Release Notes:

🎉 Inline Media Previews (aka inline images) is finally here and enabled by default! This enables Apollo to render images, GIFs, and video thumbnails inline within posts and comments. (#125)

• Configure in Settings > Custom API > Media > Inline Media Previews (on by default)

• Supports most Reddit hosted videos (thumbnails) and images, animated GIFs (including GIFV), and Imgur images and albums

• Thank you @icpryde for the collaboration and adding support for videos, Imgur albums, and thumbnail retrieval

Other Issues Fixed

• Fix Apollo bug where viewing MP4-style GIFs / GIFVs on subsequent loops would randomly freeze

• Fix rare crash issue caused by comment collapse hooks

• Fix image uploads to upload at full-res (#160)

• Liquid Glass: fix tab bar icon and label tinting so it adapts to light/dark mode and to bright/dark content behind the glass material (thanks @icpryde!) (#103)

• Liquid Glass: fix subreddit title being misaligned to the left in the navigation bar (#162)

Release notes 2.8.0:

• Support for uploading images directly to Reddit instead of Imgur (thanks @icpryde for the implementation!) (#123)

• Configure in Settings > Custom API > Media > Image Upload Host

• Reddit image upload is experimental and does not currently support multi-image or video uploads

• It’s normal to see an amazonaws.com URL after attaching an image - it is replaced after posting

• Right after posting, Apollo may briefly show a generic preview icon while Reddit finishes processing the image. Pull to refresh and the real thumbnail should appear

Release Notes 2.7.0

• New Tag Filters feature to blur NSFW and/or Spoiler posts (including titles) in feeds (thanks @icpryde for implementing this!)

• Configure in Settings > Tag Filters

• Tap a blurred post for a “View hidden post?” confirmation alert

• Per-subreddit overrides let you toggle NSFW or Spoiler filtering for individual subreddits

• Bulk translation fixes (thanks @icpryde!):

• Fix post body briefly flashing the original language after voting, and not reverting when toggling translation off while scrolled past the body

• Fix comment cells being skipped when toggling translation, and translations appearing half-applied after returning to Apollo from another app

• Fix plain multi-paragraph post bodies being skipped

And if you aren’t aware, some great changes in version 2.0:

🎉 Massive update that enables Ultra features like saved categories, new app icons and Pixel Pals! This also brings new features like recently read posts and fixes for some longstanding Apollo bugs.

The Custom API settings view has also been redesigned and is now accessible directly from Settings.

Please break, critique, "dunk on," meme, and improve my reddit alternative called trove.

Backstory:

Last year, I posted on here about Trove, a minimalist alternative to Reddit I was experimenting with. Lots of people liked the design and motivation for the project.

At the time, it was just a mockup, but now it's a website!

The goal is basically to steward a website that feels like "old reddit".

My top priorities:

- fostering slow, thoughtful, creative, and engaging discussions (writing a constitution?)

- respecting user privacy and attention (no ads, AI content, infinite scrolling)

- ensuring users retain ownership of what they post (users can easily delete their accounts and download their data)

- keeping things simple and solid (a mobile site that works, no crazy slow javascript magic)

I don't expect people to use this platform. But I do hope to slowly and surely make something that's a really good home, and maybe one day people will move in.

Extra notes:

I don't have a constitution, about page or privacy policy set up yet. Hoping to flesh these out as user feedback comes in.

The moderation tools are ... well ... nonexistent. This is because I'm not sure who will be moderating what and how Community (subreddit) ownership will work.

I hope Trove can be like Reddit if it were made by the Wikimedia Foundation, i.e. a centralized platform with a strong ethical and stylistic stance.
