Hi, firstly thank you to all the beta testers that have helped find bugs and issues. I hope this release is even more stable as a result. It’s been a couple days since the last release so I was able to get a lot done in this one. Big changes include a bottom navigation drawer, comment navigation, and improvements to the settings page.

What’s new

  • Optional bottom navigation drawer
  • Comment ‘next’ 'prev navigation bar
  • Left hand/ right hand mode which squishes comment actions to the left or right.
  • Setting to mark post as read when viewing image
  • Added setting for changing the theme text colour
  • Community label is displayed in the profile list of posts
  • Ability to mark posts as read when viewing images
  • Ability to fix the top bar
  • Added sort option for Top ‘1 hour’
  • Clicking links now first confirms with the user

Fixes

  • Memory optimizations to make scrolling smoother
  • After adding reply, no longer switch to single thread view
  • Fixed issue with reply button
  • Display message when all posts in a list are being filtered
  • Fixed issue with editing replies with special characters
  • Improved comment navigator to scroll to a more centered position
  • Added a post image to the settings post edit page
  • Fixed issue with preload option not saving
  • Bell notification icon should update a bit more smartly

Looking good…

Also, in case anyone else was worried about it like me, I took one for the team and disabled both left & bottom drawers. Luckily, it adds a Setting icon to the top bar.

I would still argue that these options should probably be a toggle between left & bottom, though, since you still do lose links to stuff like your Profile, Inbox, and your subbed /c’s

Amazing work, thank you. One piece of feedback: I would really love it if the top navigation would be visible after a bit of scrolling up, not after scrolling all the way up to the top (if that makes sense?).

RiF did that, after scrolling about half a page up, the top navigation came to view already, making it easier to navigate between top, best, saved, etc, and to access your settings and profile.

Would that be possible?

It already works like that, but you have to stop scrolling up, if you keep scrolling it will never show until you reach the top

Enable the “Sticky Top Bar” option under settings.

Thank you! Foind it, testing it already. Sadly not entirely sticky, but it does appear after a little while, which is better than without the setting!

To build off your comment. I would like to see the post topic in the top bar when browsing the comments, I sometimes forget what was the topic when I’m looking at comments (most of the time when I come back to it later). It would be nice not having to scroll all the way to the top. I hope that makes sense.

Also, a refresh button that’s not in the sub menu.

Extremely minor visual error when viewing a post…

It shows the post’s instance as being on OP’s home instance, rather than the /c’s instance.
