I’ll title this release later but I wanted to create this post as some things have an’ready been done and I wanted to update the community.

The main new feature implemented is the ability to filter searched by user or community or both. This feature was actually a challenge to implement but I know the feature itself seems small to a user. That’s why I’m not titling this release with this feature. I’ll figure out something more substantial to implement late.

Changes so far:

• Added filters to search. Searches can now be filtered by user or community.
• Added left-hand mode. Enabling left hand mode will cause certain UI elements to shift to the left of the screen.
• Added a setting to make the notification bar completely transparent. This might only work on certain versions of Android.
• Added a setting to lock the bottom navigation bar.
• Fixed a bug when prefer full images is on. Reduce the likelihood of UI elements jumping when scrolling due to image loading.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes cause only parts of an image to show when prefer full image is on. Note that if the image is too long, only aa portion of that image will be shown. This hasn’t changed.
• Changed the default to enable full image previews for post layouts. Currently the default uses a fix aspect ratio for all image. Of course this is configurable so you can turn this setting off if you do not like it.
• Changed the default to retain the state of the last post visited. This means if you read a post, leave and go back you will be taken back to exactly where you were before. You can disable this in settings if you do not like it.
• Changed the tap area for collapsing comments. Tapping on the left side where the thread lines are will also collapse the comment.
• Fixed a bug where only upvotes were counted in the total score in some places.
• Fixed a bug where not all saved comments are shown in the saved page.

Update

I’m dedicating this release to the 10% of you who are left-handed. I’m going to use the app with my left hand for a week to make sure everything works fine.

Update 2

Just realized I accidentally titled this a release. This is a WIP, not a release. Sorry for the confusion.

Update 3

Been using the app with my left hand exclusively for a few days now. Everything feels pretty good. I think there’s a few more minor changes necessary but I am getting ready for a release by the end of the night.

Update 4

Looks good so far. I want to sneaky one more change in so I’ll try to do the final release later tonight.
