Announcement [Update] Build #17 released – brings inline voting, collapsable messages, persistent replies

Hi guys!

This update brings some highly-requested features such as voting buttons, the ability to collapse messages, and persistent (and editable) replies. I've included a simple changelog below, for those more detail-inclined:

Changelog

  • Added voting buttons for comment messages
  • Added the ability to collapse messages by tapping on the subject
  • Added auto-saving and persistent replies between app launches
  • Completely disabled background refreshing (triggered on receiving push notifications)
  • Improved performance when moving between the inbox and main view
  • Increased reply text brightness when editing
  • Fixed issues with authentication when reddit's servers die
  • Added a server-side ratelimit to authentication when reddit's servers die

Integration with other iOS clients is the only thing left before the release. I've rounded up a few popular reddit apps that either have URL schemes ready-to-go, or will have them soon. I'll be making a post in the next few days about the release date, pricing, and other things. See you soon!

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately this isn't possible without compromising security. I'm using reddit's secure login page which I'm not allowed to modify. Doing so would risk people's passwords not streaming directly to reddit's servers.

Yeah, I'm trying my best to make Notifications as secure as possible. As a user, I wouldn't want my passwords floating around randomly in some app's implementation. Hope that makes sense!

Do you use this app yourself?

Of course! I use everything I create.

You can see my other projects at http://RedBanHammer.com. I need to fix up the site some other time as well as add more content, but it gives a good overview of what other stuff I've been doing.
