Hi, apologies in the long delay on this release. It took a couple days for Google to approve it and it went through a number of beta rounds before the bugs were ironed out. This release brings swipe customization and a couple new settings. As always thank you everyone for your feedback!
Changes
- Swipe customizations
- Comment navigator now moves to where your previous comment was and not centered
- Image caching should be a bit smarter now and release memory when not in view
- volume navigation now defaults to OFF
- edge to edge display now defaults to OFF
- Image close gestures can now be controlled in settings
- Post card layout UI improvements
- Added setting for double tap to like posts
- Post card is now affected by the ‘handedness’ setting
- The list of moderated communities now shows up in the sidebar
- Adds list of Admins/Mods to the about instance and about community pages
- Current Sort title text is now in the tertiary theme colour to make it stand out a bit more, removed 'via ’ text.
- Added option to see full upvote and downvote counts on post cards
- The top app bar should now appear sooner when scrolling up
- !community markdown now correctly links to a community
- Card view with height limited will crop the image versus displaying the image fitted to the container
Also I’m testing out a fix to some comments not appearing on 1.0.109 beta, let me know how that looks. Next on my list is either drafts or an improved video player.
Edit: 1.0.110 beta changelog
- Adds draft functionality for posts and comments
- Adds video player for most video types (still experimental, working out the bugs on this one)
- Fixed going into comments from the inbox not scrolling the view

Great update! The app feels more responsive now in addition to all the nice new features.
One thing I noticed is that disabling swiping up to close images also completely disabled the ability to drag images around the screen when not zoomed (i.e. scroll outside the image bounds. As someone who often uses Connect with other app windows displayed on too, it would be useful to still keep this ability even when swipe to close is off.
Also, going back from an image view (I use gesture control, so swiping away from the left/right edge) feels very slow and unresponsive compared to going back from a post comments view.
Ah I’ll enable panning again, I wasn’t sure anyone would find it useful while also disabling swipe to close. I’ll look into closing image views from system gestures as well, it shouldn’t be too slow to close. Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome, thanks!
