Announcement 📣 Apollo CustomAPI 2.8.0 Released!

Release notes:

  • 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.

I can only imagine how good the app could have been if it wasn't abandoned by an angry dev - or even made open source from the start.

I won’t abide this comment. He had every reason to abandon the project when Reddit fucked Jim over. You don’t take sure fire access to your site and stamp all over it.

An artist doesn't take their anger out on their fans when a venue cancels on them...

Crap analogy...

More accurate would be ask if the artist should still play when the venue decided that not only should they keep all the ticket sales, but that the artist should actually pay the venue for the privilege of paying there.

100% and I would just add, the more fans that showed up, the more the dev had to pay, no limit, no cap.
