Heyo everyone,
This update brings a few cool new features, most notably:
- Smart link previews
- Now shown in comments and posts
- Previews for communities, users and regular links
- Image carousels
- For posts with lots of images!
- iPad support
- Layout/ui tweaks
- Bug fixes and other improvements
Check out this image gallery in the latest build to see how it works:
(just scroll through it!)
I figured (like some other devs) that some iPad support is better than none. Though the layout is not built from the ground up for iPad, it now fills the whole screen and pushes in some content. This is similar to how other apps like Apollo did it, and it looks much nicer than than a scaled up phone app. I haven't had time to test this version much, so please let me know if you discover any weird stuff.
The update also introduces a custom markdown rendering system that enables me to add things like link previews and image carousels. Seems to work pretty well now, but could definitely be some bugs with it for certain posts - if you find any, let me know!
Hope you enjoy the update!
Yeah for sure, wanna do that later. The app is mobile-first for now, but I figured some iPad support is better than nothing!
