Hello everyone! We heard you about the the full height preview issues. Just some context we were trying to fix some scroll jittery issues on the card view feed and one approach was limiting the preview height however turns out that’s a desired feature so we’re going to re approach the problem so we can keep full height images in the preview.
Change log
- Bring back full height preview in card view
- Fixed iOS photo orientation for uploads
- Added horizontal scroll to post title in navbar like RIF had
- Accessibility enhancement for upvote/downvote
- Small bug fixes
What’s coming
- Comment Style customizations
- Push notifications - we’re gonna balance this and take our time on our approach as we want to maintain privacy focused permissions.
- Ultra compact view. Really we will be adding a 3rd view type so we will have card, list, and compact. The current compact view will become list
We had a lot of discussion about this feature among the devs and full height definitely gets much more approval. If you can give some specific issues that the full height gives you, we can see if there’s a way to solve them.
I think full height images results in less density of posts on each screen and too much scrolling. It’s annoying to scroll past extra long images that I wouldn’t have clicked on in the first place. Any portrait pictures or phone screenshots take more than a full screen to get past when you factor the header and footer. It just feels like there needs to be a middle ground between compact view (can’t see enough of an image) and full view (scrolling past huge images that take up your whole screen). Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Yes, there’s still scope for improvement here. Once we’ve got some of the other issues with posts resolved we will be looking at this. In the meantime, keep working that thumb 😀
