After 3 days in review, this update is finally live! This is a pretty big update. The main focus of this update is to give users more options to customize the app. Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. As more of the core features of the app is completed, more customizations will be added as well.
Changes:
- Added the ability to add images to posts or comments (this post was made using Summit!)
- Fixed a bug where you couldnt select text from the comment you are replying to.
- Add automatic content detection specifically for images (I will need to add it for other file types in the future). This means posts that link to an image should automatically show up as images. Previously the app relied on Lemmy to tell it when something was an image.
- Fix a rare crash
- Add card and compact layouts
- Add settings screen
- Add setting to adjust post font size
- Add setting to put the image on the left or right
- Add ability to block a user/community from a post. Will add ability to block a user from a comment in the next release. This release is big enough as is.
- Fixed a bug where pressing back while in the community browser would not work
- Add theme chooser between light, dark and system themes
- Add support for material you

It’s never been an issue of whether this can be implemented or not and more of an issue of the gestures clashing with existing gestures. The app is currently pretty overloaded with gestures (swipe right to see communities, swipe left to see current community info) and you can’t have both. It boils down to which gestures I give up for what.
I might just end up making this a setting so you can enable one or the other. Not sure yet.
Thank you! That would make sense. It would be frustrating if both are enabled and I keep swiping to open a side panel on accident.
