Hi, been reading feedback and implementing the ones that I think would be good to add. This release brings a favourites bar to the drawer, the ability to set a default page, More text size options, and an overhauled settings page.

Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!

Next things I want to tackle are improving the markdown editor and adding in user/community/instance block lists.

Finally thank you for your continued support! The feedback has been very helpful in improving Connect.

Changelog:

  • Added option for enabling notifications across all signed in accounts
  • Added Text overrides for comments and post titles
  • Added option for disabling swipe and markdown editor
  • Added favourites to sidebar. These are account specific and different accounts can have different favourites.
  • Added option to set default page
  • Added an option to hide the bottom bar on posts for smaller cards
  • Added animations when expanding a comment thread
  • Added option to reverse the comment interactions (tap and long press)
  • Added password reveal button on sign in
  • Added some spacing between posts to visually break them up
  • Removed domain name text on list views thumbnails
  • Added a search option scoped to the current community you are in
  • Added option for high refresh displays
  • Changed FAB icon in post details to a reply icon
  • Changed collapsing comments so the comment body also collapses
  • Fixed a bug with the comment body not showing when editting
  • Fixed a crash on foldable devices
  • Fixed a bug where your own comments would appear to have more points than they really had

    I am really liking this app! I switched over from RIF is Fun over on Reddit, and after flipping a few settings, this works almost exactly the same as I had that one set up.

    I have run into a couple of issues though. I was initially having some trouble signing in, it told me my username wasn’t found. When I tried logging in using my email address instead of username, it worked.

    I was also writing a comment on a post, switched over to another app, then when I switched back to Connect, it took me back to the home screen, erasing the comment I had started writing. I can not seem to reproduce this again.
