This release adds two highly requested features to the app: gesture actions & infinite scrolling.

Gesture actions allow you to perform actions on posts/comments by swiping to the left. Gesture actions is coupled with action hiding to create a even more compact layout, as gestures don't require screen space. To enable gesture actions, check the settings screen > Gestures

Infinite scrolling is pretty much a thing in every app. I've finally added this support to the app and also turned it on by default. Testing infinite scrolling myself, I definitely found that I ended up spending more time in the app. This is great if I was a corporation and wanted to maximum profits. I'm still skeptical about this feature myself and will probably leave it off personally, but I'm sure the average user wants it. You can toggle this feature in the settings screen > Content.

Changes:

  • Added setting to enable gesture actions
  • Added setting to toggle inifinite scrolling. This is the new default.
  • Support Android’s new themed icons feature
  • Make the post title input field multiline
  • Support comment links.
  • Fixed popup menu using wrong colors
  • Update appearance of text to be easier on the eyes

Known bugs:

These bugs will be fixed in the next update.

  • Double tapping on a post will cause the post to appear but not fully. If you encounter this tap back to dismiss the post and tap it again.
  • The post list screen will not remember if "hide read" is on if the user leaves the app and comes back after some time.

Definitely. My app needs are typically very low demand, so if it works most of the time, I'm happy. Great work though!
