Hi, mostly small improvements in this release. I spent a bunch of time on a horizontal swipe to go to the next post but it still needs some work. Anyways if you want to check it out it’s under an Experimental tag at the bottom of settings. If you use List view I hope you like this release as I made some improvements to the List view layouts.
What’s new
- General font size adjustments
- Comment replies are now selectable when replying
- Added Reset buttons to all colour pickers
- Blocked instance comments now have an optional message to show them
- Improved the ‘Show more comments’ button in some scenarios. Should show on Profile views now too if there are responses.
- Moved the instance name down from the title as it was getting cut off in same cases
- Added user tag options to comments and posts action menus
- Experimental feature horizontal swipe for next post
- Improved the UX of the list views
- Added ‘Copy URL’ to image views
Fixes
- Fixed theme surface and background not resetting
- Fixed an issue where saving settings would override theme customizations in some scenarios
- added option to block instances via post options menu
- Now only one comment can be active at a time, clicking another comment will deselect the previous one
- Changed user tags to use the tertiary comment, should be more obvious now
- Clicking the + button to create a post in a community should now autofill that community.
- Fixed a bug where the reply button wouldn’t work if swipe navigation was turned off.
Question: would you prefer to see a bottom navigation drawer or top level comment navigation (^ prev v next) in the next release?

I’m testing the app in my Pixel 5. Focusing on the performance. I have the high refresh rate option enabled and 90Hz on my phone.
The app in general is blazing fast. Long scrolling happens without stuttering at max speed. Short scrollings also go well.
Now if do mini hits on the display (to do quick and gentle scrolling to make just 1-3 new posts appear at the bottom) then I can sometimes replicate some micro stuttering. But not on every menu. For example it happens in this subreddit that mainly contains text posts. I’m using the “reverse list” view. I think in these situations the phone isn’t expecting any load and keeps a very low frequency and that’s when I get the stuttering.
Anyway the app is awesome.
