In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.
I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.
Improvements and additions:
- New icon and options for changing icon color
- New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
- Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
- Performance enhancments throughout the app
- Hide read posts
- Images in comments
- Collapsible posts
- Default comment sort
- All of the “Top” sort options
- Show a loading modal while downloading images
- Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
- Add option for reader in webview
- Settings improvements
- Added embark theme
- Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
- Adjustments to splashscreen
- Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
- Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser
Fixes:
- Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
- Fix cake day showing the wrong year
- Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
- Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
- Read icon now uses the correct color
- Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
- Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end
If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.
It’s unbelievable that you can make an app this great in this short amount of time, and that other site can’t get it right after years. Thank you for all you do, I just did the “Buy me a Coffee”!
I have two requests if possible. The first is probably the easiest - orange is my favorite color, so I’d love an orange color of the icon to rock on my home screen!
The second is probably harder. I miss the small button on the bottom right that jumps to the next parent comment. It doesn’t have to be a button, it could be a swipe or tap. When I’m in the middle of a long comment chain, sometimes I just want to bail on the thread and move to the next parent comment, but I can’t find an easy way to do that other than just scroll and look.
Again, thank you for the great app! Make sure you get that tip jar in here, you deserve to get some payment for your great work!
We can get both of those done :)
As a matter of fact I’m going to start working on the jump button this week.
Our icon designer already made an orange one today, possibly from seeing this comment lol
That’s awesome, thanks! I’m gonna need to buy you guys more coffee! ☕️
