If I could make a suggestion, it'd be to have post bodies round off to the nearest word, and end in an ellipsis when they are too long for the post preview. It's a bit jarring seeing the body of many posts cut off mid word.

Also being able to download an image from the feed without needing to open it would be great.

Thanks for all your work! The app is really good and gets better with every update.

Nice, refreshing to see an app so small these days, 1.5MB download.

Option to make both the comment icon and number on a post open the comments would be great. I basically never want to comment directly on a post without first opening it and I'm constantly fat fingering the icon when I want the number.

Thanks for all your work on this app!

It's been awesome to see feedback and issue reports being addressed quickly.

When posting a comment, it should show you the comment you posted. Currently, it says "posted comment", but it still shows the draft and you have to back out. And it also says you'll lose your draft, which doesn't make sense because the comment was already posted.

Ideally, I'd like behavior like I'm used to in Relay for Reddit, where you can back out of comment drafts to look at the comment thread, then go back in and resume writing my comment. And be able to back out of a post to the list view, then tap back into the same post and still be in the same spot (i.e. don't destroy the view when I leave it, only when opening a different post, e.g. so that I can change something in the app settings without losing my place).

Edit: currently on 1.0.109 if it matters.

Edit2: also when backing out of the comment draft it should just revert to where you were in the comments, not reload the comments entirely. Think pushing/popping a view stack.

Thank you! 🙇‍♂️

Thank you for the great work as always! Any plans to add an option to be able to disable the confirmation on exit?

Thank you for that ability to disable tap/swipe to dismiss pictures!

Thank you for the great app!

I have his problem where images will instantly close when I tap or push them to the top of the screen. I assume some of this functionality is intentional but it means if you zoom into an image it sometimes just closes or it closes when you try and pan around.

Why is it that when I try to expand a picture on my pixel 7 it closes the picture a second after with this app? What am I doing wrong. I don't get it. I used to be able to do that two finger expand gesture with most web apps but not this one.

Thanks for all your work on this app!

Love it

Great update! The app feels more responsive now in addition to all the nice new features.

One thing I noticed is that disabling swiping up to close images also completely disabled the ability to drag images around the screen when not zoomed (i.e. scroll outside the image bounds. As someone who often uses Connect with other app windows displayed on too, it would be useful to still keep this ability even when swipe to close is off.

Also, going back from an image view (I use gesture control, so swiping away from the left/right edge) feels very slow and unresponsive compared to going back from a post comments view.

Thanks a lot!

I used to use RIF back in the days, and there's one feature I sorely miss, maybe this could be implemented? RIF had the option to preselect TWO directories for (image) downloads, so you could have one for all the stuff you're willing to show your grandma and the ... rest.

Inline video player is a game changer, thanks!!

Suggestion: have autoplay to be muted by default.

Edit: it was a double post. After submitting a comment it just stayed on the submit screen, it asked me if I wanted to discard. I assumed that the comment didn't go through so I submitted again, and it still started on that screen.... This is the long explanation of why there was a double post.

Thank you Kuro :) Thunder is catching up to Connect. There's huge UI improvement and is open source but connect seems to be my favorite because the search function only works on connect.

Does anyone else get inconsistent response by click the comments button on a thread card when viewing a community? I mean this one:

Sometimes it'll open the the thread and show me the comments. Other times it will open the reply box.

I have the include instance tags in names enabled but I noticed if you have a display name set, your display name is shown rather than your actual username. For security reasons, I think with that option enabled, their actual username should be displayed before the @instance part. Maybe the display name could follow afterwards in brackets or something. You can change your display name to whatever you want and that could potentially be an identity issue.

Any chance to have an option to disable the post hiding via long press? I have used that feature many times daily but 100% by accident.
