Update

Haven’t posted an update in a while so here it is. I’ve been working on adding general cross-account support for the past week and it’s a big feature so I didn’t really have much to update other than it’s WIP. If I can’t get the feature into a shippable state by this weekend I will do a release without it since there’s plenty in this release already.

Note that by cross-account support I mean the supporting acting on a different account without switching the current account. This is a requirement for things like “cross account feeds” eg. multi-account subscribed feed.

    First let’s look at the top level settings categories.

    At the highest level we have:

    • Look & Feel: Settings that have to do with something that is directly interactable by the user. Eg. settings for a particular screen in the app.
    • Account: Settings that have to do with a particular account.
    • Systems: Settings that can alter the app that will indirectly affect the user. Eg. hidden post management and cache management.

    .
    I think these 3 categories make sense but I think currently the Systems category is also treated as a Misc category. Eg. things like about and a link to the community doesn’t really fit in this category. It might be better to break these out into it’s own category.
