[Release][v1.41.0] Record screenshot (freediverse.com)

Welcome to v1.41.0. This release adds a feature I've wanted for a while now (but likely no one else wanted). This release adds the ability to record an advanced screenshot.

In some cases, posts and comments can contain animated GIFs. When taking screenshots of these, context may be lost because the GIF animation is removed. The record screenshot feature allows users to take a recording of a screenshot, preserving animated GIFs in posts or comments. The feature allows you to record a screenshot as either a GIF, MP4 or WEBM and contains a lot of configurable settings.

Note that this feature currently does not work for videos (eg. MP4s) in posts because the video player renders these in a specialized way that cannot be captured by the method used by the app.

Full changelog

  • Added a feature to "record" a screenshot as a video or GIF.
  • Added option to mark a post as read/unread in the post option's menu.
  • Changed long tap on the header, expand button or the side to expand actions as well.
  • Fixed a bug where links are invisible in conversations.

I think such a feature wouldn't be too difficult to add if the developers of Lemmy really wanted to add it. I think though that given the current state of Lemmy, there are a lot of other more important features that the developers are likely working on first. There is also the question of whether this feature would be good to add.
