Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway.

This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldn't be any more issues with the swiping to close.

There are some issues still but they are minor and I'll get them cleaned up here soon. I've spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so it's been a process.

The "white flash of death" should be fixed here as well when you open up the app.

We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone.

Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers.

Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

I notice the improvements regarding zooming/tapping (thank you), but I'd like to report what seems to be a bug.

It seems like the app is only loading low-quality images in some cases. I just noticed it after seeing a post on https://lemmy.world/c/animalswithjobs@lemmy.world. Following onto the community I saw that on every post there the image is low-quality, it's even hard to read the captions in some cases. Tapping on the share button shows them in the low kilobytes in size.

So far that's the only community I've seen the problem on, though. I'll report back if I notice it elsewhere, but I'm not sure how to confirm it's an isolated problem or if there is something I can toggle to change the behavior.
