    This is kinda where my columnar layout obsession comes from (sorry!). Keeping each column as independent as possible can work really well (if you’re into columns like I am). I’ve mentioned this before, but mastodon’s columnar layout might be worth looking into, because they’re both independent, and, in the case of the “Main view column”, which shows the stuff you select to view, has a “Back” button at the top while keeping the others independent and static.

    Let me know if I get too loud about columns! I know not everyone likes them!

      That would be nice. I still haven’t played with it on Mastodon yet.

      Nah you’re good! The current implementation is really simple, and the stuff you’re suggesting is a lot more complicated so I’m still just trying to figure out how I want to solve the technical challenges of it before adding anything. :)
