With the recent change to allow swiping for actions this checks almost every box I have for general usability. Just two things come to mind:

  1. It would be nice to be able to tap a comment to collapse and hold to show menu when swipes are enabled so it’s a bit faster to browse comments.
  2. The ability to pop out an image (that can be swiped away, ideally) would be nice since clicking an image halfway down the page often leads to having to scroll down to see the whole thing.

Relatively minor things and doesn’t break the experience at all, but would help usability just a touch.

    I thought of another idea for the tap to fullscreen image. I think it might actually make sense as a long press action perhaps? That way you don’t have to choose between the two behaviors. I’ll add it in the next update and you can try it out.

      There’s a couple small bugs with the long press to view feature:

      • Doesn’t mark the post as read
      • When the image is dismissed it flashes up briefly full screen after the animation plays

      I think it would be nice to have a toggle to make the long press behaviour on single tap, it’s just a bit slower to have to hold

        I fixed it woohoo. That was so annoying to fix :x. Dammit Android.

        When the image is dismissed it flashes up briefly full screen after the animation plays I can’t reproduce this on any of the 5 test devices I have. What version of Android are you running?

          Android 12 on a OnePlus 7

          I’m in pure black dark mode if that matters

            That device isn’t even that old so that is very odd. For context one of my test devices is a motorola G5+ from 2017. I wonder if it’s an issue with oxygen os.

        I FINALLY REPRODUCED THIS.

        I am kind of baffled why though. I can only reproduce this bug if gesture navigation is off. &$%$#&@

      That’s a cool idea and slightly iOS-esque, happy to try, of course! Thanks :)
