This release is done to flush all the changes I had made before my "break" from the app.

This is a minor release. Most of the changes for this release are bug fixes.

Full changelog

  • Fix more issues with cards with clipped shadows.
  • Fix a bug where the home item in the side panel displays the wrong home feed.
  • Fix a bug where an instance mismatch message is shown even if there is no mismatch.
  • Fix a bug where the left pane sometimes interferes with the options bar in the post feed header if the options bar can be scrolled.
  • Rename the mod action "Feature comment" to "Mark important"
  • Fix a bug where opening a link if the app is not open will not open the link correctly.
  • Minor improvements to server error messages.
  • Fix a bug where tapping on the comments count on the "You" screen does not show the comments for the current account.
  • Fix a bug where tapping the current selected item in the navigation bar will break navigation, causing some subtle bugs.
  • Fix a bug where the lock icon for locked posts is clipped.

Update

Had to fix a build issue. Release will be versioned v1.59.1.

I hate jumping on to requests literally hours after you announce you're back, but I have one usability niggle that I rub up against fairly often and is the main day to day issue I have with the app right now.

Is it possible to have a setting for swiping left-to-right to act as the back button on any screen that isn't your home feed?

I often for example go onto my profile to check back to a thread I've commented in previously, but swiping left-to-right doesn't bring you back to your profile, all it does is switch tab in the background so when you hit the back button you end up at your Posts tab on your profile instead.

In general I can't reach the back button with my right thumb, so having this option would let me use the app one handed to a much larger extent, which would be very convenient.

This change is extremely restrictive to the design of the app, so I think I will have to veto this. For back navigation, I strongly encourage you to try using Android's gesture navigation system instead.

I didn't realise it would be so restrictive. That's fair.

A lot of UI elements rely on horizontal swiping. It essentially interferes with all of them. Its why gesture navigation uses the edges of the screen.

It was just something I got used to using in Sync and have been missing, but I didn't understand it was that much of a headache. If I understood what it meant I probably wouldn't have asked, sorry. I'm not a programmer at all so I really have no idea whether something is easy or complicated to implement.

No problem at all.
