I’m going to start by saying we didn’t actually want to release this one just yet. A couple major instances changed their API spec without updating the published build number, which led to us needing to rush out a fix, so what we’ve got isn’t quite fully cooked yet. Anyway, we figured it would be more fun to ship what we’ve got then to ship a patch, so here’s what’s new:

Features and Improvements

  • Added an option to upvote posts on save (comments still WIP)
  • Added an option to show the user avatar in the tab bar instead of the generic profile
  • Made profile headers more readable
  • Updated the behavior of the NSFW filter. In expanded post mode, tapping anywhere on the image will dismiss the filter; in feed, the filter can still only be dismissed by tapping the warning sign.
  • Added post overscroll for the jump button

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed website icon not appearing in the right place on thumbnails
  • Fixed the “share” button crashing the app on iPad
  • Fixed the widget customizer not working on iOS 17
  • Fixed feed refresh not behaving consistently
  • Fixed login not handling incorrect 2FA code properly
  • Fixed instances with optional .admin field not loading
  • Added handling for inconsistent date formats across instances
  • Fixed unencoded URLs breaking the feed

Known issues:

  • Swipe voting in inbox has an animation hitch
  • Comments don’t apply interactions instantly
  • It’s hard to get image posts to collapse
  • Putting too many widgets and too much info in the bar causes view clipping
  • Onboarding flow is kinda rough. If you’ve got thoughts on how to make it smoother, please share!
  • In Large Post mode, all images are crunched into a square. This is a temporary hack for performance reasons while we polish up some fun new changes, and will be gone in the next build.
