Coming to the App Store tomorrow!

Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway.

This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldnā€™t be any more issues with the swiping to close.

There are some issues still but they are minor and Iā€™ll get them cleaned up here soon. Iā€™ve spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so itā€™s been a process.

The ā€œwhite flash of deathā€ should be fixed here as well when you open up the app.

We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone.

Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers.

Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

I love it! Besides the sideways scroll bug, the fact that the image disappeared after only dragging for a little bit was very annoying to me, since sometimes some text might would be behind the dynamic island, and would disappear when I tried to drag the image down just a little to be able to read it.

Yea I have made it so that the image will only fill 90% of the screen height at a zoom scale of one (if you zoom obviously it will fill the full thing).

Swiping is now just a matter of velocity. Thereā€™s no required distance to reach for it to close, just as long as the swipe itself is fast enough. (You also have to be at a zoom scale of one for this, since obviously you might have a high velocity swipe when in zoom).

The issues like what you were having should be pretty much fixed, but Iā€™m going to keep tweaking this thing. Itā€™s quite a bit of weird logic to get it right and thereā€™s still some work to be done, but itā€™s a huge improvement over the current implementation.

Iā€™ve tried it out and wanted to let you know that itā€™s way better now, and feels really good.

So much better. One thing I loved about the Apollo image viewer was the double tap and drag to zoom as a one finger option vs pinch.

After opening an image and then double tapping it, the image zooms down to the bottom of the screen and also is overlaying the feed. This may be expected behavior?

Also when pinching out to zoom it doesnā€™t seem to center on where Iā€™m pinching.

Consider opening a patreon and GitHub sponsors and open collective so people can donate monthly

The new image viewer, when zooming in, instead of showing empty space as black, it is transparent, showing the feed behind it. Is this expected behaviour?

The update feels much snappier overall and am loving it regardless. Thank you as always.

Haha no, Iā€™ll have this fixed in a few hours. Just really testing it out.

Yeah likely needs worked on. When I zoom in it scrolls down at the same time too instead of staying centred.

Iā€™m sure improvements will come.

Looks like a bug, though it made me realize I love the transparency. Would prefer that over black to be honest!
