Hi all. With all the feedback yesterday I wanted to make a release sooner rather than later to address some of the feedback I've received in order to make Connect even better! Some features I had hoped to get in (Markdown editor, image uploads) but will need some more time. Those will come in an upcoming release. I've also uploaded the APK to Apkmirror but it hasn't yet been reviewed, I'll post a link once that's ready.
Features:
- Feature: added setting for text sizes
- Feature: added setting for default comment sorting
- Feature: added the Inbox (thanks @[email protected])
- Feature: Added open in web button at the community level
- Feature: added open in web action item for profiles and post views
- Feature: added unread comment counts to post cards
- Feature: markdown images now expand on click
- Feature: added a refresh button to the community pages when there's a server issue
- Feature: fullwidth view now scales images to fit instead of displaying cropped
Fixes:
- Bugfix: lemmy.ml posts should now work (they were on a different API version)
- Bugfix: The profile link now works correctly if there are multiple accounts with your same username
- Bugfix: Fixed the list view text being at 80% width
- Bugfix: subscription list is no longer limited to 10 items
- Bugfix resolved an issue where sometimes comments would be duplicated
Misc improvements
- Misc: made comments and sidebar lists more compact
What is upcoming in the next release:
- Markdown editor
- Image uploads
- Download button when viewing images
- Edit button for your comments/posts
- Block functionality for specific users/communities

Thank you for all your feedback and support! -kuroneko
Thank you! Your app looks great so far. It's very promising. In particular, I find the gesture control very good, but it still needs a little improvement.
I've gotten used to control Reddit with one hand with my old app. Connect makes this a lot easier and is on a good way.
In dark mode it's sometimes hard to distinguish where a post ends, maybe you could add a little line. Or something similar...
Also I changed card type to fullwidth, but images are still not shown in full width:
