Currently, there’s no option to copy a comment to your clipboard. It would be very nice to get this as I currently would have to take a screenshot then use optical character recognition to extract the text.
Additionally, Apollo had a really cool option to export an image with a user comment. It was really good feature because it was granular in that you could decide to anonymize the usernames in the screenshot, format the screenshot to only include what you intended, pretty much anything you can think of about screenshot formatting, etc. That feature was really cool and I miss it dearly.
IMO, if you’re going to be THE ubiquitous Lemmy app, you need to provide everything good that Apollo had.
For sure, will probably add a “select text” option to the comment & post menus as part of the QOL additions in 1.0.7.
As for the export-as-image function, this probably requires a bit work. I’ll look into it, but for now I’ll prioritize some other more requested features!
No problem. Yeah it definitely requires a ton of work. Seems like Christian was accomplishing that by basically using CSS and applying that formatting in a temporary web view (or whatever you’d call it in iOS dev world) then taking an image of that.
I’ve added a text selection tool now, available in 1.0.7!
