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!
Hi evgiz,
I have a very very very small request for you.. I know I pop out every now and then with smallest of the small nitpicks which might annoy you often..
You have fulfilled most of my requests earlier too and Iโm really thankful for that.
Here goes that small request:
Please swap the position of search and notification icon in the lower nav bar.. if you do this small code change I wonโt ask for the custom nav bar option I asked in the other post which you said is of least priority at the moment ( Which I totally understand )
Please consider this one small request before the big AppStore launch..
Thanks man.
No problem, your feedback definitely helps so keep it coming!
I think you're in the minority here, I personally prefer to have search to the right side for instance. Perhaps I'll add a "shuntipepperment tab layout" setting just for you :p
I love Avelon nevertheless.. ๐ ๐๐ฝ
