User request roadmap items are growing pretty long so this release aims to address a bunch of them.

Changes so far

  • Add a setting to disable auto-linking IP addresses. Note that auto-linking IP addresses comes free with Android so enabling this feature will actually cause the app to strip them which is a bit slower.
  • Add a new layout: full with cards. This layout is the full layout but each post is contained within a card instead of full bleed.
  • Changed the UI for the post feed toolbar.
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes expanding the context in the message screen would cause weird behavior.
  • Fix locales being mixed together. (Attempt number 2)

Update

One of the roadmap items I am tackling is the addition of an optional post feed header. This one is challenging for a few reasons. The first is that because it’s supposed to be optional, the UI design needs to work with or without the headed. The second is that there’s a lot of moving parts with headers when the screen is this busy and complex already.

To tackle the first part I am redesigning the tool bar in the post feed screen so it will look good with or without the header.

    Adding another request:

    The ability to play loops in-app works generally great! However, there’s two things I’d like to see changed:

    • Currently, it takes two clicks to get to playing a loops-video with sound from the post detail-screen. First a click on the link row to open the media player, then another one to unmute the video. Preferably, when a video gets opened with intent (i.e when clicking the link to open the video), I’d like it to default to the sound being on.
    • Approaching the problem from another angle, I guess there’s an argument to be made that there should not be a click on the link to actually open the video player - the video player could perhaps be rendering in place of the image that shows in the post detail-screen today. In that scenario, it would be appropriate to default to muted playback, and no auto-play.

    Thanks again for the great app!
