I'm going to be implementing more user requests. If you have any leave them in the comments.

Changes so far:

  • Changed the behavior of the navigation menu. If a navigation menu item is currently selected and it is tapped, the app will navigate you to the "home page" of that navigation item.
  • Fixed several bugs related to the compose post screen.
  • Fixed a bug where the create post screen mistakenly only shows comment drafts instead of post drafts.
  • Changed the style of read posts to dim the entire post item. This behavior can be changed in settings.
  • Added a setting to control whether videos should auto-play. Default true.
  • Added new comment count to posts.
  • Added a view to the post screen if there are no comments.

Question for Summit users. Since I'm adding dim read posts as a setting per "layout type", do people think dim read posts should be on by default for all layout types or just the card based ones or maybe only the ones where the image occupies the entire width of the screen.

I think personally dim read posts works the best for layouts with views that are large as they make it way more obvious when a post is read. However for tiny views such as compact or any of the list views, dimming just the title is enough and it is actually kind of detrimental to the viewing experience if the entire card is dimmed as it makes things like the image harder to see.

So to reiterate, should dim read posts be on by default for (1) all layouts types, (2) only card based layout types or (3) only layout types with full width images?

Maybe make it available for all layouts but keep it turned off by default.

I use compact view and I'm fine with only the title being dimmed.
