This update's main focus is on adding the communities pane so it's easier to manage and browse communities you are interested in.

The initial idea is to allow users to both add communities from the app (not synced to your account) and also show communities that you are subscribed to (synced to your account).

This gives users maximum flexibility as it handles the multi-account use case.

There are also a number of bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where tapping on home again wouldn't take you back home.
  • Fixed some rare crashes.
  • Fixed crash on deleting a history entry. (The history feature is barebones at the moment, more will be implemented later)
  • Removed some unnecessary network calls

Update

Other changes in this update:

  • A very basic community view to allow you to subscribe or unsubscribe from a community
  • Very basic bookmarking
  • Fixed a UI bug where the bottom bar would appear randomly when swiping left or right
  • Fixed a bug where you are put at the bottom of the community list after you switch accounts
  • FIxed some crashes

For colors side bars, I don't like how they look so I will not be adding it by default.

I assume by continuous scroll you mean like infinite scrolling on the community screen. This is actually something I didn't do on purpose. I think the whole infinite scroll thing makes it easy to lose track of time as you just keep scrolling without realizing how long you've spent in the app. Having concrete pages gives you a better grasp of how much you've browsed.

That being said, I don't think either of these ideas are bad. They are just not my preference. I will implement these features in the future. They will just not be a priority until the core features on done (see the roadmap).

When these features get implemented they will be settings you can configure however I will likely have them disabled by default.
