Will be implementing some user requests but will also be focusing on polishing the app a bit as well.
Changes so far:
- Fix a bug where the wrong image is shown in the post feed.
- Improve experience for instances that disable downvotes. Downvote buttons are hidden on the post feed/post screen. Downvote actions on these instances are ignored.
- Improve app startup time.
- Fix a bug where tapping on retry on the load error UI on the search screen will add another load error UI.
- Improve search support on PieFed instances.
- Improve the feel of bottom sheet menus. Fix a bug where flinging on a bottom sheet does not dismiss the bottom sheet.
- Start migrating to M3 Expressive.
- Fix a bug where sometimes the app says there is a network error even though there is an internet connection.
- Fix a bug where the app cannot recover from a network error until the app is restarted.
- Fix some bugs related to “Find in page”.
Update
Been crazy busy these past two month and I’m about to have a busy 3 - 4 days coming up. Due to my current erratic schedule I will be splitting this release up into parts. This way I still get to implement everything I want under one major release version while not making users wait a whole month.
I will try my best to get a release out tomorrow night 🤞.


You should be able to open the side bar swiping anywhere on the screen. It qas designed that way precisely so it doesnt conflict with gesture navigation.
I checked and that appears to be the case. I asked for a easy access tap button because the sidebar cannot be accessed from the search page. It only works when on the homepage.
The communities/bookmarks side bar only exists on the home page. It’s not a universal side bar.
