With the PieFed API support having been enabled for about a week now, a lot of you have been trying Interstellar for the first time.

What do you feel is missing? What is the feature you would like added most? What pain points do you run into? Also, feel free to include what you already like about the app.

This is no guarantee, btw, I just want to get some feedback from y’all and hopefully we can find some points of improvement.

Lastly, there are a lot of PieFed specific features that are not supported by the API, and we obviously wouldn’t be able to add support to Interstellar until they are in the API. We can still discuss them here if you’d like. Those features include Feeds, Topics, Polls, Flairs, Tags, admin/mod tools, and probably more.

    Thanks for the great app! Here’s my wishlist (not expecting everything to be implemented, just stuff i’d personally like, up to you to decide if it’s good :))

    • Gestures. Can’t live without’em
    • Better admin/mod tools within the software
    • Piefed features, like flairs / tags / feeds
    • Very small nitpick; but maybe add the Sub/Mod/Fav/All/Loc buttons as a dropdown menu? I never liked how they were always there.
    • Better, more fleshed out settings tab

    Well that’s about it. I hope this doesn’t come off as demanding or anything, you don’t owe anything :D And thanks for adding piefed support, it’s great

      Half of these we already have :) Unfortunately, the other half is not supported by PieFed’s API, but it’s good to know there’s interest!

      • Gestures. Can’t live without’em

      Settings -> Feed Actions -> Enable Swipe Actions

      • Better admin/mod tools within the software

      This is also something I feel is lacking. We already have support for modding posts/comments specifically (mark NSFW, mod delete, pin in community, and ban user), but nothing much beyond that. I would like to improve it sometime soon.

      • Very small nitpick; but maybe add the Sub/Mod/Fav/All/Loc buttons as a dropdown menu? I never liked how they were always there.

      Settings -> Feed Actions -> Set Filter

      • Better, more fleshed out settings tab

      I agree, I would say the Settings menus are a bit cluttered/unorganized. I’m just not really sure where I would start to fix that. I’m no UX person. Especially considering you couldn’t find the settings for the features you wanted :)

      Well that’s about it. I hope this doesn’t come off as demanding or anything, you don’t owe anything :D And thanks for adding piefed support, it’s great

      You’re all good, this was exactly what I was asking for :) Thanks!

        lol I knew some of those features like gestures existed, but I couldn’t find them for the life of me. Thanks, Interstellar’s looking a lot better now! it’ll make using piefed easier :)
