We're making several quality-of-life tweaks to the iPad layout in 2.0! So far, we've made the image viewer full-screen and updated the sidebar to look a bit more modern. Here's a sneak peek:
There's also a setting for a more compact sidebar layout, if you prefer that:
(This is all WIP, it might change. Ignore the lack of All/Local/Subscribed buttons, those will be back in before the first TestFlight).
We're also adding a setting that displays posts in a grid with two or more columns, which will make the posts look less wide in this format.
Longer-term we're considering some ways that we can improve the iPad layout as a whole - such as having a three-column layout - but there's some navigation problems to work out and we can't promise that anything like that will be in 2.0.
Mlem v2 is a completely different codebase to Mlem v1, so bugs that exist on v1 are likely to be fixed in v2. We're aware of an Mlem v1 crash that occurs on iPad when Face ID Unlock is enabled - this is unfortunately difficult to fix because of the way Face ID Unlock works.
In iOS 18, Apple is introducing native support for Face ID Unlock in any app. This makes our own system redundant, so we'll be removing our version of the feature in favor of the more reliable iOS equivalent.
