The backlog of community suggested features is huge and I am slowly burning through it woohoo.
Full changelog
- Add support for featured posts on Piefed instances.
- Add setting to wrap comment headers if they are too wide. Default: on.
- Add setting to have “Hide read” on when the app is launched. Default: off.
- Add feature to highlight new comments. Can be enabled/disabled in settings. Default: On.
- Change default setting for FAB quick action: None -> Hide read.
- Fix some link parsing issues.
- Fix a bug where community is “reset” and position/sort order is lost when app is killed and recreated.
- Fix an issue where video players are not getting deallocated correctly.
- Fix a bug where the comments footer disappears if “show navigation bar on post” is enabled.
I’ve had issues with this as well.
I don’t mind it being slow, but it might be nice to have an indicator that the app is still doing something in the background, and hasn’t frozen or crashed.
How does the app determine when enough posts have been hidden? Does it just hide the last 500 read posts, or does it keep hiding posts until it finds 50 unread posts?
Would it be possible to display any of this information to the user while the process is running?
It keeps hiding until there is enough for a page to be displayed. I don’t remember the size of a page on the top of my head. It’s probably 20. Also, I can definitely add a granular loader, it was just never requested by users in the past. The app shows a spinner so it should be obvious when loading, it just doesn’t show the exact details just because loading a page is pretty complex and it is only going to get more and more complicated as more features are added.
I can add a granular load animation to the roadmap.
