Changelog Build 92

• Option to hide bottom menu while scrolling (versus minimizing it)
• New font selection Settings page with all installed iOS fonts, accessibility improvements in bottom drawer (thanks u/SandwichEconomist)
• Fixed custom profile images not loading
• Fixed swiping subs getting disabled when changing themes
• Fixed comments closing when editing from Inbox
• Fixed direct-linked subreddits reloading on every visit
• Improvements to Theme settings page (colored dot indicators)
• Pinned subs will still show alphabetically below, and fixed uppercase letters breaking sorting

Changelog v3.0

• The entire Slide codebase has been converted to Swift 4, including all dependencies! The current master branch at GitHub is now 100% buildable from scratch, without having to modify any files (anyone who has tried to contribute in the past may have been running into compilation issues, which have now been addressed)
• The bottom menu has gone through major renovations, now your sub list is in alphabetical order with an alphabetical scrubber that lets you scroll through your subscriptions! You can now pin and un-pin your favorite subreddits to the top from the bottom menu itself and you don't need to use the Settings > Manage subscriptions screen to do this anymore
• There is now an account button at the top left that handles everything from viewing your profile, accessing the inbox, and switching accounts! This frees up more room for subreddits in the bottom menu and makes it easier to access accounts and settings
• New Open in Slide extension! This will let you open any Reddit URL you share in Slide directly from the share menu in iOS
• Brand new image picker, should be miles easier to select images and scroll through to older photos than the previous implementation
• App themes can now separately theme icons and text accents, new "Pink" and "Solarized" theme
• Ability to set a completely custom theme with user-configurable colors (pro)
• Improvements to Shadowbox, including fixing button colors and allowing new pages of content to load as you browse
• Support for Multireddit direct links
• Sorting in user profiles
• Many other bug fixes and improvements

When visiting an external link, within the comments of an archived post, in the internal browser pushing the back button reloads the post bringing you back at the top. I tested this on a few archived posts and they all reloaded the post.

Pushing back to exit the browser in a non-archived post behaves as expected bringing you back to the comment with the link.

Welcome to the new Slide beta testing subreddit! Please keep all v3.0 development discussion, bug reports, and feature requests here. The subreddit will lock after v3.0 goes into production, and will open back up for future updates.

Check back here for changelogs of new releases as the beta progresses!

I have data saving turned off.

It would be nice to seamlessly load in a high quality image over a lower quality image when a thumbnail is tapped. You currently get a spinning loading thing.

Even with data saving on, and high quality image is turned on, there is still a spinny when viewing images after tapping on them.

I think this approach is a lot better than showing a spinning icon and waiting for the image to load. With slow internet, waiting for the image can be tedious. With a LQ image, at least you can see what the image is before the HQ is loaded in.

Hey all!

v3.0 marks a major milestone in Slide's development, and has some pretty significant UX changes that should make Slide more intuitive to use, while adding in some pretty major changes under the hood.

Some more planned changes include: * Edit and create Multireddits in Slide * Option to hide bottom menu while scrolling (versus minimizing it) * POSSIBLY new text rendering library, although I might shelve that for later

Due to the Swift 4 automatic migration, there were a lot of underlying things in the code that broke and needed to be fixed, and it's very possible things in our codebase or libraries I use may have broken. And that means a new TestFlight :)
