I’m trying to make the link clickable area bigger to avoid this problem in general with posts and comments. So that should partially resolve it. Maybe we can also add an option to disable collapsing posts
Another suggestion to solve it. Collapsing could be done with a long touch instead of a tap. So tapping would do nothing unless you tap a link. Touch and hold for a half second or so would collapse the text. Might be a little tricky to not mix with scrolling?
That would be pretty easy to implement actually. But at least for comments we wanted it to be a short press like in Apollo. I use it all the time that way and would rather not have to long press. I think with some tweaking it can be improved, unfortunately we both just aren't react native experts so we're learning as we go.
Apollo also had the option to swipe to collapse instead, which worked way better in my opinion. Avelon currently allows this too is you wanted to see it in action.
Agreed for comments. I also use that all the time and I'm sure we aren't the only ones. I was thinking of this for the post text only... But that makes for an inconsistent interface. Hmmm
As for the last bit, I'm quite certain that most of us just learn languages as needed. I certainly do 😂
