why dont any lemmy apps have a Create Post button? - Merveilles

All the apps make it very difficult to create a post. You have to know what community you will be posting to, search for the community, click the three dots, click create post, click whether it’s a photo/link/text and then start posting. Why not just have a Create Post button with the title field, url field, body text field, and a button to upload a photo and then a choose community button

Connect has pretty much exactly that

Jerboa has pretty much exactly that

Very easy from Sync too. Questioning this “all the apps” and “very difficult” business.

Eternity has a big plus icon in the bottom right corner, doesn’t get much simpler than that

Jerboa’s create button “+” is actually obnoxiously big on the front page. I should be able to hide it.

Liftoff also has a create post button with exactly that.

You say “all the apps” but I’ve tried a fair number of Lemmy apps and they’ve all had some form of “create post” button except maybe some very early alpha releases.

Came here to say this

Not on the title bar, but Liftoff has a really big button with plus sign on it. Hard to miss.

Overall the app has a great UI.

In Sync, it’s the “Submit” option in the … menu of the feed.

Majority are very Reddit app like where it’s exactly as you described and that would be why. There wasn’t a general post button. You always posted within the subreddit at least in all the ones I used.

Umm? The ‘+’ button on Connect is exactly that.

After you click the green plus (+) in Jerboa, then you’ll be presented with this screen featuring everything you asked for:

The submit button is the paper airplane in the top right.

Boost has HUGE + , always visible. What are you blabbering about?
Show threadjust_another_personOct 22, 2023
They do. In the most recognizable format ever. Are you missing something?

The Quiblr web app makes posting pretty straight forward.

P.S. Im the dev of this app, so lmk if it isn’t clear lol I tried to make it intuitive + I designed it to autofill community details if you click “Post” while in a specific community.

development still ongoing ? And thanks for that

Does the name mean something? Its quite hard to remember and spell. Looks great though
Show threadAureliusNov 28, 2023

Thanks! And I wanted a fun name that was short (which is difficult since domains are expensive!)

Also, I was later told that the “Quibbler” is a magazine in Harry Potter 😂 so I guess it’s fitting in a sense

Liftoff and Connect both have a simple post button…
