What's your top 3 missing features from Apollo? I'll try my best to add them if possible
What I miss most in order: -Video scrubbing (apollo would let me swipe anywhere rather than just the time bar which I miss across my phone) -Sharing/downloading video files like pictures -Share as image (shares text posts as an image, and adds the title to image posts.) Share as image for comments (including n parent comments, and post details as options)
What made apollo so great for me though was how smooth it felt, its optimizations, and its support for so many different websites and services. Overall, Avelon has been an incredible app even without these features. Thank you for developing it.
Testflight v1.0.6 has GIF/video scrubbing 😎
I'm consistently working to keep speed and stability as good as possible, but it does get harder to do as more features are added
Thanks for the info and your work!

Same. Although iOS 17 killed the swipe anywhere to scrub video feature :(
Basically my favourite features also
I second the gif and video scrubbing by holding anywhere in the frame
for me its the heavy battery usage that needs work the most. also somehow for me the left swipes have sweet spots and dead zones. i could use landscape mode. lots of embedded pics in discussion threads are missing completely. when i want to view the discussion rather than click the link/image i click on the title but it often doesnt work. sometimes i try to click near the .... underneath but that sometimes doesnt work either. what am i supposed to be aiming for?
I definitely accidentally click the community, user, or link from the feed view when trying to just open the post. I think it would be helpful to have basically anywhere besides upvote and downvote from the feed view open the post, and then have the ability to click the link, user, community, share, etc when viewing the actual post.
Yesterdays testflight build added custom app icons, about 15 or so to pick from atm
I'm a bit late to the party, but for me there's one main addition that would make everything better: concentient options to share—or copy—posts as either links to the lemmy discussion or to the original URL. This is especially nice to have for pictures, where you might choose to send a copy of the picture itself or just a link the original.
I miss holding the search button to immediately open search+keyboard :) I know it was that way in an earlier build, maybe there’s a setting to re-enable it that I missed.
Also thanks for adding swipe from right edge to go forward! Would appreciate a setting for full screen swipe for those that don’t otherwise use gestures
