Been building out this application with some features I’ve always wanted in other readers. The saved feature caches posts(not its full comments) locally for offline viewing and some other interesting choices for client content sharing on a post.
Few more key components are left, like accounts and mod view.
But was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are and whether they like this design approach.
Sleek! Feels focused on the actual content so, that’s a good one in my books. Font alternatives/options might help for more content on the screen (compact feels easier to handle for me as there is less scrolling).
Happy coding!
Alternative font systems is interesting. What font do you have in mind? I could add a settings option to customize fonts and/or font sizes. For the compact feel how many posts would that be per page? On maybe a iPhone 13 Max screen
Very interesting take on thread browsing! I’m not sure if I caught it in the video, but do you have to click on the parent comment to view the children comments in the breakout viewer? Or can you still view threads like normal (Apollo style, if you will).
I’d prefer a both/and approach. Perhaps Apollo-style as the default with the ability to pop out a thread (as you’ve done here) if I really want to zero in on it.
Really great work. I’ll be following this closely
Hey there, I finally feel the application has reached a relatively stable state. So wanted to share the TF link: testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV and open source repo: github.com/neatia/Loom for more details! Hoping to make another post sometime soon when all the base functionalities are implemented (Mod mode, etc)
Yes! Enthusiastically yes!
We will watch your career with great interest.

That’s a very interesting thread browser. I would never have thought of that. I like it.
And a comments feed like in the webUI. I hadn’t even realised Thunder was missing that. Now I really want to implement that.
Less a fan of the posts basically being identical to comments in appearance.

Thanks for the feedback! For the comments feed were you referring to the bookmarks? Yeah I really like to save comments and browsing through them as if I were looking through a catalog of quotes on goodreads, having it look like a feed was nice. And about comments looking like posts. I see what you mean, I’ll think of a way to make them feel unique. I’ll need to try out Thunder soon too, I have another idea I haven’t seen yet, about content uploading when I get around to it, I’d wonder what you’d think about it.
