Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I’ve had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.

I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!

Thank you, Sigve Rokenes

    I’m pretty awestruck by the way you can swipe down to close websites in bean. Maybe you can implement something similar? It’s really intuitive and convenient.

      When I redo the in-app browser I’ll consider making it a sheet you can swipe down, sounds pretty nice. Kinda annoying when the close button is at the very top

        Great! Even better if you could add a “add to reading list” button
