Hey guys!

Another week and another Avelon update!

The biggest feature in this version is posting (so you can finally post in this community without using the webui!) and a better native GIF player! The feed should also be even more buttery smooth (unless you doomscroll for 2 hours straight, or so I've heard).

Changelog

Added posting! - Supports link posts, image posts and text posts - Automatic uploading of images to Imgur! - (No way to edit posts just yet)
Much nicer GIF video player - GIFs can now be paused - GIFs show progress just like videos
Added pull to refresh inside posts
Videos with audio now play nicer with background music
Improved autoplay behavior for videos and GIFs
Inline images with a name/alias now show the name as well as the image itself
Improved layout on small devices with large fonts
Performance improvements (should be even smoother now!)
Squashed some pesky bugs

If you enjoy the app, consider leaving a review on the app store as it helps out a lot! And tell all your friends plz

Hope you enjoy the update & let me know what you think!

I think the performance is better on most things after this last update, but scrolling still seems slightly “laggier” than when I first downloaded the beta.

As a side note, I would love to have Color Schemes one with dark grey and darker grey (as opposed to straight OLED black), and a “sepia” with font as dark brown and the background as beige/off-white. They are easier on the eyes for some reason.

And thank you for all of the hard work on this project.
