I didn't realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.
I don't comment much, but sync's draft feature feels very solid.
Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.
Is that any different to tapping the image in jerboa? Seems to act the same to me, so maybe I'm missing a nuance
Peek means that as long as you're touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture 'back' to go back to the main page.
This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about
Gotcha - thanks!
