Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn't already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.
Nice to hear that it's active
Actually I ran a current development build of the app which seems to have the feature already. There is a small chain icon next to the vote arrows which jumps to the comment and it's parent and allows to load even more context. So maybe it will ship in the next app update when release :)
Oh yeah, you're right. The main version has it too.
Have you written for the app before? How did yiu find it? I took a very quick look and plan to try working on it at some point but I don't know kotlin at all. It'll take some spinup for me.
Yes, I made two small contributions till now. The maintainers seem pretty responsive when new PRs are opened and open to the stuff people are adding. Did not have a thorough look through all the code of the app yet but what I have seen seems structured quite good and I look forward to working more with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Am a Java Dev for work, quite some time since I last worked on an Android App but making small contributions first should get you started
I'll give it a shot as I have time. I'm primarily a Python developer with experience in Go, C, and a smattering of other languages. Should be easy enough to learn enough to contribute some small PRs.
Think so too, good luck ๐
