The next big feature on the menu is “Offline mode”. This feature is difficult to tackle so I’m going to be implementing some other features that should make it easier.

The first is pre-fetching. Prefetching can also improve the base user experience so I will be looking at possible things that can be pre-fetched.

Changes so far:

  • Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
  • Added support for community icons in the post feed.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
  • Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
  • Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
  • Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

I’m changing the default on community icons to “on” since a good portion of you want it on by default. This will be configurable on a per-layout basis so you can always turn it off.
