Hi, apologies in the long delay on this release. It took a couple days for Google to approve it and it went through a number of beta rounds before the bugs were ironed out. This release brings swipe customization and a couple new settings. As always thank you everyone for your feedback!

Changes

  • Swipe customizations
  • Comment navigator now moves to where your previous comment was and not centered
  • Image caching should be a bit smarter now and release memory when not in view
  • volume navigation now defaults to OFF
  • edge to edge display now defaults to OFF
  • Image close gestures can now be controlled in settings
  • Post card layout UI improvements
  • Added setting for double tap to like posts
  • Post card is now affected by the ‘handedness’ setting
  • The list of moderated communities now shows up in the sidebar
  • Adds list of Admins/Mods to the about instance and about community pages
  • Current Sort title text is now in the tertiary theme colour to make it stand out a bit more, removed 'via ’ text.
  • Added option to see full upvote and downvote counts on post cards
  • The top app bar should now appear sooner when scrolling up
  • !community markdown now correctly links to a community
  • Card view with height limited will crop the image versus displaying the image fitted to the container

Also I’m testing out a fix to some comments not appearing on 1.0.109 beta, let me know how that looks. Next on my list is either drafts or an improved video player.

Edit: 1.0.110 beta changelog

  • Adds draft functionality for posts and comments
  • Adds video player for most video types (still experimental, working out the bugs on this one)
  • Fixed going into comments from the inbox not scrolling the view

    If I could make a suggestion, it’d be to have post bodies round off to the nearest word, and end in an ellipsis when they are too long for the post preview. It’s a bit jarring seeing the body of many posts cut off mid word.

    Also being able to download an image from the feed without needing to open it would be great.

    Thanks for all your work! The app is really good and gets better with every update.

      Thanks for the feedback! Agreed about ending at the nearest word, I’ll see what I can do.

        Just wanted to say thank you for implementing this. It feels much more natural, so much so that I didn’t notice it until I was scrolling for quite a while.

    Option to make both the comment icon and number on a post open the comments would be great. I basically never want to comment directly on a post without first opening it and I’m constantly fat fingering the icon when I want the number.

      Thanks for your feedback! I’ll make this an option in the next release.

    When posting a comment, it should show you the comment you posted. Currently, it says “posted comment”, but it still shows the draft and you have to back out. And it also says you’ll lose your draft, which doesn’t make sense because the comment was already posted.

    Ideally, I’d like behavior like I’m used to in Relay for Reddit, where you can back out of comment drafts to look at the comment thread, then go back in and resume writing my comment. And be able to back out of a post to the list view, then tap back into the same post and still be in the same spot (i.e. don’t destroy the view when I leave it, only when opening a different post, e.g. so that I can change something in the app settings without losing my place).

    Edit: currently on 1.0.109 if it matters.

    Edit2: also when backing out of the comment draft it should just revert to where you were in the comments, not reload the comments entirely. Think pushing/popping a view stack.

      Thanks I’ll look into it! It should go to the comment after posting so that is strange. RIF style drafts is coming soon!

    Thank you for the great work as always! Any plans to add an option to be able to disable the confirmation on exit?

      Yes! I thought I was going crazy every time I tried to zoom in and scroll an image. I didn’t know it was a feature.

    I have his problem where images will instantly close when I tap or push them to the top of the screen. I assume some of this functionality is intentional but it means if you zoom into an image it sometimes just closes or it closes when you try and pan around.

    Why is it that when I try to expand a picture on my pixel 7 it closes the picture a second after with this app? What am I doing wrong. I don’t get it. I used to be able to do that two finger expand gesture with most web apps but not this one.

      Just to check one thing, if you turn off ‘vertical swipe to close’ in settings does it still happen? In theory that only happens when the image is not zoomed but sounds like it’s happening at any time.

      I believe it is just a bug. What seems to be happening is that once an image is larger than the alloted width of the window it closes the image automatically. I agree it is quite annoying, but I think it will be ironed out in the future.

      Edit: see this comment below, the issue may have already been resolved in this release.

    I used to use RIF back in the days, and there’s one feature I sorely miss, maybe this could be implemented? RIF had the option to preselect TWO directories for (image) downloads, so you could have one for all the stuff you’re willing to show your grandma and the … rest.
