  • Thanks for the feedback! We’re aware that the iPad version isn’t up to the standards of the iPhone app–we’re a very small team, and so lean hard on Swift’s automatic multi-platform features to make the iPad app even feasible within our development bandwidth. We’re looking into ways we can improve the iPad experience without introducing unsustainable technical overhead as part of our ongoing 2.0 overhaul, and we’ll be sure to take your suggestions into consideration.

    This behavior can be customized under Settings -> Links -> Tappable Links. By default it uses “contextual,” which will display the full link in large contexts and just the title in compact contexts (e.g., comments if you have comment display set to “compact”). Setting it to “large” will always display the full link regardless of context.

    It is our policy not to make features-for-donations transactions, as we feel that would compromise the spirit of the project and set a dangerous precedent that could lead to development becoming beholden to the wealthiest donors. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and your generosity, though–we’re going to be busy for a little while getting 2.0 up and running, but we can tentatively scope widgets for 2.1!




    1. Yes! We aren’t happy with the current state of our media viewer. 2.0 is a backend-focused rewrite, so probably won’t have a new media viewer on launch, but it’s without a doubt high on our list of important features.
    2. Hard to say. Our iOS compatibility policy guarantees compatibility until iOS18 reaches 75% market share; after that, I can’t make any promises. We take the decision to drop compatibility very seriously, and try to only do so when the features offered by the newer iOS are valuable enough that we would be compromising the potential quality of the app by ignoring them.
    3. Yes. We’re still working out some UX concerns stemming from the fact that it’s very slow to search posts and comments compared to communities, but it’s in the plans.
