Yo! I've been working on a few new things.

First of all, I added support for some of Lemmy's settings. You can now change most things (except for languages, avatar/banner images, 2FA).

I also added a new markdown editor I built this morning. It's pretty similar to the one on the official UI, but at least in my little experimenting it feels a bit less buggy. Nonetheless I wouldn't be surprised if there are some issues so please let me know if you run into any problems! It doesn't yet have hotkeys (like ctrl+b for bold, etc), I plan to add those later.

I wanted to add image uploading, but unless I want to proxy all image uploads like Voyager does I'm going to have to wait for a solution to lemmy#3567.

Edit: I added hotkeys for bold and italics, whatever the normal one for your OS is.

A little request, if I may. I'm currently using the column view, and when I want to close a post I have to scroll all the way back up to the start. It would be really useful if the close button (maybe with upvote, downvote and other buttons) could stay fixed while scrolling down in some kind of navbar.

I like that idea! I'd been thinking about doing that with the close button, but I hadn't considered the others but that could be interesting.

Just released some new stuff. Now you've got a scroll to top button on post feeds and posts, plus on posts there are scroll-to-next/previous-comment buttons, plus a close post button. Update announcement

Just tested it. Love it! Thanks a lot for the answer and specially for the quick implementation.
