Enjoying the app so much by far the best out there. It would be great though if we could change more things of the appearance such as hiding the voting arrows or changing the thumbnail side from left to right would be so good.

For appearance options I thought you meant like changing the color palette or something else. Asking Voyager to create a โ€˜build your own UIโ€™ kind of thing seems excessive, specially when anyone can fork it and customize it however they see fit. Maybe with time someone creates a popular fork with your taste in UI.

I mostly agree but changing the thumbnail side feels pretty basic and almost a fairness thing for lefty vs. righty.

Hmm, not really. Left and right positioning for thumbnails would be in any case an adaptation for LTR or RTL text. They respond to composition with the text block with the title and details of a post.

I know people are entitled to their own preferences, but we read left to right and top to bottom, so most design decisions will take that into account.

Edit: comment was double posted so I deleted the other one.

Thumbnail isn't part of the text. It doesn't matter that I read left to right. It's because I care more about the text. I may move to the next if the headline doesn't make me want to see the pic.

I literally created a PR including those two options earlier today and I think it got merged into main a couple of hours ago.

My guess is it'll be available in the next release but I don't really have any control over that.

Edit: Good news, 0.23.0 is out now and it includes the settings ๐Ÿ‘Œ
