Made some real progress on this. Still want to add a few features before releasing. I am liking this better than the sidebar already. Namely want to add the customizable personal list you can drag/drop communities to to "pin" them to the bar. New options icon too. Still some to do but the functionality is very nice and is coming along. Still styling to do... etc..

Just thought I'd share. I am having a whole lot going on in personal life right now so it may be a few days before I can get this out. Maybe not, just depends :)

Just wanted to share

LemmyTools 0.2.0.5 is released! I believe this is the most functional release yet mainly due to some fantastic contributions from other folks on github who are definitely better programmers than I am! I just want to personally say thank you to:

• @[email protected] - For coding, code cleanup, and mentoring.
• Charles Machalow - csm10495 - Coding contribution(s).
• jimmyhiggs337 - Coding contribution(s).

I am happy to say that the image expansion, and "show all" functionality is much more reliable and customizable now.

More improvements/features are being developed. Please check back often and check updates at least every day. Please create a ticket on github or message me with your issues, thoughts and feature requests.

Also, if anyone is able to message me about beginning to start moving this UserScript to a browser addon please see this post.

Hey all, now that 0.1.2.5 is out and looking fairly stable...

I am wanting to start focusing on more LemmyTools sidebar features.

Immediate thoughts are:

• Make an option where the list is sorted by most recently visted subs.
• Automatically refresh the community list without having to go back to the feed page.
• Show stats for community
• Make an alert for stale communities (no posts for X amount of days). A signal to remove (non-annoying perhaps).
• Make Easy Subscribe button work "easier". Show button back on page somewhere and not just in LT bar.
• Make call function to show subscribed lists on remote instances and to indicate your subscription status.
• Hide Lemmy SideBars stops the ability to post and subscribe (fix).

Non-Feature:

• Git away from UserScript and move to browser addon.

Anything else your interested in seeing? Thanks! See you all around the fediverse!
