    Y’all are doing really great work, and so goddamned quickly too. Jerboa won’t even let me log in, much less navigate this easily.

    I can easily see this becoming my new time sink once Boost dies in two days! Loving the app so far, very very impressive for such an early version. One thing I’d love to see (correct me if this is already possible) is having the refresh not only available at the top of the page. Having to scroll up for half a minute just to refresh is a bit tedious :D

    I didn’t see it on your list, but communities I have blocked are showing up on the frontpage when I have “all” selected.

    Love the app! One issue I’m having that is keeping me hopping back and forth between apps is download links don’t work for me in the integrated browser. Could you possibly add the option to open in external browser?

    Amazing app, are there plans to change the accent color from teal to something else? Also any chance we can get material you themes in the future?

    Can you do something about the size of the reply graphics? I’m talking about the green, orange, etc line that appears next to a comment when it is a reply. They’re so narrow and the green one starts at the edge of the screen, making it almost invisible.

    Example

    Edit: fixed a typo and instead of making the edit, it reposted my comment? Both versions were showing at the same time. Deleted the original. If this edit causes it to repost again, I’ll just leave it so you can see.

    Are any iOS users having some serious performance issues with Liftoff? I’ve tried both TestFlight versions and no matter what settings I use, Liftoff feels very sluggish.

    Edit: jk, figured it out. Press and hold

    Your app is awesome, many thanks. I’m missing only the possibility to change the main color, otherwise it has aöready everything I need.

    That’s a pretty good update! I’d love to see an option for left aligned thumbnails and a comment quick navigation at the bottom, just like Slide had!!

    Hiya, thanks for the app, my favourite so far! One QOL I’d like to suggest is a left-handed card view, where the image or content is displayed on the left side of the card instead of the right. So my fellow left-handed friends can navigate a lil’ easier. Thanks!
