What’s coming

  • We hear you about notification badges. Those are coming, PR is opened and being tested. As well as local pushed notifications via scheduling
  • 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
  • Even more error handling for instance failures.

    Changed photo previews in post feed to have a consistent maximum height and updated opening animation (prefanatic)

    Thanks, I hate it. I don’t want a preview, I want the real thing. Full pictures in the feed was one of my favorite features about Liftoff and you just removed it completely. Could at least have made it a setting.

    I guess I could live with previews if there was a clear indicator on whether I’m seeing a preview or the whole picture fits the maximum height - now I only realize I need to click on it because e.g. the meme doesn’t make any sense so there’s probably some caption that I’m missing.

    Great work otherwise, thank you for your efforts, but this feature sucks. (Great opening animation, though.)

      I hate to be a bother, but I support this comment. I was quite happy just scrolling my memes without needing to tap on the post, but now top text and bottom text are cut off most of the time.
