Hey guys! Sorry for being AWOL for the past few days. I’ve been taking some personal time and stepped away for a bit. Going to be cleaning up some more stuff and pushing out some good stuff to you guys soon.

This build here - for real this time - offers significant performance enhancements. There is more to be done, but this is a great start.

Here’s some changes:

  • Hide username in the tab bar
  • Some context menu refactors
  • Add bug report option
  • We have replaced the old UI library with a new one. There are still some quirks to work out, and we will be handling those over the next few days. This offers quite a significant performance boost over the last library.
  • Using more stable variables to prevent unnecessary re-renders. This is one part of the performance improvements.
  • Fix infinite refreshing attempts of an empty community
  • Added option to delete posts. This was something I threw in tonight and will be finishing edit post tomorrow. I also have the mod tools ready to go, just a matter of adding them where they need to be in the menus
  • Comment chains are collapsed after either the first 4 2nd level comments or after 3 replies to a 2nd level comment. Much easier to scroll through comments now. This is a WIP so there might be issues. Let us know.
  • Added a comment jump button. Speaks for itself. Might have some issues and is still a WIP. Let us know if anything goes wrong
  • Should have fixed a few crashes that were getting reported while I was away.

Again, sorry for the downtime. I’ll be more active over the next week and we should see some big stuff.

    You’re doing amazing work, but just one question - can we get an option to please show the upvote/downvote tallies again rather than the combined total?

    Only showing a total means a comment with 500 up and 501 down will just show as -1, the same as a comment with 0 up and 1 down, which isn’t meaningful imo. It also leads to the typical Reddit behaviour of “upvote high rated opinions and downvote low rates opinions”.

      There’s a toggle for this under Appearance.

      Edit: Also, this wasn’t the intention but the setting was enabled by default now (before it was disabled). I’ll be reverting that change as I don’t like it either.
