Suggestion -- Tap comment to collapse and pop-out image viewer (lemmy.ca)

With the recent change to allow swiping for actions this checks almost every box I have for general usability. Just two things come to mind:

  1. It would be nice to be able to tap a comment to collapse and hold to show menu when swipes are enabled so it's a bit faster to browse comments.
  2. The ability to pop out an image (that can be swiped away, ideally) would be nice since clicking an image halfway down the page often leads to having to scroll down to see the whole thing.

Relatively minor things and doesn't break the experience at all, but would help usability just a touch.

Both are relatively easy to implement so I can see if I can add them for the next release.

Thanks for the response, and agree, they would definitely need to be settings that are togglable since they affect important parts of behaviour.

Just thought I'd suggest since they've been on my mind, but certainly not deal-breakers and I understand if you don't want to add additional settings!

I'm going to add the tap comment to collapse as a setting, but you should know that you can currently collapse comments by tapping anywhere in the comment header (aside from the author's name).

Yep, and I make use of it. It would just be marginally more convenient to be able to collapse say a long comment after I've read it without having to scroll back up.
