Coming to the App Store tomorrow!

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 love it! Besides the sideways scroll bug, the fact that the image disappeared after only dragging for a little bit was very annoying to me, since sometimes some text might would be behind the dynamic island, and would disappear when I tried to drag the image down just a little to be able to read it.

        Yea I have made it so that the image will only fill 90% of the screen height at a zoom scale of one (if you zoom obviously it will fill the full thing).

        Swiping is now just a matter of velocity. There’s no required distance to reach for it to close, just as long as the swipe itself is fast enough. (You also have to be at a zoom scale of one for this, since obviously you might have a high velocity swipe when in zoom).

        The issues like what you were having should be pretty much fixed, but I’m going to keep tweaking this thing. It’s quite a bit of weird logic to get it right and there’s still some work to be done, but it’s a huge improvement over the current implementation.

          So much better. One thing I loved about the Apollo image viewer was the double tap and drag to zoom as a one finger option vs pinch.

          I’ve tried it out and wanted to let you know that it’s way better now, and feels really good.
