I’ve just installed Interstellar and think it looks great. I’ve been using Jerboa and browser for Lemmy. The announcement of piefed.ca suggested this as a Piefed app, so here I am.
First impression is that I think I’m going to like it a lot - almost feels like RiF that I’ve been missing for some time. But - I’m finding scrolling really unpleasant - it’s really jumpy, or jittery and hard to look at. I’m finding it so bad that I’m surprised it’s not mentioned here or on GitHub, and I’m wondering if it’s just me?
Version 0.9.3 on Android 15 on a Pixel 8 Pro.

Thank you for the kind words! Let me know if you ever have any suggestions.
Honestly, I’ve never noticed anything related to scrolling issues (maybe that’s just me though, I scroll pretty slowly). Is it possible you could provide a GIF or video demonstrating the issue?
Here’s a short video showing Jerboa first and then Interstellar. It’s hard to predict how this will play on your phone, but when I watch this full screen on my phone it makes both look worse than they actually are. In reality, Jerboa scrolls with zero jitter and Interstellar scrolls like Jerboa in the video.
I’ve made an issue for it on GitHub so we can track it: https://github.com/interstellar-app/interstellar/issues/207
I couldn’t tell anything from the video, but I’ll try to look around and see I’d other people have jitter problems with Flutter (Interstellar’s UI framework).
Also recently tried the app, & it is very good indeed. Just found the option to increase the font size…how did I miss that 😅
That was literally added in this latest update :)
That explains it, I initially wrote my post saying that font sizing was the only thing missing…then I checked again, as I had updated, and there it was…I wondered why I’d missed it… So I edited my post 😅 Thank you 👍🏼
Yeah - I needed that too 😁
ive been seeing a bit of that too.
I just started using interstellar also from jerboa, I like it a lot, I do hope they add a confirm to exit option so I stop accidentally closing the app. (maybe the setting is there but I didn’t see it yet). So far I really like it 👍
There’s no setting or option for that, but I’ll add it to the to-do list.
Thanks!
