Here are a few features that I think would be good to add:
Administration & Moderation
- Signup applications (under the Reports button in Inbox would be ideal)
- View votes (afaik mods should also be able to view votes in their communities)
- Perhaps some sort of administration panel
- Merge “Admin tools” and “Mod tools”
- View moderation & report history for users
- Better modlog UI
- Checks for whether or not some mod actions can be done on a user and hide options that can’t be applied
- Add “Feature Post in instance” to posts
Create new post dialog
- Rename “Compose post” to “Body” or “Text”
- Pre-expand text field area
- Add new field for thumbnail URL
- Allow choosing post language
Create new comment dialog
- Allow choosing comment language
- See who you are replying to in addition to the comment content
Media
- View & manage uploaded media
- Add option to loop videos
- Add option to unblur NSFW images when in NSFW communities
Other
- More user friendly errors
- Advanced search (search in community, filters, etc.)
Oh and the updated join-lemmy.org applications page lists that Summit has 2 GitHub repos. I think it would be less confusing to just link to the repo that contains the source code instead.
The option for a persistent bottom bar would be fine, yeah! An option to immediately show the keyboard or not when calling the search engine might be nice as well and would solve this issue without disgruntling the users you reference.
Sure i can add that to the roadmap.
