[v1.70.1] Inbox settings

This update adds a new page to Settings: the Inbox page. A few news settings have already been added to the inbox settings page. These settings are based on what users have requested in the past.

This update also contains big changes to hide read. In the last update, new behavior was added to the hide read feature. The new behavior lived alongside the old behavior which was done to test the waters but it is not ideal in the long run.

This update effectively removes the old behavior of hide read. The "combo" menu item consisting of both a button and a toggle is kept. However, the button portion of hide read now turns hide read on and refreshes the feed. Tapping on it while hide read is already on will cause the feed to refresh, hiding all read posts and fetching new posts.

The FAB quick action for hide read has been updated to have the same behavior. I recommend using this quick action instead of Toggle hide read which was introduced in the last major release.

Hopefully the new hide read will be more intuitive for users and reduce confusion.

Full changelog

  • Add inbox settings screen.
  • Add inbox setting to change the FAB button action.

  • Fix a bug where double tapping on the home button would not load the default post feed.

Update

Since "auto-mark as read" for inbox items is now off by default, the "mark as read" button in the bottom bar no longer makes as much sense. Updated this button to instead be a toggle (eg. if the inbox item is read then the button will be "mark as unready", if the inbox item is unready the button will be "mark as read").

  • Update inbox message screen's bottom bar action to have a "toggle read status" button instead of a "mark as read" button.
  • Fix an image loading issue.

Update 2

Released v1.70.1 to fix the image loading issue.
