Here's some cool app store screenshots of the app:

Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I've had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.

I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!

Thank you, Sigve Rokenes

Thank you!

Adding posts in not supported yet unfortunately. It's a bit tricky to make a nice UI for that on mobile, but I'm working on it.

Love full width swipe back myself. I'd love to add the "forward again" swipe too, but it's a quite a bit more complex to do. I'll probably look at it eventually, but gonna focus on some other things first.

Let me know if you have any more feedback!

Sounds good. I just thought I was missing something obvious. Thanks again for all the hard work!
