Hey guys!

Another week and another Avelon update!

The biggest feature in this version is posting (so you can finally post in this community without using the webui!) and a better native GIF player! The feed should also be even more buttery smooth (unless you doomscroll for 2 hours straight, or so I've heard).

Changelog

  • Added posting! - Supports link posts, image posts and text posts - Automatic uploading of images to Imgur! - (No way to edit posts just yet)
  • Much nicer GIF video player - GIFs can now be paused - GIFs show progress just like videos
  • Added pull to refresh inside posts
  • Videos with audio now play nicer with background music
  • Improved autoplay behavior for videos and GIFs
  • Inline images with a name/alias now show the name as well as the image itself
  • Improved layout on small devices with large fonts
  • Performance improvements (should be even smoother now!)
  • Squashed some pesky bugs

If you enjoy the app, consider leaving a review on the app store as it helps out a lot! And tell all your friends plz

Hope you enjoy the update & let me know what you think!

I think the performance is better on most things after this last update, but scrolling still seems slightly “laggier” than when I first downloaded the beta.

As a side note, I would love to have Color Schemes one with dark grey and darker grey (as opposed to straight OLED black), and a “sepia” with font as dark brown and the background as beige/off-white. They are easier on the eyes for some reason.

And thank you for all of the hard work on this project.
