Hi, mostly small improvements in this release. I spent a bunch of time on a horizontal swipe to go to the next post but it still needs some work. Anyways if you want to check it out it’s under an Experimental tag at the bottom of settings. If you use List view I hope you like this release as I made some improvements to the List view layouts.

What’s new

  • General font size adjustments
  • Comment replies are now selectable when replying
  • Added Reset buttons to all colour pickers
  • Blocked instance comments now have an optional message to show them
  • Improved the ‘Show more comments’ button in some scenarios. Should show on Profile views now too if there are responses.
  • Moved the instance name down from the title as it was getting cut off in same cases
  • Added user tag options to comments and posts action menus
  • Experimental feature horizontal swipe for next post
  • Improved the UX of the list views
  • Added ‘Copy URL’ to image views

Fixes

  • Fixed theme surface and background not resetting
  • Fixed an issue where saving settings would override theme customizations in some scenarios
  • added option to block instances via post options menu
  • Now only one comment can be active at a time, clicking another comment will deselect the previous one
  • Changed user tags to use the tertiary comment, should be more obvious now
  • Clicking the + button to create a post in a community should now autofill that community.
  • Fixed a bug where the reply button wouldn’t work if swipe navigation was turned off.

Question: would you prefer to see a bottom navigation drawer or top level comment navigation (^ prev v next) in the next release?

    Thank you so much for this app. From all apps I’ve tested this is by far the best!

    Don’t know if I can submit a request here but I would appreciate if we can get a scroll to the top button.

    I’m testing the app in my Pixel 5. Focusing on the performance. I have the high refresh rate option enabled and 90Hz on my phone.

    The app in general is blazing fast. Long scrolling happens without stuttering at max speed. Short scrollings also go well.

    Now if do mini hits on the display (to do quick and gentle scrolling to make just 1-3 new posts appear at the bottom) then I can sometimes replicate some micro stuttering. But not on every menu. For example it happens in this subreddit that mainly contains text posts. I’m using the “reverse list” view. I think in these situations the phone isn’t expecting any load and keeps a very low frequency and that’s when I get the stuttering.

    Anyway the app is awesome.

    Dang bugs in 69 ruined all my chances to say “Nice.” As usual, great update. Thanks for implementing that ability to select text on replied comments. And nested comments in my profile is a great thing I never realized I needed.

    One BUG I’m seeing is that the Edit Comment icon frequently isn’t showing up on my comments. Specifically on my Profile page, and when I tap comments on my Profile to view the parent post. Potentially more places, but those seem to stand out the most.

    Some Stuff I found with the 72 version:

    • the number counter inside the bell icon is not centred
    • The thumbnail preview is now centred not at the top, which moves the text in the post to the right as well
    • if I wanted to use the commentbar, I have to click perfectly on the comment text, nothing happens if I click on the comment box
    • Color picker, I do not know which of them is already chosen. It only Highlights when choose a new one. Additionally it would be nice if we could see where we choose it by the circle colors

    Settings:

    • Why is the “Limit Thumbnails height” not down by the other activating settings?
    • the text for “Show Post Bottom bar” is not correct - it should be “Affects all Posts”
    • the next is we are getting thankfully more and more features, and with all the features we are getting settings to activate them so it’s getting crowded down there. My Suggestion is to make own menus for them if this not possible sort them together, we have them a bit all over the place right now (swipe settings as an example)

    Minor stuff:

    1. The placeholder text here is kind of invisible in dark mode.

    2. While this theme color appears to affect the side drawer, toasts, text boxes, and buttons; it doesn’t actually appear to change the card color

    (also, colour is totally misspelled… there’s an extra “u” in there… 🇺🇲 😉 )

    Question

    Why not both?

    Bottom navigation drawer, with floating ↑ and ↓ buttons, alongside the Reply / Add Post button.

    I’d even support doing away with auto-hide on the Reply / Post floating button to facilitate this. More often than not, the button is hidden when I want it, and I can’t convince the app to make it reappear.

      What’s the difference between the navigation drawer and floating buttons? Both do the exact same thing or am I missing something?

        I assumed the drawer would be kind of a “bottom bar” , moving some stuff currently in the sidebar menu (frontpage/ profile / inbox / saved / profile).

        It’s also possible I assumed super wrong.

    Bottom nav drawer!

    And is there some way to hide all previously-read items with one click? That’s something I really miss from Relay, it made the browsing experience more enjoyable. :⁠-⁠)

      There is! Auto-hide read items in settings

        How can I find hidden posts? Can you introduce a hidden post section to find a post I’ve already read? I would also like posts not to hide from the communities page, just from the feed
