Hello everyone!

After 9 days since the last major update, today I’m happy to announce Leomard 0.5! This update brings a long requested two-column view. In this view, opened posts are shown to the right side of the screen as so:

It works very good with the Compact View on! If you prefer the traditional popup view, you can still enable it in Preferences, which also received a new “Display” section:

Another new big feature is the brand new text editor. New text editor shows you how your Markdown text is going to look like live as you type it! Additionally, it has a heplful Toolbar at the top, which lets you add text formatting, insert link, image and preview the Markdown!

Lastly, Leomard can now mark posts as reas as you scroll past them in the Feed, without you needing to interact with the text in any way. You can enable it in the settings:

Of course, this update brings a number of different changes, such as viewing community mod logs, hiding communities instances in the Followed list and more. Here’s the full list:
