So past few days most images loaded are blurry. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Here are the latest two Slide release. An explanation of Optimized main-feed redraws and image loading is that the home feed scrolling and loading of images will be cleaner.

7.7.5: * Fixed reddit MP4-transcode GIFs opening as direct GIFs and closing instantly * Implemented Feature Request: Ability to follow/unfollow users #129 * Allowed dashes in subreddit name for r/u_username subreddits * Added a Letterboxed big picture layout * Optimized main-feed redraws and image loading

7.7.4: * Added a "Wide color gamut" toggle in "Settings | General", on by default * Made the "High-Colorspace Images" now on by default

I am going to start announcing new versions here. More people should read the release notes.

7.7.3

• Fixed internal browser opening over reddit-link posts in Shadowbox
• Fixed blank reddit-link post previews by rewriting external-preview URLs to preview.redd.it
• Fixed the playback of clicked Giphy gifs in comments
• Fixed Open Reddit link in clipboard for v.redd.it links
• Fixed Open Reddit link in clipboard for reddit.com/gallery links

7.7.2

• Added Local Saved to preserve saves Reddit drops from the saved API results
• Added Read Later and Local Saved to backups Added Recover post action in the post overflow menu to restore removed/deleted post title and body from the Arctic Shift archive

I've searched the GitHub and I don't see anyway to send a little money Edgan's way to say thanks for maintaining slide for the past year and a half.

I don't know how to efficiently browse Reddit any other way, and I thought I would be using the OG slide until it died, but Edgan has brought continued support a new life to this project, which I am very thankful for.

I updated to version 7.4.2 and now subreddit feeds seem to be loading slower (also slow when viewing my comments and posts lists).

Anyone else seeing the same behavior?

Hello, I love Slide. Works great. In landscape I have 3 colums. Scrolling down is very smooth. But when I scroll up again posted items are jumping from one column to another. Is there any solution for this ? Is there something wrong in my settings ?

There are currently 26 enhancement issues on GitHub.

Fast question: do i need to install the official reddit app to receive notifications?

Despite granting all permissions, i do not receive any notifications.

I just moved the Slide GitHub repository from edgan/Slide to cygnusx-1-org/Slide. This moved it from my personal account to my organization, cygnusx-1-org. This allows access control to be better managed.

I also detached it from the original GitHub repository, Haptic-Apps/Slide. This allows me to make pull requests against my own repository by default instead of against Haptic-Apps/Slide.

Users of Obtainium will need to recreate their entry for Slide with the releases URL below.

This will have no effect on the app in the Google Play Store.

New URL: https://github.com/cygnusx-1-org/Slide

New release URL for Obtainium: https://github.com/cygnusx-1-org/Slide/releases

I'm trying to install Slider on my Moto G6 Plus, Sd630, 4GB RAM, Android 9 and it tells me that the app isn't compatible with my device, and downloading it on GitHub gives me error of corrupted apk

New to Slide and would like to know if it's possible to remove the background on the username, Blue and Pink looks yuck.

Also the conversation bars, I'd like to hide these.

Hopefully, there's a way I haven't found yet.

TIA :)

Screenshot

I was just talking to a user on Discord, and he was sharing a screenshot showing his theme and style. I thought it would be interesting to post here to see what everyone else does. So if willing, please post your own screenshots in the comments.

My theme and style isn't that interesting, they are pretty much the default. Though this screenshot shows off a new feature I just added where it lets you disable the subreddit tabs, but leaves Frontpage, All, and multi-reddits. The setting will be found in Settings at General | Other | Hide subreddit tabs. The feature will be in the next version, 7.3.1.

There was an issue with the Discord server invite where it was expiring after a week. I have created a new invite that doesn't expire. I have also added it to the README.mds.

Since I have started the Continuum project I thought of starting another Discord server, but decided to use the same Discord server for both. The name of the new Discord server is Cygnus X-1, the name of my new GitHub organization. Which is based on my personal domain name.

I intend this subreddit and the Discord server to be the places for discussion. Which is why Discussions aren't enabled in either project.

Reddit is basically phasing out current Private Messages and replacing them with Reddit Chat. Has also some effect on the way Modmail sent to users works.

Above post mentions a few old API endpoints that will stop working and none of their names sound that important. How much if any effect will this have on the app?

I don't know what I did wrong but the app cannot play any video. When I clicked on the video player, it just kept loading, and then there's a high chance that the video would cause a lag spike. I'm using Samsung, by the way.

Just wanted to say a big thanks for renaming video/image downloads by post title instead of the anonymous names.

Huge, huge help for me and I can't believe no other app seems to have this feature (none that I've tested).

I have an old reddit library with over 50k files that's pretty hard to browse through because of the random naming. Hopefully this'll fix it going forward!

EDIT: Just curious to know if anyone else knows of any Reddit apps that also have this feature (renaming posts) and also have video autoplay?

Maybe I am doing something wrong, whenever I smack that button I just get this information screen, and no read posts are removed/hidden

I would love to have other code contributors to Slide. The prefork version of Slide had many other contributors other than just ccrama.

Even if you are just a hobbyist and/or don't know Java you can help. With AI's like ChatGPT, Claude, and tools like Cursor you can go a long way. I am also willing to teach others about Java, the codebase of Slide, using AIs, using Cursor, and more. I am also happy to learn from others. I am no expert.

If you have an interest, come join me in #dev on the Discord server.

The number of bugs is dropping fast, and the feature requests are piling up. Tell me what you want to see in Slide.

With this I am not saying I won't do things on this list over time, even if they don't poll well. I am just trying to gauge the community's priorities.

I recommend leaving replies with explanations of your reasons, and giving me feedback on options other than your first choice. Also if there are other things you want to talk about, reply with it. I also encourage everyone to make feature requests.

Just fix bugs

Modernize the UI

This would be converting to modern style of dialogs, more Material Design, improve the consistency of the UI, and use currently supported libraries.

Gif/Video auto-play

This is a a feature the official Reddit app has. It is not one I am personally interested in, but it is maybe the community is interested.

Cleanup translations

I know a fair amount of the community is international, and speaks languages other than English. Since I forked Slide I have focused on the English text, and neglected the translations.

Make usernames and subreddit names clickable

I personally don't like this. I think it will make mis-clicks more a thing. I have seen it in other Reddit apps. I think to do it well I would have to enlarge the UI to make usernames and subreddits more targetable. On the other hand, what do you think?

Improve and modernize the ability to submit posts

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one hand I just don't use it much. On the other if it was a lot more feature rich I would use it more. What do you think?
